Ben Affleck Explains Jennifer Lopez Misconceptions

Ben Affleck spoke with Bob Strauss of the LA Daily News on popular misconceptions about his fiance Jennifer Lopez. “The thing about Jennifer Lopez is that she’s somebody who wasn’t told that she was super beautiful all her life growing up,” Ben explains. “What she trades on and counts on is this incredible work ethic. It’s all hustle — nobody ever gave Jennifer Lopez anything. Nobody ever said, ‘Hey kid, you’re going to be a star. This world’s cut out for Latina women with a different shape than Kate Moss. The whole world’s your oyster.’ She always knew that if it was ever going to happen, it’s all on (her). She’s very self-reliant and very determined and focused, which often is confused with naked ambition and other unpleasant character attributes — which, I have to tell you, are not true.”
