For benniferthis 2023 they will not only pay homage to the love with capital letters that professes itself through It’s me now, but also the first time they worked together in the cinema. As? Unite again for a feature film.
If in 2002 JLo and Ben Affleck starred in Lilies and, a year later, jersey girl, this year, they will return together on a film set of different professions. Because while the Bronx diva will be part of the cast, Affleck will be the executive producer of the future film, entitled Unstoppable.
This film will tell the life story of Anthony Robles, the legendary wrestler who was born with one leg and managed to win a National Wrestling Championship in 2011. Additionally, it will be directed by Jharrel Jeromeactor who participated in the Oscar Moonlight a Netflix series that’s how they see us.

Asked about his wife’s signature in a recent interview, the director of Argo He exclaimed that, from his production company Artists Equity—founded in November 2022 with his partner, actor Matt Damon—, “We always hire the best actors.” And in a past meeting with CBS Sunday morningBen confessed that it would be “fun” and that “Going to work with your wife and your best friend is a good thing.“.
The two fictions of the 2000s were considered a real failure at the box office: the first (lilies), due to the couple’s lack of chemistry, according to critics; and the second (Jersey girl), due to tabloid press harassment that wore, blasted and ended the first chapter of the now-married couple’s great love story. And it is that it is no longer a secret that, almost two decades after their first crush and notorious breakup, Bennifer found herself with even more passion than the first time, a passion that materialized with her double marriage in July and August 2022, respectively.
In this way —and as we have seen in recent days with ‘Rauwsalía’, for example— Bennifer will be another of the couples who do not hesitate to mix the personal and the professional; on the contrary, they see it as an opportunity to nurture their relationship and grow together from the same creative blueprint.
