Jennifer Lopez, Brett Goldstein's Office Romance

0:00On April 19th, Jennifer Lopez snagged the lead in the new rom-com office romance without even auditioning. Brett Goldstein and Ted Lasso, co-creator Joe Kelly, wrote it just for her, saying they would not make the movie otherwise. The 56-year-old star plays a strict CEO, who falls for Goldstein's lawyer character, despite her no fraternization rule. This flick drops June 5th on Netflix, directed by Old Parker, and it's got an edgier vibe than your typical J-Lo rom-com. Packed with hard-hitting, jokes, their 11-year age gap adds sparked to the on-screen chemistry, backed by a killer cast including Betty Gilpin, Edward James Olmos, and Bradley, Whitford. Fans are buzzing about the pair's real-life connection since filming wrapped. Reports said they got touchy-feeling on set, laughing non-stop, sparking hook-up rumors. Lopez called Goldstein her favorite on-screen kisser, while he long-praised her sexy hustler's role. Lopez needs a win after flops like Unstoppable, which barely made $4,000 and the kiss of the Spider-Woman, which lost big on its $30 million budget.
