In Unstoppable, Lopez's character supports her son's rise to success while dealing with her own struggles. JLo added, "I wanted to really understand Judy and make sure she felt safe with me [while] sharing details of her experience.”
"When you talk to Judy's kids, including Anthony, they say, 'My mom's so positive, she's so great,' but there was a whole different story there that she was living, that you hide from your children," Lopez shared, emphasizing the lengths parents go to protect their children from their own struggles.
