Jennifer Lopez breaks Latina stereotypes in 'Unstoppable' and talks career milestones.

Jennifer Lopez opens up about breaking Latina stereotypes in Hollywood and her powerful role in 'Unstoppable'.

Jennifer Lopez has always been a trailblazer in Hollywood, fighting against Latina stereotypes to land groundbreaking roles. 

In a recent interview on Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast, Lopez shared how she broke molds early in her career. She recalled, “Why can’t I just play a romantic lead? Why can’t I be the girl next door?” This conviction helped her redefine roles for Latina actresses and shift Hollywood’s perception of Latina talent.

Lopez’s latest role in Unstoppable is another testament to her ability to take on complex characters. She portrays Judy Robles, the mother of wrestler Anthony Robles, who defied the odds with one leg. Lopez identifies with Judy’s love, sacrifice, and the universal theme of resilience. "This is an American story," Lopez explained. "It’s about family, overcoming challenges, and finding strength in love."

In addition to her role in Unstoppable, Lopez is gearing up for the challenging Kiss of the Spider Woman, where she will play multiple roles. These projects highlight her dedication to telling powerful stories that inspire and unite, making her an influential force in both Hollywood and beyond.

Through her work, Lopez continues to break barriers, prove her range as an actress, and advocate for more inclusive representation in Hollywood.
