It was seen that Jennifer Lopez and Matt Damon were engaged in a profound conversation while attending the Toronto Film Festival; nevertheless, any discussion of Ben Affleck was strictly prohibited under any circumstances. Both of them were there at the renowned festival to present their newest film, which is titled "Unstoppable."
J.Lo, who is 55 years old, plays the lead role in the drama, and Max and Ben serve as producers. The sources claim that Matt "was not having any of it" despite the fact that J.Lo made every effort to bring up her ex-boyfriend during the after-party.
Matt, who has been Ben's best friend ever since they were children, "shut down any attempt that J.Lo made to discuss [him]," an insider told the Daily Mail. Ben is 52 years old.
J.Lo and Matt, who is 53 years old, were reportedly having a serious and impassioned talk that lasted for almost twenty minutes, according to several attendees who were present at the party. The artist who sang "Love Don't Cost a Thing" took Matt's hand in hers at one point in the performance. On the other hand, the insider claims that Matt has refused to get lured in since he ensures that Ben would "always have Ben’s back no matter what."
"[Matt] told her he is glad she is doing well and is thankful for her participation in the film - but made it clear he was not there to talk about Ben at all," the source told New Idea Magazine. "It was her timing that was so awkward because she would have known that pulling Matt aside at the event to have an intimate talk was going to get picked up everywhere and go viral."
Affleck's team has presented his ex-girlfriend as fame-obsessed, while Lopez's camp has been briefing against the other since their breakup. Lopez's camp has claimed that Affleck was "selfish, sullen, and a loudmouth," while Affleck's team has described his ex as being obsessed with fame. He did not like that their relationship was so public.
Her love story with the actor and the letters he gave her in the early stages of their relationship inspired the singer to create a documentary, a musical film, and an album. The singer is noted for her work in these areas.
Despite the fact that Affleck said that he enjoys the famous limelight less than his wife, he acknowledged that it would not be "fair" to Lopez to remove her from the spotlight himself.
It was alleged that Damon gave Affleck the advice to "focus on his work" and to refrain from losing sight of his professional ambitions prior to the public announcement of their breakup agreement.
Because Damon has been in a happy marriage with his wife Luciana Barroso for more than 18 years, Affleck has always placed a great value on the opinions of his friends.
In 1997, the friends who had been together for more than four decades made a significant debut in the industry by winning the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for their work on the film "Good Will Hunting."
They worked on a number of projects together again, despite the fact that Affleck would later state that they had pondered going their separate ways professionally. However, this did not occur on the professional front.
The close friends still have another film to promote with J.Lo in the coming months. It is a movie musical called "Kiss of the Spider Woman," and she is also a co-producer on the film.
