Jennifer Lopez attended the London screening of her new film, Unstoppable, at Cineworld Leicester Square. 

The biopic, produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's company, Artists Equity, tells the story of Judy Robles, a teen mom, and her son Anthony, a one-legged wrestling champion.

During the Q&A session, Lopez shared her insights into Judy's character. "I initially thought she was a smaller character, but after meeting her, I realized the story was just as much about Judy as it was about Anthony."

Lopez connected with Judy's experiences, calling the film "very relatable" for women in challenging relationships. 

"I think a lot of women have gone through that, and she and I talked a lot... We got to know each other. I wanted her to really feel safe with me sharing details."

Lopez highlighted the struggles mothers face and hide from their children. "There was a whole different story there that she was living, that you hide from your children, you protect your children from that... But I thought it was really, really important to not just play the mom who the kids knew, but to play the woman who raised these children and where she found her own strength and her own struggles."

She emphasized Judy's resilience and determination. "I wanted them to see Judy in it... I really enjoyed losing myself and... I didn’t want anybody to see me in it."

On the red carpet, Lopez stunned in a white ensemble, comprising a fluffy jacket and halter neck dress.

Recently, the Atlas star publicly endorsed Kamala Harris for president and shared polling station information on Instagram. She also defended Puerto Rico against disparaging remarks made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at a Trump rally.

Lopez stated, "It wasn’t just Puerto Ricans that were offended that day, it was every Latino in this country, it was humanity and anyone of decent character."

This appearance follows Lopez's filing for divorce from Ben Affleck, ending months of speculation about their marital status.
