Jennifer Lopez is gearing up for a powerful role in the upcoming biopic Unstoppable, where she portrays Judy Robles, a strong and determined mother who helps her son overcome immense challenges. In an interview with Variety, Lopez revealed how she resonates with her character, drawing parallels between her own life and Robles’s journey. Both women share Latina roots and are driven by a deep love for their children, with Lopez highlighting how motherhood and the challenges of relationships have shaped their strength.
Lopez emphasized the universal strength of women, noting how they often have to prove themselves from a young age, and how giving birth creates a unique form of resilience. Her portrayal in Unstoppable tells the inspiring story of Anthony Robles, a champion wrestler born with one leg who defies the odds to succeed at college level, including competing against the very school that once rejected him.
The film, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2024, is set to stream on Prime Video starting January 16, 2025. Interestingly, the movie was produced by Lopez’s ex-husband Ben Affleck, who praised her performance as “spectacular,” despite their recent divorce. Unstoppable is poised to be a testament to the strength and perseverance of both the mother and son duo, inspiring audiences with their journey.
