Ben Affleck helps Jennifer Lopez prepare for 'Atlas' role amidst divorce rumours

Ben Affleck played a crucial role in helping her prepare for her role in 'Atlas,' reading lines for her AI companion.

Jennifer Lopez's sci-fi thriller, 'Atlas,' is now streaming on Netflix, but behind the scenes, her husband, Ben Affleck, played a surprising role in helping her prepare for the role. 

Lopez's co-star, Sterling K. Brown, revealed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that Affleck would often read the lines of Smith, Lopez's AI companion in the film. Brown believes Lopez, who recently married Affleck, simply enjoyed hearing her husband's voice, which helped her deliver authentic reactions during filming.

This revelation comes amidst reports of the couple living separately and facing marital tension. Affleck's absence from the 'Atlas' premiere in Los Angeles further fueled these rumours.

When questioned about her marriage during a press event in Mexico City, Lopez curtly responded, "You know better than that." Her co-star, Simu Liu, also defended her, praising Lopez's dedication as a producer and her commitment to diversity and representation.

In 'Atlas,' Lopez plays Atlas Shepherd, a data analyst who must confront her distrust of artificial intelligence while on a mission to capture a renegade robot. The film explores themes of trust and the importance of meaningful relationships.

Despite the personal challenges, Lopez's dedication to her craft shines through in 'Atlas.' With Affleck's unexpected assistance, she delivers a compelling performance that showcases her versatility as an actress.
