A body language expert noted that Jennifer Lopez displays "misery and suffering behind a smiling façade" in her latest documentary, "The Greatest Love Story Never Told," delving into the complexities of human emotions.
In the compelling series, the "All I Have" hitmaker takes on a decisive role alongside her husband, actor Ben Affleck.
Viewers witness raw and emotional moments as the couple navigates introspective reflections, capturing JLo's vulnerable tears.
But amid the intense scenes, one may wonder if reality mirrors appearance.
Jennifer Lopez 'Craves' Sympathy?
Body language expert Judi James shares with The Mirror that Jennifer Lopez is seen with a natural look and unkempt hair, showcasing her genuine emotions in the recently unveiled special, frequently appearing visibly "terrified."
She explained to the outlet how the mom-of-two is "successful, beautiful, talented and in an idyllic marriage to the man she has always loved."
"She is also rich beyond most people's wildest dreams but the one thing she also needs, it appears in this trailer, is sympathy and pity."
In her expressive performances, the "On The Floor" singer also goes beyond mere words to convey her emotions, using her body language as a powerful tool in the spotlight.
Per Judi, the concept of being "Terrified" is vividly brought to life by JLo through her messy hair as she turns to face the camera with a look of fear.
JLo's Tears and Temptations
Viewers can also see Jennifer Lopez in the comfort of her own home on "The Greatest Story Never Told."
Judi James explained she is seen as natural and messy, as if warding off unseen forces with a trembling voice on the verge of breaking.
In fact, whenever the words "stressed" or saying how she's not good enough are uttered, the 54-year-old singer-dancer hunches over her keyboard, tears welling up and her voice quivering.
Engaging in a familiar gesture of wiping tears with splayed fingers, JLo reflects on the challenges of aging despite the "resilient" facade.
As the scene unfolds, her fear becomes palpable as she nervously gnaws on her knuckles and nails, echoing a childlike vulnerability.
Meanwhile, in mentioning Ben Affleck's role in the production, Judi remarked that the actor is portrayed as a pillar of strength in the preview, standing confidently in his "Superman" stance with a protective arm around her as she leans into him, projecting a sense of vulnerability.
"As he kisses her head you almost expect to see him raising one arm before flying off with her, cape rippling behind him."
In the documentary, JLo confessed, "What [Ben] said and what he saw in me, and what he made me believe about myself, only comes from love. Because nobody else could have made me see that about myself. It's very moving."
"Because I didn't think much about myself and so the world didn't think much of me. That lined up."
