Jennifer Lopez is a true triple threat in Hollywood. Sheโs not only a singer and actress, but sheโs also a dancer. This should make her one of the most coveted talents among celebrities. However, JLo has yet to fulfill one of her biggest dreams yet. The singer has huge aspirations of winning an Oscar, a feat she didnโt achieve during her marriage to Ben Affleck. Now, sheโs looking toward A-listers such as Brad Pitt and George Clooney in hopes that theyโll help her accomplish her goal.
With a new year just starting, Jennifer Lopez is said to be focused on her career. This means sheโs looking for new acting opportunities, and sheโs ready to kick things up a notch. However, she canโt seem to do it alone, and sheโs planning to ask Brad Pitt and George Clooney to help her in hopes of possibly landing a role in one of their next films, per Radar Online.
โItโs crucial to have the right material to get into the race with an award-worthy script, and letโs face it Brad and his company have a great track record, so heโs at the top of her schmooze list,โ a source said. โSheโs always felt a little like an outsider and is convinced that an Oscar would prove sheโs got everyoneโs respect.โ
Lopez previously worked with Clooney on the film Out of Sight. However, the duo hasnโt remained close since wrapping the 1998 movie.
Jennifer Lopez is Looking to Brad Pitt and George Clooney for Help
โJenniferโs relationship with George is complicated, primarily because they both blew up so huge after their one onscreen collaboration 26 years ago, which is still considered a classic by their fans,โ the informant stated. โBut the momentum from that project pushed both of them in different directions.
Meanwhile, she has yet to have the chance to star in a flick with Pitt. Sheโs hoping to change all of that, especially since sheโs gotten to know Brad a bit thanks to his friendship with her now ex-husband, Ben Affleck.
โBrad and Ben are friends, so Jen has spent a little time with him enough to feel comfortable reaching out and asking if he has any material she can star in,โ the insider dished.
JLo is said to be so desperate for a good role that sheโs willing to put up a ton of money on a project that she thinks could earn her an Oscar nomination and possibly a win.
โThis is pathetic,โ one person commented.
โSheโs so desperate,โ another said.
โWhy not give her a chance?โ a third comment read.
Reports suggest that Pitt and Clooney are ready to return to their Oceans 11 franchise. The films have starred several big names, such as their close pal Julia Roberts. Lopez is allegedly hoping to land a role in their upcoming movie. Of course, that could lead to more A-list connections for her.
Over the years, JLo has starred in fan-favorite films such as Hustlers, Monster-In-Law, Jersey Girl, Enough, Maid in Manhattan, Selena, Jack, The Wedding Planner, and more. However, they havenโt been enough to propel her to major movie star status or earn her any Oscar buzz. Perhaps all of that will change if she can hook up with Pitt and Clooney as well as their A-list pals for a future project.
Jennifer Lopez could be looking to reinvent herself following her divorce from Ben Affleck. Sheโs allegedly ready to move on from working with Ben and has her sights set on his famous friends instead.
