Jennifer Lopez Says She Wouldn't Mind Doing a 'Gigli' Sequel With Ben Affleck
[embedded content]
Jennifer Lopez has rekindled her romance with Ben Affleck after nearly two decades apart, and now she's revealing she might be ready to resume another part of their relationship. In her recent "73 Questions" interview with Vogue, published Nov. 30, Lopez showed off the Los Angeles mansion she shares with Affleck and hinted that she would collaborate on another film together.
“Which of your movies would you most like to have a sequel to?” the cameraman asks and Lopez replies "Gigli". The 2003 film starred Lopez and Affleck, but it was a critical and commercial failure and has been described as one of the worst films of all time. However, this led to Lopez and Affleck's relationship and eventual engagement, which they broke up in 2004. In 2021, they rekindled their romance and eventually married in July 2022. Despite numerous other movie experiences over the years, when the interviewer asks who made him laugh the most between scenes, Lopez says it has to be "my husband, Ben."
"Gigli" isn't the only movie Lopez and Affleck have made together. They followed it up with 2004's 'Jersey Girl' - but thanks to being set where the famous couple first met, 'Gigli' might be the most famous film collaboration of the couple. Affleck himself addressed "Gigli's" legacy in a January interview with Entertainment Weekly. "The truth about this movie and what it taught me is how everything that surrounds a movie kind of dictates how people see it," he said. "But for being a movie that's such a famous bomb and disaster, very few people have actually seen the movie. It doesn't work, by the way. It's kind of a horse's head in the body of a cow. And the studio at the time, because I started having this relationship with Jennifer Lopez, who sold a lot of magazines and seemed to generate a lot of enthusiasm, they hooked up as you would expect, "They want a romantic comedy. They want both together. More of that!""
While a “Gigli” remake or sequel still seems relatively unlikely, Lopez has incorporated Affleck into her art in other ways. In a Nov. 28 interview with Zane Lowe, she shared that her upcoming album "This Is Me . . . Now" is inspired by their romance. "I think the message of the album is very important if you're wondering if you've, like me sometimes, lost hope, almost given up, don't do it," she said. "Because true love exists and some things last forever and that's real."
