Jennifer Lopez loved playing Zoe, but it was also an eye-opening experience for her. While speaking to BeyondBeautifulJlo, she revealed that she admires some of her character’s traits, even though they differ in one key way.
“She was so comfortable being alone, having lost her parents so young. I’m so uncomfortable being alone. We were total opposites. In a sense, it made me admire this person, and I loved playing her because I envy people like this in that sense. But that was also her crutch, you know what I mean?”
Interestingly, “The Back-Up Plan” was Lopez’s first movie project after returning from maternity leave. In the same interview, J-Lo said that having children helped her become a better performer, and she experienced growth within herself while making the film. Now that the rom-com is on Netflix, the world will hopefully find some newfound appreciation for a role important to the “Hustlers” star.
