Ben Affleck Shares Why Jennifer Lopez Movie 'Gigli' "Doesn't Sit Right" With Him

Jennifer Lopez wears a brown dress and wears her hair in an up-do as she poses on the Gigli red carpet with Ben Affleck, who wears a suit with a bright blue shirt and tie.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck met in 2002 when they both signed on to star in the movie Gigli. They became a couple soon after, and even got engaged later that year. However, the movie, which was released in 2003, was a box office disaster, reportedly grossing just $7 million against a $75 million budget.

Now, Affleck has opened up about why Gigli "doesn't sit right with him" in an interview with Deadline. Discussing why Artists Equity, the production company he founded with Matt Damon, is so important, Affleck referenced the famous flop he made with his soon-to-be ex-wife.
