Jennifer Lopez was completely stunned by an interviewer who made an unpleasant comment about her age, and her reaction went viral on social media.
The interview, which took place last Sunday (15), was hosted by Clayton Davis, editor of Variety magazine. The 55-year-old actress was promoting her new movie, Unstoppable, when Davis made an inappropriate comment about her age.
In the video shared by TMZ, Davis begins by saying: “I can’t believe it’s already been 30 years since Selena,” he said, referring to her role in the 1997 biographical film Selena about the iconic Mexican-American singer Selena Quintanilla-Pérez.
“I can’t believe in 30 years we’ll do a retrospective on this, and you’ll be 60 by then, which is…” he continued, while Lopez responded with: “Wow.” Davis added that the actress was “getting up there in age,” which even shocked the audience.
In the clip, you can see Lopez slowly shaking her head, while someone in the crowd asks, “Did he just say that?” The actress then addressed the comment, while Davis clarified that it was a “joke.”
The star did not seem offended, as she turned to the crowd and said that she wanted to thank them for being with her for a “long time.” “What a journey it’s been, and honestly, I feel like the best is yet to come,” Lopez added.
