00:04Ben Affleck skips TIFF 2024 amid Jennifer Lopez tensions
00:09Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's highly anticipated film, Unstoppable, is set to premiere at the
00:152024 Toronto International Film Festival, TIFF, this September, but Affleck himself
00:22won't be walking the red carpet.
00:25According to sources close to PEOPLE, Affleck's decision to skip the event is reportedly due
00:30to tensions with Jennifer Lopez, who has a supporting role in the film and is expected
00:35to attend.
00:36The movie, produced by Artists' Equity, a company co-founded by Affleck and Damon, tells
00:42the inspiring true story of Anthony Robles, a one-legged wrestler who won an NCAA national
00:48championship in 2011.
00:51Lopez portrays Robles' mother, a role she has received early praise for, with TIFF's
00:56official website noting her terrific performance.
01:00The film's director, William Goldenberg, previously collaborated with Affleck on several projects,
01:07including Air, Gone Baby Gone, and Live by Night.
01:12Lopez's presence at TIFF follows news of her filing for divorce from Affleck, citing irreconcilable
01:17differences.
01:19Earlier this year, Lopez made headlines when she attended the Met Gala alone, with Affleck's
01:24absence attributed to a scheduling conflict as he filmed The Accountant 2 on the West
01:29Coast.
01:30While Matt Damon will represent the film at TIFF, the absence of Affleck, one of its key
01:35producers, has fueled speculation about the current state of his relationship with Lopez,
01:41adding an intriguing layer of drama to the event's premiere.
