Jennifer Lopez<\/a> is getting real and vulnerable with her <\/span>new album, This Is Me… Now,<\/em><\/a> and the accompanying musical cinematic experience.<\/span><\/p>\n Lopez walked the red carpet at the premiere of <\/span>This Is Me… Now: A Love Story<\/em><\/a> at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood on Tuesday, where she spoke with ET’s Kevin Frazier about the emotional story that unfolds in <\/span>the unique cinematic project.<\/a><\/p>\n “The album that I made was very honest, about kind of wanting to capture this moment in time of reconnecting with a love,” said Lopez, who’s project tells a fictionalized version of her rekindled romance and marriage to <\/span>Ben Affleck<\/a>. “It seems like a fairytale, but it really wasn’t. And so I really wanted to tell that part of the story — the real story, in a way, but not my autobiographical story.”<\/span><\/p>\n According to Lopez, she and director\/co-writer\u00a0Dave Meyers “come up with the idea of telling the story of a hopeless romantic who kind of is going through her life’s journey in her search for love, and what it means and what it’s about.”<\/span><\/p>\n Lopez showed <\/span>This Is Me… Now: A Love Story<\/span><\/em> to her 15-year-old twins — daughter Emme and son Max, who she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony — and explained to them how the project explores a version of real events that blend truth and fictional narrative.<\/span><\/p>\n “I was talking to my kids about this, and then they’re like, ‘Which parts are real and which parts are not?’ And I said, ‘You will think some parts are real, that are not. And then some parts you don’t think are real, <\/span>are<\/span><\/em> real,'” Lopez recalled. “But it is inspired by a lot of the things I went through and it’s really about what it has been for me to be a hopeless romantic my whole life, and some of the pitfalls of that.”<\/span><\/p>\n For Lopez, it was “kind of exciting and terrifying to explore all of it” in such a public and open space. “But for the first time, I felt really compelled to do something that wasn’t about anything except wanting to do something, like art for art’s sake, and that’s why I did it myself,” she added.<\/span><\/p>\n Lopez walked the carpet on Tuesday with her handsome husband, and the pair smoldered for cameras as they stood side-by-side.<\/span><\/p>\n Recently, Lopez and Affleck <\/span>shared scenes together in a viral Super Bowl commercial for Dunkin’ <\/a>in which the Oscar-winning actor tries to impress Lopez with some boyband dance moves — <\/span>alongside a slew of his famous friends<\/a>, including Matt Damon, Tom Brady, Jack Harlow, Charli D’Amelio and Fat Joe.<\/span><\/p>\n According to Lopez, the project was shaped largely by her husband — including the A-list cameos.<\/span><\/p>\n “That’s the genius that is Ben Affleck,” Lopez marveled. “It has nothing to do with me. Whatever he asks me to do, I’m like, ‘Yeah, Ok, sure, I’ll be there.'”<\/span><\/p>\n “We have some amazing outtakes from that whole entire shoot,” she added. “We had so much fun with Matt, Tom everybody! I had all the guys who helped make my album, they were in the studio. It was all very real and authentic in a way, but a lot of fun.”<\/span><\/p>\n
