Recently, at the debut of Unstoppable, Jennifer Lopez and Matt Damon were spotted in what seemed to be a private discussion. This premiere, highlighting J.Lo’s new film supported by Ben Affleck and Damon’s production company, drew attention particularly due to Affleck’s conspicuous absence.
A source indicated that Damon was not interested in chatting about his long-time friend Affleck during his conversation with Lopez. The witness mentioned, “Matt Damon quickly redirected any conversation that J.Lo tried to have about Ben at the premiere.” The insider added that it was a “bit awkward” for Lopez considering that initiating an intimate chat with him in such an environment could lead to media buzz.
The premiere tension
Damon and Lopez reportedly had a 20-minute conversation at the event, during which they were seen holding hands. Nevertheless, the source clarified that Damon was determined not to discuss Affleck, even though Lopez appeared to try pushing the topic.
He expressed happiness for her success and appreciated her role in the film, but he firmly stated he wasn’t there to talk about Ben,” the insider further explained.
Social media buzz
Even though the interaction led to considerable media attention, insiders pointed out that Damon remained professional throughout the event. The highlight was when photos surfaced of Damon bowing his head while speaking to Lopez. An insider clarified that he was not ‘praying’ with her but was simply keeping a friendly and respectful tone, stating that he would always support Ben.
Although their interaction seemed a bit uncomfortable, another source suggested that Damon and Lopez share a close friendship, with her enjoying the time spent with him at the premiere. Still, the situation attracted significant curiosity largely due to Affleck’s absence and the delicate nature of their discussion.
As the event concluded, Damon’s attention remained on celebrating the film’s success, steering clear of any personal dramas concerning Lopez and Affleck.
