Jennifer Lopez is 52, and she’s not shy about it. She’s even working on a documentary with Netflix about the year she turned 50. That was the year her Oscar contender “Hustlers” came out, she received CFDA’s Fashion Icon Award, and she went on tour for “It’s My Party.” And she’s been pretty busy ever since, headlining the Super Bowl halftime show with Shakira, performing at President Joe Biden’s inauguration, and making multiple movies. Those are all things women her age in the industry are told they can’t do. But Lopez has always made defying the rules work for her, and she’s not stopping now.
In her latest film, “Marry Me,” she’s doing it again. This time around, the focus is on age and the ways ageism tries to limit women and their sexuality. In the film, she plays an alter ego, Kat Valdez, a “north of 35” pop superstar who manages to look glamorous and comfortable in her own skin no matter what she’s wearing. And she does go from over-the-top Lady Gaga-esque getups to yoga pants and a sports bra. When the film opens, Kat is engaged to Maluma’s Bastian, and her continued pull toward him serves as the primary obstacle to her finding happiness with Owen Wilson’s Charlie.
