Jennifer Lopez is back on the block
Ask people to describe singer-actress Jennifer Lopez and words like “sexy” come to mind. But J.Lo is just as happy if people use another s-word: “silly.”
“I’m not afraid to look silly!” Bronx-born Lopez says with a touch of pride in her voice as she talks about her new movie, the rom-com The Back-Up Plan, over the phone from New York.
Her co-star and onscreen love interest, Australian Alex O’Loughlin, agrees Lopez has no hesitation about throwing herself into comic situations. “She’s fearless,” he says.
“I’m not afraid to make a fool of myself when it comes to comedy and you have to be that way,” says Lopez, who turned 40 in July. “Some will work, some will be brilliant. Some things you’ll be like, ‘Okay that didn’t work, let’s try again.’ But you have to have that fearlessness when you’re dealing with this genre.”
In The Back-Up Plan, which opens April 23, Lopez plays Zoe, a single, Manhattan pet shop owner who decides it’s pointless to keep waiting for the elusive Mr. Right. She arranges to be artificially inseminated and plans to have her baby (actually two babies; just as in J.Lo’s real life, Zoe ends up pregnant with twins) solo. But the fates have a plan of their own and she meets hunky Stan (O’Loughlin) right after the procedure.
As Zoe, Lopez has enthusiastic sex, barfs, sits on a toilet, stuffs her face from a bubbling pot of stew (“I’ve never eaten so much on a film in my life!”) faints face-first into a wading pool during a noisy birth scene, spends a lot of time in stirrups (and not on horseback) and engages in a variety of pratfalls and double takes.
Was she inspired by the classic physical comics like Lucille Ball?
“Oh yeah. I love Lucy!” says Lopez. “I love that. To me it’s the best kind of comedy. I think when you do these types of romantic comedies, you have to be the type of comedian like the ones we’re speaking of that aren’t afraid to look silly!”
