In that conversation, Affleck noted thatGigli’s commercial failures helped him realize he wanted to direct films himself and that he met Lopez while making the movie.
“Jennifer and I happened to be together at a time where the whole industry of celebrity journalism, if you want to call it that, sort of exploded,” he added. “But I thought, ‘S—, this is really not how I had hoped to go, where I’m going to be, what? Famous for being an assh— or a failure and not able to work?’ "
