Jennifer Lopez isn’t one to hold back, and during a recent podcast appearance, the global superstar made a candid confession that immediately caught fans’ attention.
While discussing one of her favorite films from the 1990s, Lopez admitted she found nearly every major actor in the cult classic True Romance so irresistible that she “would’ve had sex with any one of them.”
The unexpected revelation came during an appearance on the Films to be Buried With podcast, hosted by her Office Romance co-star, Brett Goldstein.
Jennifer Lopez Couldn’t Stop Praising the True Romance Cast
During the conversation, Lopez enthusiastically reflected on the 1993 crime romance directed by Tony Scott and written by Quentin Tarantino.
She began by praising Christian Slater, who portrayed a record store employee obsessed with Elvis Presley, with Val Kilmer making memorable appearances as his imagined version of the music icon.
Lopez also highlighted Patricia Arquette’s unforgettable performance as Alabama Whitman, describing her as the perfect “hooker with a heart of gold.”
As she continued discussing the film, Lopez mentioned an impressive lineup of actors, including:
- Christopher Walken
- Dennis Hopper
- Brad Pitt
- James Gandolfini
- Gary Oldman
It was after listing the legendary cast that Lopez made her now-viral admission.
“I would’ve had sex with any one of them. That is the truth.”
‘They Were All So Incredibly Good’
Lopez explained that her attraction wasn’t simply about appearances.
Instead, she said she was captivated by how powerfully each actor performed their role.
She joked that her confession might reveal “the dark side” of her personality before adding that every performance in the film felt authentic, believable, and unforgettable.
According to Lopez, the cast delivered performances that elevated the movie into one of the most memorable crime dramas of the decade.
The Patricia Arquette Scene That Left a Lasting Impression
One scene in particular has stayed with Lopez over the years.
She recalled the brutal confrontation involving James Gandolfini and Patricia Arquette, noting how emotionally powerful the sequence was.
Even after Arquette’s character was left badly beaten, Lopez said the actress still carried an undeniable screen presence, praising her performance and charisma throughout the remainder of the film.
Why True Romance Remains a Cult Classic
Released in 1993, True Romance tells the story of an Elvis-loving comic book fan who falls in love with a sex worker.
After accidentally taking a suitcase filled with cocaine, the newly married couple embarks on a dangerous journey to sell it—unaware that both the mafia and law enforcement are closing in.
Over the years, the film has earned a devoted following thanks to its memorable dialogue, unforgettable characters, and star-studded ensemble cast.
Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein Team Up for Office Romance
Lopez’s comments come as she and Brett Goldstein promote their new Netflix romantic comedy, Office Romance.
In the film, Lopez stars as a powerful CEO whose strict policy against workplace relationships is unexpectedly challenged when a charismatic lawyer joins her company.
The movie blends romantic comedy with workplace dynamics, giving Lopez a more mature leading role than many of her earlier rom-coms.
Brett Goldstein Wanted a New Chapter for Jennifer Lopez
Speaking with Harper’s Bazaar earlier this year, Goldstein explained that Office Romance was designed as a fresh evolution of Lopez’s beloved romantic comedy characters.
He noted that in films such as Maid in Manhattan and The Wedding Planner, Lopez often portrayed ambitious women striving to build successful lives.
This time, however, the story asks a different question:
What happens after she’s already achieved everything?
Rather than chasing success, Lopez’s character is already at the top of the corporate world—a confident executive who loves both her career and the company she has built.
Lopez Says the Script Immediately Won Her Over
Lopez revealed that she was excited the moment she read the screenplay.
She described it as having a wholesome romantic core while still featuring sharp adult humor and plenty of witty dialogue.
According to the actress, the script perfectly reflects Goldstein’s signature writing style by balancing heartfelt emotion with clever comedy.
Goldstein Continues His Hollywood Rise
Beyond starring alongside Lopez, Brett Goldstein has become one of television’s most recognizable creative talents.
He earned widespread acclaim for playing Roy Kent in Apple TV+’s hit comedy Ted Lasso, a series on which he also served as a writer.
Goldstein later co-created the acclaimed comedy-drama Shrinking, starring Harrison Ford and Jason Segel, further cementing his reputation as one of Hollywood’s most versatile writers and performers.
Final Thoughts
Jennifer Lopez’s playful confession may have surprised listeners, but it also reflected her genuine admiration for one of Hollywood’s most celebrated ensemble casts. More than three decades after True Romance premiered, the film continues to inspire audiences—and judging by Lopez’s enthusiastic praise, it remains just as unforgettable today.
