Jennifer Lopez is showing her true self with her new album, This Is Me… Now, and the accompanying musical cinematic experience. At the recent red carpet of the film at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood on Tuesday the songstress accompanied by her husband Ben Affleck revealed the experience of her 15-year-old twins — daughter Emme and son Max who she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony. Let’s find out their reaction.
Jennifer Lopez said her kids asked which parts are real and which parts are not
The project which tells a fictionalized version of her rekindled romance and marriage to Ben Affleck, the 54-year-old said, “The album that I made was very honest, about kind of wanting to capture this moment in time of reconnecting with a love, It seems like a fairytale, but it really wasn’t. And so I really wanted to tell that part of the story — the real story, in a way, but not my autobiographical story.”
As per the actress, she and director/co-writer Dave Meyers “come up with the idea of telling the story of a hopeless romantic who kind of is going through her life’s journey in her search for love, and what it means and what it’s about.”
Moreover, talking about the reaction of her kids she recalled, “I was talking to my kids about this, and then they’re like, ‘Which parts are real and which parts are not?’ And I said, ‘You will think some parts are real, that are not. And then some parts you don’t think are real, are real, But it is inspired by a lot of the things I went through and it’s really about what it has been for me to be a hopeless romantic my whole life, and some of the pitfalls of that.”
In addition, she added, it was “kind of exciting and terrifying to explore all of it” in such a public and open space. “But for the first time, I felt really compelled to do something that wasn’t about anything except wanting to do something, like art for art’s sake, and that’s why I did it myself.”
JLo also acknowledged Affleck to be a major source of support and inspiration in the project.
“That’s the genius that is Ben Affleck,” the mother of two marveled. “It has nothing to do with me. Whatever he asks me to do, I’m like, ‘Yeah, Ok, sure, I’ll be there.”
