Ben Affleck Skipping Premiere for Movie He Produced Starring Estranged Wife Jennifer Lopez
A breakup isn’t stopping this film from soldiering on.
With Unstoppable premiering just weeks after star Jennifer Lopez and co-producer Ben Affleck officially broke up, the film’s director William Goldenberg is giving an inside look into how the dynamics of all those involved.
And when it comes to whether there’s awkwardness between Jennifer and Ben, who are in the process of divorcing, William told Variety, “Not really.”
The director—who has previously worked with Ben as an editor on films such as Air and Argo—explained that it’s part of the job.
“Everybody’s a professional, and that’s their own personal thing,” he added. “I love them both. I mean, I know Ben better, but Jennifer was literally a dream to work with. She was incredible. And their personal life is their personal life.”
Unstoppable is set to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival Sept. 6 and while Jennifer—who stars in the film alongside Jharrel Jerome and Bobby Cannavale—is set to walk the carpet, E! News has confirmed Ben will not be in attendance.
