Never play Rose and Thorn<\/a> with J.Lo, because you will lose. Didn\u2019t know you could win or lose that game? Well, you can. Jennifer Lopez told CBS Sunday Morning<\/a> that divorcing Ben Affleck<\/a> was \u201cthe best thing\u201d to ever happen to her. \u201cI realized that the joy is in living, and really embracing life and everything that it brings to you. For the lessons that it brings, and then for all the triumphs that it brings. The hard times are the lessons, and you have to understand that,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd once you do, everything just becomes a little bit lighter and you can really fly. And I I feel like if that hadn\u2019t happened, I wouldn\u2019t understand that.\u201d<\/p>\n Lopez said filming Kiss of the Spider Woman<\/a> was a balm in that turbulent time: \u201cEvery moment on set and every moment I was doing this role, I was so happy. And then back home, it was not great.\u201d But she also is still very thankful to Affleck for his company, Artists Equity, for financing the movie. \u201cThe movie wouldn\u2019t have been made if it wasn\u2019t for him and Artist Equity,\u201d she said. \u201cI told him this was the role I was born to play and I wanted to do it and he was like, \u2018Okay,\u2019 and he helped make it happen.\u201d Lopez said she would always give Affleck credit for that. Maybe if she thanks him for it during her Oscars acceptance speech<\/a>, they can call it squarsies.<\/p>\n Related<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Never play Rose and Thorn with J.Lo, because you will lose.
