Jennifer Lopez speaks to Katie Ellis on how Unstoppable made her realise that she can overcome anything in life

- Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez needs no introduction. The 55-year-old superstar has always made powerful statements with her performances. From inserting one of her songs titled Let's Get Loud into her performance during the inauguration ceremony of the US President-elect Joe Biden in 2021 to her 2020 Superbowl Halftime Show where she made a reference to Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention centres-JLo has done it all. She looks back at her journey and how the protagonist in her latest movie Unstoppable inspires her.

Q: What was it about this story that attracted you?

JL: I loved it from the moment I read the script. It's victorious and such an inspiring story. It's also a Latino story. It's always important for me to play characters like Judy. The ones I feel are very relatable and inspirational. To see where she started and where she is today is really remarkable. But, this is Anthony Robles' story at the end of the day, and Jharrel Jerome did an amazing job playing him. The things he had to overcome, not just physically but also psychologically, to become the extraordinary person that he is today is just incredible.
