While filming her latest rom-com, Marry Me<\/em>, Jennifer Lopez<\/strong> admitted that it wasn’t hard for her to tap into her character since she went through something similar in real life<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the flick, the Hollywood starlet plays a superstar who finds out that her fianc\u00e9 is cheating on her \u2014 right before they are supposed to get married on television. So, she decides to tie the knot with a random concertgoer (Owen Wilson<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

“It was so much about it that, really, I could understand like nobody else could understand,” she explained. “Kind of bearing my soul. It was actually a little bit more uncomfortable than playing a character that is nothing like you, because this is you kinda like really bringing real, personal life experience into a role in a way that I\u2019ve never had to<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

“There were a lot of similarities \u2014 obviously she is an entertainer, in the public eye a long time, personal struggles, public career ups and downs, I know all of those things,” she said. “I didn’t have to do any research. Why I say it was cathartic was because I had to do something I have never done, which is to let out of the feelings that no one ever gets to see. As I am doing it, there is a part of me that was guarded, very guarded. I don’t put this out there, I don’t let people know that if I see something on TV, it hurts, I am good, I am OK. I am going to go out there<\/a>, sing this song, I had a bad day, it doesn’t matter. This is my life. I am a professional. I try to be.”<\/p>\n

Lopez, who is the Queen of rom-coms<\/a>, is thrilled for people to see her back on the big screen.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/em>I would say it\u2019s a true romance story, which I love,\u201d the “Marry Me” crooner, who is currently dating Ben Affleck<\/strong><\/a>, revealed. \u201c<\/em>It\u2019s the first time I\u2019ve done music and film together since\u00a0Selena<\/em>. Actually, it\u2019s the first time I\u2019ve ever really sang in the movie and did my own whole album for the movie, separate from a Jennifer Lopez\/JLo album.\u201d<\/p>\n
