Singer and actress Jennifer Lopez got emotional and couldn’t hold back cries at the premiere of ‘Unstoppable.’ As reported by Entertainment Weekly, the film stars her in the lead role. It was screened at the Toronto International Film Festival.
In Unstoppable, Jennifer portrays the mother of Anthony Robles, a real-life wrestling champion who overcame immense challenges to achieve his dream.

The film has a special significance with her ex-husband actor Ben Affleck serving as producer along with his longtime friend Matt Damon. After watching the film and reflecting on her character’s story, Jennifer shared her emotions.
“I really got to talk to her about how she felt about being a mom, being a mom to a child that was handicapped, being a person who was really kind of lost and in bad relationships and had to kind of figure herself out while she was raising these five kids,” says Lopez, who shares 16-year-old twins, Emme and Max, with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
“To see what her story is at the end of the movie, that she has a PhD, but her son inspired her to do that because she supported her son, it’s a beautiful kind of exchange of love and selflessness that they both had,” Lopez continues.
It’s also worth noting that earlier this year (May), rumors surfaced about difficulties in Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck‘s relationship.
