Jennifer Lopez Talks About Her Back-Up Plan

Jennifer Lopez Talks About Her Back-Up Plan

Jennifer Lopez opens up to ET about her new movie The Back-Up Plan after a three-year hiatus from the big screen. The 39-year-old mother of twins will play Zoe, a pet store owner who gets tired of waiting for Mr. Right and gets artificial insemination, only to meet Stan, (Alex O’Loughlin) a man with real possibilities, the same day. Here’s what Jennifer opened up about:

On getting back on set: “The few days before I got really nervous I was like, what if I forgot how to act?!”

On balancing work with motherhood: “I bring the babies to work with me. I love it. Honestly, one of the best days of my life was the first day back working on this film. I wanted to do this film really badly and bringing my babies with me that first morning, I was like, ‘Oh my God, they’re with me, I’m making a movie, they’re here!’ It’s great having kids on set. It’s the best.”

On getting her body back into shape after giving birth to twins: “It did take a lot of work,” she admits. “I thought it was gonna drop off easily because I had been in shape my whole life, but it wasn’t. I gained about 50 pounds with my twins, and the first 30 dropped off like that, and I was like, ‘Ha, this is gonna be so easy.’ That last twenty pounds, that took a while.”

I dont think she is a good actress but she has style and an insane drive.. Its good to see her making movies and getting back to work.. Yes, the last 20 lbs is hard work no doubt..

# 4

Alex O’Loughlin is so cute in the video. And I love the chemistry between Jennifer and Alex

# 5

Yuck…why would she want to bring those critters…..they look like rats! LOL…that’s not right…someone please tell me what they look like, the animal escapes me.

# 6

When did she know how to act? Haven’t most of her films been total bombs.

# 7

i wonder what artificial insemination movie will come out first? lopez or aniston? and i wonder which movie is going to be more boring of the two?

# 8

# 9

you never could act, disappear please, your time has come and gone. accept that please. still trying to be relevant.

Love her! Glad to see her back. Please don’t talk so mean about babies! It;s just not right. They’re babies for goodness sake!!

She has been Number One at the BOx office. I remember when she had the number one albium and the number one film in the same weekend. First actress/singer to ever do that. I love JLo. She is a hard worke5r. What she lacks in talent she makes up for with HARD WORK. And she did wery well in that movie with George Clooney.

“I wanted to do this film really badly “… I don’t think she’ll have any problem with that - she does most films badly

Can’t wait for this .. I love Alex O’Loughlin and you people that talk mean about babies are just plain ignorant and probably jealous of Jennifer Lopez.

@Shar:

i know, forgot how to act? i didn’t know she knew how. oh wait, it was all her a**. that’s right, she even said it. wonder how much this one is gonna make. I call $2 million.

well she never really knew how to act so it’s kind of impossible she forgot!!!

so I know it’s horrible what I am about to say but since we are talking about not so looking babies, did anyone noticed alexandra abrioso baby girl is ugly….

She is nice i like Jennifer Lopez’s movies

I thought this interview was great & JLo looked wonderful. It is a big deal to come back from having TWINS & look this good & ready to get back in front of the camera. Always loved her movies. And added plus is having Alex O’Loughlin in her movie. He’s a doll & a great actor…seen some pictures from the shoot…they get along well. Can’t wait for the movie to come out in Jan 2010!

cool! I haven’t seen her movie for long.

Some people are saying that Jlo cannot act, so if that is true than she is in good company with; Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Salma Hayek, Beyonce Knwoles, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Aniston, Eva Mendes lol.

After reading many posts here, a saying come to mind… Those that can…ACT. Those that CAN’T…BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I look forward to seeing the movie because Alex is in it. He is a very talented actor and I hope he does other lead roles in movies. The rapport between the two is nice and easy. Good to see! Thanks for the update.

She can actually act (see Selena, Out of Sight and An Unfinished Life), but she chooses the worst projects.
