Jennifer Lopez is really putting her heart into her latest project, This Is Me…Now: A Love Story, and she credits her real-life love with Ben Affleck for giving her the push she needed to make it happen.
At a recent press conference, Lopez and director Dave Meyers shared insights into their ambitious collaboration. Lopez revealed how Affleck's support helped her overcome doubts during production. His words of encouragement empowered her to embrace her multifaceted talents and dive into the creative process.
Their renewed romance served as a major inspiration for the project's direction. Meyers mentioned a scene where Lopez portrays a construction worker in a heart factory, symbolizing the emotional journey she went through during her breakup with Affleck years ago.
This Is Me…Now: A Love Story is not just a film but a musical and visual journey based on Lopez's life events and her upcoming album. It's a sequel of sorts to her 2002 album, This Is Me…Then, and features an array of celebrity cameos, including Affleck himself.
During the press conference, Lopez explained how the project evolved from her album and her desire to tell a bigger story. She funded the ambitious venture herself, marking a significant turning point in her career and personal life.
The project allowed Lopez to confront her own struggles with love and self-acceptance, empowering her to embrace vulnerability and authenticity. Despite facing challenges along the way, Lopez and her team turned obstacles into opportunities, resulting in a truly unique and captivating final product.
This Is Me…Now: A Love Story premieres on Prime Video on February 16th, promising audiences a deeply personal and empowering experience.
