Jennifer on her journey as a Latina actor
Recently, Jennifer Lopez reflected on her decade-long journey in Hollywood and opened up about the challenges she faced as a Latina actor in the film industry. While appearing on Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast, she had said, “When I started, there weren’t a lot of roles for Latinas. I was auditioning for parts with accents and stereotypes. I kept thinking, ‘Why can’t I just play a romantic lead? Why can’t I be the girl next door?’ That belief–that conviction that I belonged — was what helped me break those moulds.”
Jennifer’s next film
She will be next seen in a biographical sports drama film titled Unstoppable. She will be playing the role of Judy Robles, the mother of NCAA wrestling champion Anthony Robles. Directed by debutant Villy Goldenberg, the film also stars Jharrel Jerome in the lead role. Unstoppable will release on January 16 on Prime Video.
