Jennifer Lopez discussed who she would have sex with, her love of toxic romances and healing from her ‘hard’ Ben Affleck split in an interview.
The 56-year-old became a little fruity as she talked about her love of the movie True Romance while appearing on Brett Goldstein’s podcast, Films To Be Buried With.
The flick tells the story of a pop-culture enthusiast who steals cocaine from his new wife’s pimp and tries to sell it in Hollywood, prompting mobsters who own the drugs to pursue the couple.
Jennifer said, ‘There are all these seedy characters in this movie. Christian Slater, who works in this record store, who has hallucinations of Elvis, played by Val Kilmer…
‘Patricia Arquette couldn’t be better as a hooker with a heart of gold, the sweetest.
‘And then to have Dennis Hopper and his dad Christopher Walken in one of the greatest scenes of all time between two actors, then Brad Pitt as a stoner and James Gandolfini… Gary Oldman…
‘I would have had sex with any one of them, which says a lot about the dark side of me. All of them were so f***ing good in this movie.’

Jennifer also spoke to Brett, her co-star in the upcoming film Office Romance, about her difficult times, including her divorce from Ben Affleck and how her father helped her heal.
The singer and actress, who has 18-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony, split from her fourth husband in August 2024.
She admitted the 2024 Oscar-winning Brazilian biopic I’m Still Here had a huge impact on her as she tried to grapple with her complex feelings.
Brett asked her: ‘What’s the film that changed your perspective on something or made you see the world in a new way?’
She replied: ‘A couple [of] years ago, I got really sick around Christmas time. My family was in town. My dad, my mom, my cousin, everybody.
‘My Dad [David] is not a sit-down watch-a-movie guy. My mom [Guadalupe] was all about movies, entertainment, musicals, the whole thing, I got all of that from her.’
Her father agreed to watch the film – in which Fernanda Torres portrays the real-life Eunice Paiva, whose politician husband Rubens Paiva (Selton Mello) disappeared during Brazil’s 1964 to 1985 military dictatorship – with her.
Jennifer noted: ‘I think because I was sick. And at that time of my life, I was going through a divorce and thinking a lot about my kids.

‘As you do when something like that happens in your life, [we watched a movie].
‘My dad was sitting there and something happened in my head and I just started crying, where I started calculating all of the things with my kids, my experience with my dad, like everything happened just all at once.
‘My whole family knew I was going through a hard time… He turns around and he sees my face. I was trying to cry quietly — when you try to cry quietly, then it’s like all the tears, it’s like water gushing down my face.’
The Hustlers star recalled her dad asking what was wrong, leading a tender moment between them which helped Jennifer ‘move on’ from her difficulties.
She recalled: ‘I said, “Dads are so important.” And he just kind of came over to me and grabbed my face and said, “I love you. I always loved you.” And that kind of changed my life in that moment.
‘[It] healed a part of me that needed to be healed to kind of move on from that part of my life and from those types of relationships in my life. So that movie changed me and helped me grow.’
After Brett thanked his friend for the ‘lovely story’, Jennifer laughed through her tears and asked: ‘Are you gonna cry too? Cry with me! Why are you leaving me all alone?’
Her words come after Jennifer brutally shaded her A-list ex-husband Ben.

She was asked by the 58-year-old chat show host: ‘Do you feel like your next great love is ahead of you?’
‘I think my… yeah,’ the massive star said without any hesitation. ‘My greatest love is ahead of me 100 percent. Without a doubt.’
Jennifer had said ‘I do’ to Ben in 2022 but filed for divorce on their second wedding anniversary.
During the new podcast interview, Jennifer spoke to Brett about her love of the movie Nine and a Half Weeks. When Brett asks what film gives her a ‘troubling boner’, Jennifer details her penchant for toxic love.
She said, ‘I love the love that they had and the obsession they had for each another.
‘She [Kim Basinger] knew that it was dark and no good and so mysterious but that’s what made it sexy and good but also knew it was toxic
‘We’d know now it was no good but back then we were not using that word as much.
‘Now if we saw it, [shouts] TOXIC! This is terrible, look what he’s making her do. You want her to get out of it, but I didn’t want her to get out of it. I loved every moment.’
Jennifer also credits the ending of The Notebook, in which an elderly couple in love die peacefully in bed together.
Jennifer said, ‘There is nothing more romantic.
‘That’s what everyone wants, is to have that connection and to love someone so deeply that you can’t imagine your life without them.’
