Ben Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez, stars as the lead in the musical Kiss of the Spider Woman, alongside Mexican actor Diego Luna — who is 10 years younger than her. Interestingly, the film’s executive producers are none other than Ben Affleck and his longtime friend Matt Damon.
The film is set in Argentina during the military regime of 1981, blending fantasy with harsh reality. Diego Luna plays Valentin, a political prisoner and resistance fighter, while J.Lo takes on the role of Ingrid, a glamorous local movie star. Ingrid’s most iconic character? A deadly “spider woman” who kills her victims with a kiss.
Jennifer embraces the role of a stunning seductress. In the teaser, she passionately kisses Diego Luna’s character — making this one of the most sensual roles of her entire film career.
The movie is based on Manuel Puig’s 1976 novel, which was also adapted into a Broadway musical in 1993 and previously filmed twice. The new adaptation is directed by Bill Condon, with the novel’s author contributing to the screenplay.
Recently, Ben Affleck opened up about his personal life following his divorce from J.Lo, revealing the type of women he’s truly drawn to.
Meanwhile, the singer-actress suffered a facial injury during rehearsal, but she revealed a plastic surgeon was able to save her appearance.
