Jennifer Lopez has expressed her pride and excitement over her latest role in the upcoming film "Unstoppable", where she portrays Judy Robles, the mother of Anthony Robles, a one-legged wrestler who overcame adversity to become an NCAA champion.
The 55-year-old actress took to Instagram on Sunday to share her feelings about the film's premiere at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival.
Lopez posted a group photo alongside the film's cast, including Judy Robles, the real-life woman she portrays.
Wearing a floor-length, reflective silver gown by designer Tamara Ralph, Lopez said the premiere was "one of the most magical nights" she has ever had with a film.
“I can’t wait for you guys to see this movie!” Lopez wrote. “This is my favorite picture from the night, and playing the role of Judy Robles, bringing her struggles and triumphs with her amazing son to life, has been one of the great honors of my career.”
Lopez compared her portrayal of Judy to her iconic role as Selena Quintanilla Pérez in the 1997 biopic "Selena". She emphasized how important this type of film is, especially in today’s world.
“These are the type of movies that the world needs right now—uplifting, emotional, inspiring, and at times difficult to watch, but so real and moving,” Lopez added.
The actress concluded by revealing the film’s release date: December 6, 2024, stating, “It is our gift to you to introduce the story of this inspiring UNSTOPPABLE family.”
"Unstoppable" is based on the real-life story of Anthony Robles, who was born with one leg and defied the odds to become a wrestling champion.
