Betty Gilpin says Jennifer Lopez is "most beautiful person I've ever seen up close"

Washington [US], June 6 (ANI): Jennifer Lopez’s striking screen presence has drawn high praise from her ‘Office Romance’ co-star Betty Gilpin, who describes the Hollywood star’s appearance and charisma as “so much crazier” when seen up close, calling her “the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen up close.”

Speaking about the new Netflix rom-com ‘Office Romance’, Gilpin shared candid and glowing observations about working alongside Lopez, who leads the Ol Parker-directed film.

“Well, speaking of up close, she’s the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen up close,” Gilpin said, adding, “It’s crazy. It’s so much much crazier than you could ever imagine. She’s an alien on this earth, aesthetically,” in an interview with People magazine.

Gilpin also spoke about the experience of sharing screen space with Lopez in the film, which is currently streaming on Netflix following its release on Friday, June 5.

In ‘Office Romance’, Lopez plays a CEO at an airline company, while Gilpin’s character works alongside her in a corporate setting where a rising lawyer, played by co-writer Brett Goldstein, becomes romantically involved with Lopez’s character.

Reflecting on Lopez’s performance, Gilpin also highlighted her comedic instincts and versatility in the romantic comedy genre.

“She is the rom-com queen,” Gilpin said, adding, “Because I think within that otherworldly, beautiful shell, she’s a brilliant actress and she also has that essential rom-com quality, which is being willing to really make fun of yourself and be a clown… It’s a joy to watch.”

Gilpin further noted the on-screen chemistry between Lopez and Brett Goldstein, saying it was evident from the beginning of filming.

The Grammy-winning performer’s connection with Goldstein “was really there from day one,” Gilpin recalled.

“They have that thing on screen that you can’t manufacture… That’s always a dice roll because you never know until you’re filming if that’s going to be present,” she said, as quoted by People magazine.

She also added that working with Lopez made the set dynamic uniquely engaging.

“But, she adds with a laugh, ‘it’s hard not to have chemistry with Jennifer. I felt like we had really good friend chemistry. She’s just that kind of actor. She’s just so available and playful and brilliant and sexy and loves what she does,'” she said.

Gilpin concluded by noting the professional energy Lopez brings to the set, saying the cast and crew must “bring their A-game when she’s around.”

‘Office Romance’, co-written by Brett Goldstein and Joe Kelly and directed by Ol Parker, also features Tony Hale, Amy Sedaris, and Edward James Olmos. (ANI)
