However, Ben is officially credited as an executive producer on J.Lo’s upcoming musical crime drama. She recently said on CBS Sunday Morning, “I told him, ‘This is a role that I was born to play,’ and I wanted to do it, and he said, ‘Okay,’ and he helped make it happen.”
According to People, he even introduced last night’s screening, calling J.Lo “incredible” and saying, “My goal was to empower great artists and tell moving stories and great opportunities for these kinds of great stories to be told and to work with the best directors in the world and the best material.”
He further said to Extra, “She worked enormously hard. You get to see like all of her many gifts, she’s somebody that grew up watching, you know, classic musicals…she’s fabulous, although that shouldn’t be any surprise to anyone.”
Jennifer, for her part, said that the movie “wouldn’t have been made without Ben and without Artists Equity,” the studio cofounded by Ben and Matt Damon.
The actual moment they reunited on the red carpet was captured by Access Hollywood, where Ben can be seen asking Jennifer for a photo:
