Hollywood star
Jennifer Lopez says she has a soft spot for romantic comedies and that is why she has done a number of films in the genre, including her upcoming movie '
Marry Me
'.
Between 2000 and 2010, the singer-actor has starred in popular rom-coms such as 'The Wedding Planner', 'Maid in Manhattan', 'Shall We Dance?', 'Monster-in-Law' and 'The Back-up Plan'.
"Yes, I do (have a special place in my heart for rom-coms). That's why I've done so many of these throughout my career," Lopez said in response to a question asked by PTI during the virtual press conference.
As a movie-goer, the pop icon said, she loves romantic comedies, especially the ones starring
Meg Ryan and
Julia Roberts.
"They are some of my favorite movies of all time whether it is 'When Harry Met Sally' or 'Prelude to a Kiss', any of these kinds of movies of Meg Ryan era, Julia Roberts, all of those movies are what I grew up on in a way. I love them so much," she added.
The last rom-com film Lopez did was 2018's 'Second Act'.
The 52-year-old actor, who has also produced 'Marry Me', said working on the project was like a "homecoming" of sorts because she hadn't done a rom-com in a few years.
"This year, I'll have two coming out, 'Marry Me' and then 'Shotgun Wedding' will be out at some point which I did with
Josh Duhamel. I'm excited to be able to do a couple (of them)," she added.
