As for Kardashian and others turning down roles for the film, she admitted that many don’t like to put themselves out there, even someone in perhaps the most photographed family in the world: The Kardashians.

‘People are scared to put themselves out there. I get it. It took me a long time. I’m scared. But I don’t act like I’m scared — that’s the secret to my whole f***ing career,’ Lopez admitted.

If Khloe would have taken a role in the film, it would have been her first acting role in nearly a decade, though all of her roles have been Khloe playing herself.

She guest starred as herself in a 2011 episode of NBC’s short-lived Law & Order: Los Angeles, a 2013 episode of BET’s Real Husbands of Hollywood and a 2014 episode of USA Network’s Royal Pains.

She also appeared in a 2014 short film Hpnotiq Sparkle and the 2019 mini-series For SKIMS for her sister Kim Kardashian’s shapewear line.

Lopez also revealed she put in $20 million of her own money to finance not only the album This Is Me… Now, but the film This Is Me… Now: A Love Story and finally the documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told.

Both the album and the musical companion film will be released on February 16, with the documentary arrives February 27.

Lopez recorded the album in a home theater, inviting musicians to her home and showing them the love letters Affleck wrote her, which he dubbed, ‘The Greatest Love Story Never Told.’

Lopez’s longtime producing partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas recalled when she JLo told her she was spending $20 million of her reported $400 million net worth on the project.

‘I’m in New York, and she’s saying, “I think I’m going to finance this myself.” I was like, “Wait, what?”‘ Goldsmith-Thomas recalls.

‘”I don’t even know what it is. What are you doing?” I was worried. “Why are you sharing your story? It’s too personal. Stop it.” It made me uncomfortable for her,’ she admitted.

Goldsmith-Thomas admitted she never became fully comfortable with the project, adding she was, ‘petrified the whole time,’ but now she understands it.

‘I was afraid that she was telling her journey and that it would look like it was saying, “Here’s my journey from Ben to Ben.” And it’s not about that. It’s about “Here’s what I’ve been through for the past 20 years, and I kept walking into the same wall and blaming the wall until I started to look at myself,”‘ Goldsmith-Thomas said.
