Jennifer Lopez is returning the favor after estranged husband Ben Affleck recently praised her.
Lopez, 55, stars in the new boxing drama Unstoppable, produced by Affleck, 52, and his best friend, Matt Damon. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight published last week, Affleck described Lopez’s performance in the movie as “spectacular.”
On Monday, November 5, Lopez shared her reaction to Affleck’s praise at the U.K. premiere of Unstoppable, per footage shared via social media.
“I would describe all of the cast and everybody behind the scenes as spectacular and wonderful,” Lopez told a reporter.
During a video interview with Entertainment Tonight published on Sunday, November 3, Affleck discussed Unstoppable’s early favorable reviews and how the project compares to his latest film, Small Things Like These, starring Cillian Murphy. (Affleck and Damon’s Artists Equity production company is behind both films.)
“Unstoppable is a very different movie than this, but in a way, it’s similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists. [Director] Billy Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel [Jerome] and Bobby Cannavale, all were really passionate about this film,” Affleck told the outlet.
As he expanded on the cast of Unstoppable, Affleck pointed out their emotional connection to the story, noting that, “Jennifer is spectacular.”
Affleck continued, “[Unstoppable is] another one that we’re really, really proud of. We believed in the right people [in Small Things Like These] and Unstoppable is another example of that.”
The former couple’s praise for each other comes just months after Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck after two years of marriage.
Lopez filed for divorce on August 20 at a court in Los Angeles. Lopez listed the couple’s date of separation as April 26 — three months before she and Affleck celebrated their second wedding anniversary.
