Jennifer Lopez Says She'd Have Slept With 1993 True Romance Cast on Podcast

Q: With an R-rated comedy and unfiltered confessions, is Jennifer Lopez launching a new, edgier career phase?

Yes — the evidence suggests Jennifer Lopez is leaning into a more candid, more adult public and screen persona, though it looks more like an evolution than a full reinvention. The clearest sign is “Office Romance.” Brett Goldstein has explicitly framed the Netflix film as a “more grown-up, adult” romantic comedy, and Lopez herself has emphasized its mix of warmth with harder, more profane humor. Her role as a powerful CEO also marks a shift from the softer, aspirational rom-com characters that defined hits like “The Wedding Planner” and “Maid in Manhattan.” If the film is landing as a mainstream Netflix success, that gives Lopez room to keep pursuing more mature material. Her recent interviews reinforce that shift. On Goldstein’s podcast, Lopez’s blunt “True Romance” confession was unusually unfiltered for a star long associated with tightly managed glamour. That candor fits with other recent comments about her divorce and personal life, where she has spoken more openly about regret, emotional pain and being single. Still, this is not a radical break from her brand. Lopez has always balanced sex appeal, confidence and mainstream accessibility. What is changing is the tone: less polished, more self-aware, and more willing to embrace adult comedy and personal frankness. So far, the signs point to a deliberate recalibration rather than a shock makeover — a veteran star updating her image for her 50s with sharper humor, stronger characters and fewer filters.

Q: With Ben Affleck absent from her premiere, is Jennifer Lopez's professional partnership with him already over?

No. Ben Affleck’s absence from Jennifer Lopez’s premiere does not, by itself, show that their professional partnership is over. The available reporting points the other way: although Lopez and Affleck’s personal relationship ended, their work ties have continued on projects already in motion. “Unstoppable” was produced by Affleck, and his company Artists Equity has also been linked to another Lopez project, “Kiss of the Spider Woman.” That suggests an ongoing professional connection at least at the production level. Affleck’s no-show at the Toronto premiere of “Unstoppable” is better understood in the context of their divorce and separate public lives than as proof of a business split. Reports noted that Matt Damon, Affleck’s Artists Equity partner, attended instead. In Hollywood, producers do not always attend every premiere, and an absence alone is weak evidence of a severed partnership. What is clear is that Lopez has moved into a new promotional cycle centered on her own work, including Netflix’s “Office Romance,” while Affleck remains offstage publicly. But there is no confirmed report that they have formally ended all professional collaboration. So the most accurate reading is that their romantic partnership is over, while their professional relationship appears to have continued on specific existing projects. Whether they will start new ventures together remains unconfirmed.

Jennifer Lopez said on Brett Goldstein’s “Films to be Buried With” podcast that she “would’ve had sex with any one” of the 1993 “True Romance” cast.
The 56-year-old actress made the remark after praising the film’s “seedy characters” and performances by Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Christopher Walken, Dennis Hopper, Brad Pitt, James Gandolfini and Gary Oldman.
Lopez singled out Arquette’s battered-but-“sexy” character in one scene, saying the cast’s work was “so incredibly f---ing good” and “top-notch.”
The appearance comes as Lopez and Goldstein promote Netflix rom-com “Office Romance,” in which she plays a CEO whose no-office-dating rule is challenged by a new lawyer.
