n the 2005 romantic comedy film “Monster-in-Law.” Now, the 86-year-old actress is once again not holding her tongue when it comes to the “I’m Real” singer’s real-life choices. Fonda appears in Lopez’s forthcoming Amazon Prime Video movie, “This Is Me … Now: A Love Story,” which accompanies Lopez’s ninth studio album, “This Is Me … Now,” as part of the movie’s “zodiac counsel.” But despite her appearance, the “Book Club” star had her hesitations because of J.Lo’s husband Ben Affleck.“I want you to know that I don’t entirely know why, but I feel invested in you and Ben, and I really want this to work,” Fonda says in the upcoming documentary “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” which follows the making of the album and film, according to Variety.”“However, this is absurd,” she added.
“Like, it feels too much like you’re trying to prove something instead of just living it. You know, every other photograph is the two of you kissing and the two of you hugging.”Unfazed by her remarks, Lopez, 54, just laughed and said, “That’s just us living our life.”Fonda also voiced her concern after seeing paparazzi pics of Affleck, 51, looking sad alongside Lopez at the 2023 Grammy Awards.“He looks unhappy and I’m like, ‘Oh, my God, what’s happening?’” Fonda tells Lopez in the documentary.“Nothing,” Lopez retorted.
“He was like, ‘I’ve become the symbol of the beleaguered man.’”Before she agreed to appear in “This Is Me … Now: A Love Story,” Fonda spoke with Lopez’s manager Benny Medina, according to Variety.“I believe that everyone in the entire world is pulling for this relationship and this love,” Fonda told Medina. “And the idea of how you present that is so sacrosanct, so important.

Jennifer Lopez’s much-anticipated new album “This Is Me… Now” — the sequel to 2002’s “This Is Me… Then,” which drops on Friday — once again revolves around her Hollywood love affair with “Gigli” co-star Ben Affleck.But just like that much-maligned romantic comedy did in 2003, Lopez’s first studio album in 10 years — since 2014’s “A.K.A.” — proves yet again that sometimes art and amor just don’t mix.First off, like most sequels, it pales compared to the original.While it was hardly Janet Jackson’s “The Velvet Rope,” Rihanna’s “Anti” or Beyoncé’s anything, “This Is Me… Then” was probably J.Lo’s most “artistic” album.Yes, it had two hit hip-pop bops in “Jenny from the Block” — which infamously featured Affleck in its video — and the lip-licking LL Cool J collab “All I Have.” But Lopez’s third studio LP also found the singer-actress digging for more emotional depth than she had shown on either 1999’s “On the 6” or 2001’s “J.Lo.”But you know what? “On the 6” and “J.Lo” were ultimately better albums because Lopez played to her strengths with booty-shaking beats — the better to hoof it up in some killer couture — rather than heart-tugging feels.And “This Is Me… Now” leans even more into J.Lover rather than J.Lo.While the first single, “Can’t Get Enough” — another hip-pop bop that samples Alton Ellis’ ’60s reggae classic “I’m Still in Love with You” while nodding to Marcia Aitken’s 1977 version of the song— would’ve been a hit 20 years ago, the rest of Lopez’s ninth studio album finds the Bronx-born diva stuck in a romantic rut.
Jennifer Lopez is down to create another love story on screen with husband Ben Affleck.The “Maid in Manhattan” star, 54, and the “Argo” director, 51, infamously starred in the 2003 box office bomb “Gigli.” Despite the rom-com being not-so well-received, it led to the long-time couple’s relationship as they met on set.The “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” singer looked back on the film and other past roles in a sit-down interview with Variety.“The first time meeting him on that film was at the read-through,” Lopez said.“They did a read-through of the whole thing and I remember kind of just walking in and I think he was outside, smoking a cigarette and I saw him and we just talked for, like, a minute and then I sat down and we did the read-through,” she went on.“I don’t remember a whole bunch more about it, but I remember being on the set with him every day and loving it.” The singer was married to her second husband, backup dancer Cris Judd, at the time.When asked if she would ever make a movie with Affleck again, she revealed she’s “open” to the idea.“I don’t know, in the right thing, maybe, in the right thing. I mean, we love working together and being together, so maybe,” Lopez added.The Martin Brest-directed project chronicled Affleck as a dumb hitman (Larry Gigli) who is tasked with kidnapping the brother of a prominent district attorney.
