J.Lo Documentary Reveals All the Celebs Who Turned Down Cameos in Her New Movie
Jennifer Lopez dropped a documentary about her new visual film This Is Me Now: A Love Story, and it's an extremely candid look about the making of the project—including what it was like to book all those celebrity cameos. But while the movie has appearances from a lot of A-listers, apparently some major names people passed.
In one scene, casting director Nancy Nayor tells J.Lo "we sent out all the offers last night to everybody and we're waiting to hear back from a few people. Like Jane Fonda." A voice off-camera then adds "Taylor Swift is a no," as a producer says "Jason Momoa is not available, Jennifer Coolidge not available, Lizzo not available."
Someone then asks J.Lo if she wants "Vanessa Hudgens, by the way," and J.Lo responds "for what?" before another person notes "she's not available." At another point, J.Lo says "It'd be good to get Bad Bunny to do a little cameo as the bad kid," and she's told that "Ariana Grande's uavailable she's in London until September."
J.Lo's reaction to her famous friends who were busy? Keeping it chill and saying "I don't wanna force anybody to do this who doesn't go 'This is going to be fun'... Nobody wants to say no to me, Benny, I get that. But when an actor doesn't like a script, or doesn't think it's good enough, or is worried about it, that's what they'll say. I know that. I've done it."
Oh, and in response to telling her choreographer Sienna Lallau that Khloé Kardashian was supposed to make a cameo which didn't happen, J.Lo said "People scared, scared to put themselves out there. I get it. Took me a long time. I'm scared."
FWIW, This Is Me...Now: A Love Story ended up having a ton of cameos, including the likes of Jane Fonda (she came through!), Derek Hough, Trevor Jackson, Fat Joe, Jennifer Lewis, Post Malone, Trevor Noah, Keke Palmer, Sofia Vergara, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Kim Petras—among others!
