During the presentation of her new clothing collection in Mexico, American singer and actress Jennifer López candidly revealed that speaking Spanish is a challenge for her, making it difficult for her to consider acting in Spanish-language films.
Expressing the struggle she faces with the language, López admitted, "For me, it has always been something difficult. Over the years, it has improved a little, but to act, you have to have a command of the language, and since I have to think a lot when speaking in Spanish, I wouldn't be a good actress speaking Spanish."
Despite her Puerto Rican heritage, López, speaking in fairly advanced Spanish, shared that she learned the language through conversations with her grandmother. However, she acknowledged that it remains a challenge for her.
While presenting her clothing collection in Mexico City, López discussed various topics, including her excitement about her involvement in the animated film "Home" and the positive response from her twins, who are also the children of her ex-husband, singer Marc Anthony.
Reflecting on the birth of her twins in 2008, López described it as the most wonderful moment in her life, and she cherished several days living "as if in a bubble" of happiness.
Although the media focused predominantly on fashion during the press conference, López emphasized that her clothing line represents an urban style that is both everyday and glamorous, a blend influenced by her early years in the Bronx, New York.
Discussing her fashion philosophy, López stated, "I think people want that, they do want to have things for every day, but they always want style, a style that defines yourself." She emphasized her interest in making fashion accessible, particularly to the lower middle class, bringing style and quality at an affordable price, a reflection of her own upbringing.
Having experienced life with limited means, López finds it more exciting to cater to a market that aligns with her background, focusing on making fashion accessible to those who may not have a substantial budget but still desire to dress well.
