Jennifer Lopez took center stage at the Toronto International Film Festival to share the emotional reason she was drawn to her new movie, “Unstoppable.” The actress plays Judy Robles, the mother of NCAA wrestling champion Anthony Robles, based on a true story. Lopez explained that the domestic violence struggle that Judy faced in the film resonated with her own experiences, motivating her to take on the role.
During a Q&A after the movie premiere, Lopez expressed how meeting Judy Robles offered her a deeper understanding of the character she was portraying. Through their conversation, Lopez realized the similarities and core values they shared, particularly as mothers. The film was produced by Lopez, her estranged husband Ben Affleck, and Matt Damon.
“Unstoppable” tells the inspiring story of Anthony Robles, a wrestler born with one leg who went on to become a champion. While Lopez did not specify, she mentioned past abusive relationships in her life, reflecting on the difference between love and mistreatment.
Surrounded by her fellow cast members, including Bobby Cannavale and Don Cheadle, Lopez radiated in a stunning gown on the red carpet. Despite Affleck’s absence, the premiere was a memorable event celebrating the powerful narrative of overcoming obstacles and the importance of family. “Unstoppable” is set to hit select theaters in December 2024, showcasing the resilience and strength of the human spirit.
