Ben Affleck: J.Lo is ‘the most gorgeous woman in the world & she looks spectacular’
John Campbell Last week, Ben Affleck appeared via video linkup on the Drew Barrymore Show. Sidenote: Barrymore’s show seemed to have some growing pains, but she’s hit her stride in recent months, scoring some much-discussed interviews and creating some wonderful viral moments. She got Ben to open up about something I’ve always been curious about, which is: just how disciplined is Jennifer Lopez when it comes to diet? J.Lo has always been about clean living – she rarely drinks, she’s extremely fit, she takes good care of herself in every way. But she’s married to a guy who loves cheeseburgers and fries, you know? So that’s what Drew asked Ben, whether he has a “cheat drawer” full of forbidden snacks. Ben revealed that he does not have a cheat drawer because J.Lo eats pizza, ice cream, all of it. He also talks about what J.Lo would change about him.
On Jennifer Lopez: When Barrymore asked how the Bronx native keeps in such great shape, Affleck revealed it’s just a case of good genetics. “Let me tell you something that is going to upset you. Jennifer just eats whatever she wants. She eats pizza, cookies, ice cream … everything.” Visibly shocked, Barrymore asked, “Is it the working out?,” to which Affleck joked, “She works out but I work out too … but I don’t magically appear to be 20 years old, you know what I mean? With perfect skin and the whole thing.” Although he clarified that Lopez does have a great “work ethic” and “discipline,” he continued gushing about his “superhuman” wife. “She’s the most gorgeous woman in the world and she looks spectacular.”
What J.Lo would change about him: “She would probably want to cultivate brevity in the way I speak. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I go on and on and on. I talk in circles. She’s never said that to me, but that would be my guess.”
The last time he went skinny-dipping: “My wife and I went on a little vacation recently, we went in the pool — I don’t know if that counts as skinny dipping. It wasn’t, like, an ’80s college movie or anything.”
When Ben and J.Lo first got back together, I was worried that he would try to play it too cool and act like she was lucky to be with him again. I’m glad to see that he’s not doing that – he’s really started to talk her up and be publicly loving and demonstrative with her. Jennifer Lopez loves that. That’s her love language – a man publicly defending her and complimenting her. And she does look amazing. I really hope Ben doesn’t ruin this!
