A sort of mirror to her 2002 album entitled This is me… Then, where she already talked about her love story with the actor, Ben Affleck being her fiancé in the early 2000s, This Is Me… Now: A Love Story tells us about a romance and a life where mythological stories and personal healing intertwine.
In this musical and autobiographical film, Jennifer Lopez, who plays the “love addict” Artist, tries to rebuild herself after the loss of her first love. Through 3 failed marriages, the 54-year-old singer evokes toxic and abusive relationships with domestic violence, but she also engages in real introspection, deciphering her relationship with men and romantic relationships.
The cast of This Is Me… Now: A Love Story with Ben Affleck
For this romantic comedy with touches of science fiction, the interpreter of Love Don’t Cost a Thing relied on a renowned cast to worthily represent his “guardian angels”, his character being guided by the 12 signs of the zodiac.
Among the celebrities who sit on the astral council, we will find the actresses Jane Fonda and Sofía Vergara, recently seen in the series Griselda on Netflix, in Sagittarius and Cancer. On the Lion side, rapper Post Malone was chosen, while Scorpio will be played by singer Keke Palmer. Finally, J. Lo will also be able to count on the presence of the presenter of the 2024 Grammy Awards, host Trevor Noah, who will represent Libra.
Obviously, This Is Me… Now would not be a love story without the presence of Ben Affleck. If Jennifer Lopez’s husband doesn’t appear much on screen, we nevertheless recognize him during the opening scene of the $20 million clip, where the singer and the 51-year-old actor take a romantic stroll in motorcycle, which ends tragically, the couple being victims of an accident.
To discover this new visual album, it’s happening on Prime Video, where This Is Me… Now: A Love Story has been available since February 16.
