Ben Affleck Calls Jennifer Lopez ‘Brilliant’ For This Reason
Even though he’s been a staple in the entertainment and celebrity worlds for quite some time himself, Ben says that it was Jennifer who helped him understand culture and style. The 50-year-old actor needed a little bit of guidance while directing and starring in his new film about Nike called “Air.”
After all, Jennifer is one of the most influential women in the world when it comes to style and fashion, as she looks her absolute best whenever she is out and about.
Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter in a new interview, Ben had this to say about Jennifer, “Oh my God, she’s brilliant. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the way fashion evolves through the culture as a confluence of music, sports, entertainment and dance.
Lopez helped me in talking about the way in which a part of the reason why Jordans were so meaningful is because culture and style in America is 90 percent driven by Black culture.”

What’s Next For Ben Affleck And Jennifer Lopez?
Ben went on to say, “Black culture has historically pioneered music, dance, fashion, and it’s then been stolen, appropriated, remarketed as Elvis or whatever. And in this case, [Nike], a white-run corporate entity, was starting to do business with African American athletes in an identity affiliation sales thing.
They were really taking value from what Michael Jordan represents and who he is. I don’t think the meaning can be overstated.”
Along with Ben Affleck, “Air” stars Matt Damon, Viola Davis, Jason Bateman, Chris Messina and Marlon Wayans and is set to hit cinemas in April. We will update you with all of the latest details as they come in.
