Ben Affleck on Jennifer Lopez
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Ben Affleck opened up about how his flamboyant wife Jennifer Lopez helped him get into the movie. Affleck said his wife helped him talk about one of the reasons why Jordan is so meaningful is that style and culture in America is mostly driven by black culture. Ben Affleck said, “She’s incredibly knowledgeable about the way fashion evolves through culture as a meeting place for music, sports, entertainment and dance.”
The AIR representative also said that the historical fashion, dance and music of black culture have been copied, stolen and remarketed for years. At this time, Nike, which was a white-owned entity, was about to begin working with African-American athletes regarding identity affiliation.
Finally Affleck said Nike has taken the value of what Michael Jordan stands for and who he is. This meaning cannot be overstated.
