Speaking to the audience, the singer-actress revealed that Affleck has reservations about the project, not wanting to divulge personal details about their relationship.During a Q&A with producer Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, Lopez said (via People): “The other scary part was that I was bringing into it my husband, who was kind of the reluctant participant, silent participant and all.“I just said to him during one of the parts of the movie, I was like, ‘Is this weird?’ He’s like, ‘Yes.’ I said, ‘You’re crazy.’ I told him he was crazy, not me.

But I know that I’m a crazy one. I get that part,” she continued.Despite Affleck’s concerns, Lopez stressed the importance of showing vulnerability in her work.

She explained: “I really feel like as an artist, you have to be vulnerable. You have to, even when you’re playing a role, have to get down to the real parts of yourself to share what it’s like to be human.
