“Jennifer is incredible in this movie,” he told E! News at the time, referring to her role as a sultry Hollywood actor. “She’s fabulous. And it’s an enormously difficult—it’s all these masters, so it’s not edited in such a way where you can make a little mistake here and there in the dance. It’s singing, dancing, acting and also trying to hold together these multiple tones in the movie.”
Though an overwhelming task, he noted the Selena alum—mom to twins Max and Emme, 17, with Marc Anthony—handled that “maximum level of difficulty” with incredible “grace.”
“I love her performance in the movie,” he continued. “She’s amazing, spectacular, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it. “This role, she was just clearly born to play. It’s a genre that she’s always wanted to do her whole life.”
