Big compromise by Jennifer Lopez? Amid divorce, she had to let go of this to work with ex-husband Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez set aside her ego to collaborate with Ben Affleck on Unstoppable during their divorce.

Working on the upcoming film Unstoppable with her estranged husband Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez acknowledged that she had to let go of her ego in order to focus on her career, as quoted in a report by In Touch.

In an interview with Amazon/MGM, Jennifer, 55, remarked of her role as Judy Robles, that it was an honour to be a part of Anthony Robles and to play Judy. Because it is her story, you have to go in there and have so much respect for the person you are playing, so she approached the role with a complete lack of ego.

Judy is the only person on the screen. Fortunately, she was able to spend time with her and get to know her both as a mother and as a person.

The film Unstoppable, which was produced by Ben, 52, and Matt Damon, is based on the 36-year-old wrestler Anthony. Ben and Jennifer, who divorced in August, set aside their marital issues to make the movie a success. The Deep Water actor actually called his estranged wife's performance in the film spectacular.

Ben discussed his other project with Entertainment Tonight on November 3. Unstoppable is a very different movie than Small Things Like These, but in a way it's similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists, he said. Don Cheadle, Jharrel, Bobby Cannavale, Jennifer, and director Billy Goldenberg were all fervently committed to this movie.
