Jennifer Lopez avoided talking directly about estranged husband Ben Affleck while reacting to his latest compliment for her.Affleck, 52, said in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight that Lopez, 55, “is spectacular” in their new movie “Unstoppable.”While attending the “Unstoppable” UK premiere on Tuesday, Lopez was told about the comment by an ET reporter, who asked her how she’d “describe his producing.”In response, the “Dance Again” singer showed love to the entire cast and crew of the film, rather than just her estranged husband.

“I would describe all of the cast and everybody behind the scenes as spectacular and wonderful,” she said.Affleck similarly praised the entire “Unstoppable” team during his own ET interview days before the UK premiere, which he did not attend.“‘Unstoppable’ is a very different movie than this, but in a way, it’s similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists,” he said while promoting his new flick “Small Things Like These,” adding, “It speaks to a certain kind of thing I guess we’re drawn to.We really believe in the power of storytelling when the people involved in it are deeply connected to the story.”“We believed in the right people, and Unstoppable is another example of that.”“Unstoppable” tells the true story of wrestler Anthony Robles, who was born with one leg and defied expectations to win a national collegiate wrestling championship in 2011.Lopez plays Robles’ mother. The rest of the cast includes Jharrel Jerome (as Robles), Bobby Cannavale, Don Cheadle and Michael Peña.Affleck and his best friend Matt Damon produced “Unstoppable” via their production company, Artists Equity.The director, William Goldenberg, gave insight into Affleck and Lopez’s dynamic making the movie after their breakup at Toronto International Film Festival in September.
