5 things we learned from the Jennifer Lopez Netflix documentary 'Halftime'.
Affleck is briefly interviewed for the documentary, where he is asked about the scrutiny Lopez received during the early days of their relationship.
"When I started working, the beauty ideal was very thin, blonde, tall, not a lot of curves," she says."It was hard when you think people think you're a joke. Like you're a punchline. But I wound up affecting things in a way that I never intended to affect them."Throughout the documentary, viewers are given a look at all the work that Lopez put into the movie"Hustlers," including taking pole dancing lessons.
In December 2019, Lopez received a Golden Globes nomination for the role. "It only took 20 years," Lopez jokes in a call reacting to the nomination.When reflecting on the loss, she says to the camera,"I really thought I had a chance; I felt like I let everybody down."At one point in the documentary, she is seen reading positive reviews and getting emotional about the overwhelming supportive reaction.
"The truth is I really started to think I was going to get nominated," she says in the documentary."I got my hopes up because so many people were telling me I would be. And then it didn't happen. I had to ask myself, what does that mean? I do this not for an award ... I do this to tell stories and to affect change and to connect with people and make them feel things, because I want to feel something. That's why I do it.
