Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck
Fun Facts From Their Movies Together
He’s an Oscar-winning actor/producer; she’s triple-threat superstar who was SNUBBED of her Oscar nomination! But Bennifer have made movies together too! Here’s what you should know!
To date, the married couple have made two movies together: Gigli (2003) and Jersey Girl (2004)
In all fairness, Jennifer isn’t in ‘Jersey Girl’ for very long. She plays Ben’s on-screen wife who sadly dies in childbirth.
Cameos for the movie include Ben’s BFF Matt Damon, Jason Lee, and Will Smith as himself!
Director Kevin Smith admits there is an extended cut of the film that includes far more Jennifer in it, but it has never been released.
Moving on to Gigli, which is considered to be, ahem, one of the worst movies of all-time.
Filmed when they were together the first time, the movie is rom-com where a mobster (Ben) falls for a con woman (Jennifer).
It grossed $7.2 million -- against a $75.6 million budget!
Jennifer’s role was meant to be played by Halle Berry originally, but she dropped out due to scheduling conflicts.
In later years, Ben admitted he didn’t regret making the movie for one pivotal reason. “I did get to meet Jennifer, the relationship with whom has been really meaningful to me in my life." - EW, 2022
