Ben Affleck Buys Ads To Praise ‘Gigli’ Co-Star J.Lo

Jennifer Lopez’s ‘Gigli’ co-star Ben Affleck shelled out over $20,000 for ads running in ‘Variety’ and ‘Hollywood Reporter’ to say how much he enjoyed working with her and how he was ashamed of his notions beforehand that she’d be a diva. Affleck wrote, “I really liked working with her and have been so impressed with her acting skills,” he said. “In a lot of ways it was in contrast to what some of my pre-conceptions were about Jennifer. I thought I’d write a paragraph saying what a professional, decent person I think she is and how kind she is.”
