Chris Rock jokes on Jennifer Lopez remarrying Ben Affleck

During his appearance on NBC’s Saturday Night Live, Chris Rock humorously remarked that singer Jennifer Lopez is gonna marry Ben Affleck again just so she can stay in the country. While discussing Trump, Chris stated, “Trump is not playing, man. This time is different. He’s teaming up with the number one African-American in the world—the richest African-American in the world, Elon Musk. That’s right; he is African-American.”

He continued with his signature humour, poking fun at Musk’s family size and Trump’s policies, “Elon’s got more kids than the Cleveland Browns. Nobody knows how to get rid of people like a South African. He’s serious—Trump is not playing… JLo’s gonna marry Ben again just so she can stay in the country. I know she’s not Mexican, but Trump don’t know that. It’s a big old Latin stew.”

Jennifer Lopez on being Latina actor

On a related note, Jennifer Lopez recently opened up about her experience as a Latina actor in Hollywood. During a conversation on Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast, she reflected on the challenges she faced early in her career, stating, “When I started, there weren’t many roles for Latinas. I was auditioning for parts with accents and stereotypes. I kept thinking, ‘Why can’t I just play a romantic lead? Why can’t I be the girl next door?’ That belief—that conviction that I belonged—was what helped me break those molds.”

Jennifer Lopez will soon star in the biographical sports drama Unstoppable, portraying Judy Robles, the mother of NCAA wrestling champion Anthony Robles. Directed by debutant Villy Goldenberg, the film also features Jharrel Jerome in a lead role and is set to release on January 16 on Prime Video.
