Jennifer Lopez is set to star in the upcoming biopic Unstoppable. Opening up about her character in the film, the actress-singer revealed that she is quite similar to Judy Roble, whose role she will be portraying in the movie. In conversation with Variety, JLo revealed that she and her character come from “the kindred spirits.” 

While sitting down for an interview with the media portal, the Marry Me star spoke about the common thread that linked her to Roble, including the native place and the motherly qualities.

The actress, ahead of making an appearance in the Palm Spring Film Festival, stated, "We both grew up Latina in this country. We both had children and have hopes and dreams for them. We both had challenging relationships, which left us holding our families together.” 

She further added, “Women are strong. We have to be. From the minute women are born, we’re always having to prove ourselves to show we’re good enough. That creates a type of strength."

The Atlas star continued to say, "And then a lot of us give birth—and there’s nothing that makes you stronger than doing that.”
