At the recent premiere of Unstoppable, Jennifer Lopez and Matt Damon were seen having what appeared to be a close and personal conversation. The event, which showcased J.Lo's latest film produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's production company, raised eyebrows especially with Ben Affleck notably absent from the occasion.
According to a source, Damon wasn't interested in discussing his long-time friend Ben Affleck with Lopez, despite their extended chat. The witness revealed, "Matt Damon shut down any attempt that J.Lo made to discuss Ben at the premiere." The insider continued, "It was her timing that was so awkward because she would have known that pulling Matt aside at the event to have an intimate talk was going to get picked up and go viral."
Tense exchange at the premiere
Lopez and Damon reportedly spoke for 20 minutes during the event, with a moment of hand-holding captured by onlookers. However, the source made it clear that Damon had no intention of engaging in a conversation about Affleck, even as Lopez seemingly attempted to steer the discussion in that direction.
He told her he is glad she is doing well and is thankful for her participation in the film-but he made it clear he was not there to talk about Ben at all," the insider added.
A viral moment
Despite the media frenzy surrounding the encounter, sources close to the situation emphasized that Damon remained professional and focused on the event. The viral moment came when photos of Damon bowing his head while speaking to Lopez surfaced. However, an insider was quick to dispel any misconceptions about the moment, stating that he "was not 'praying' with her" but rather trying to keep the conversation light and respectful. "He made it clear he'd always have Ben's back no matter what."
While the exchange may have appeared awkward, another source painted a different picture. According to People, Damon and Lopez are "very close," and she "enjoyed spending time" at the premiere with him. However, the situation undeniably sparked widespread interest, mainly because of Affleck's absence and the sensitive timing of their conversation.
As the premiere wrapped up, Damon's focus remained on the success of the film, avoiding any unnecessary personal drama related to his friend's relationship with Lopez.
