He’s a great entertainer,” she said. “I’m super excited for people to see him who think that because I think they’ll be pleasantly surprised because his music transcends language.”
Despite some backlash surrounding Bad Bunny’s performance, Lopez seemed unaware of the controversy. When asked about it, she responded with genuine confusion, stating, “I swear I don’t know. Why? But why? I don’t understand that. He’s one of the top artists in the world right now, probably the top.” She stood by her support for Bad Bunny, emphasizing that he has achieved something many have never done in their lifetime.
A Dream Project for Jennifer Lopez
In addition to her excitement for Bad Bunny, Lopez discussed her upcoming film, Kiss of the Spider Woman, which she called a long-time dream project. This film marks her first true movie musical, combining her talents in singing, dancing, and acting. “This is like a dream come true. I get to sing, I get to dance, I get to play a Hollywood movie star,” she said.
Lopez reflected on how this role aligns with her childhood aspirations. “There was so much about it that were checks of the bucket list of when I was a little girl and was dreaming of doing this with my life,” she added. The film centers around themes of escapism and resilience, which resonated with her during a difficult period in her personal life.
Lopez also mentioned that the story helped her navigate through challenges. “The movie is about escapism, about how movies and art save us in the hardest times of our lives,” she explained. “Doing this project was such a dream come true for me and it really got me through, to survive a moment that was difficult in my personal life as well.”
A Collaboration with Ben Affleck
During the interview, Lopez was also asked about her recent divorce from Ben Affleck, who is an executive producer on the film. She laughed at the mention, crediting her ex for helping bring the project to life. “If it wasn’t for Ben the movie would not have got made,” she said. “Things happen… you have to keep going.”
Lopez even hinted at the possibility of bringing Kiss of the Spider Woman to Broadway. “Yeah, I could,” she said with a smile. “There’s been some talk, there’s been some talk about that.” Her openness to future opportunities reflects her continued passion for the arts and her desire to explore new creative avenues.
