“It’s funny when you say that I’m ‘getting up there.'”
Never ask a woman her age, a man his salary, or Jennifer Lopez how she feels about turning 60.

On Sunday, the actor was interviewed by Variety amid the release of her new movie Unstoppable. According to footage obtained by TMZ (which we can’t share here for rights reasons, boo, I know), the interviewer said, “I can’t believe it’s been 30 years since Selena.”

Selena was released in 1997.
Speaking to a future retrospective on the 55-year-old’s career, the interviewer continued, “You’ll be 60 by then. Getting up there.” As some gasped and laughed in the audience, Jennifer replied, “Wow. I am.”

Someone in the crowd can be heard off-camera saying, “Did he really just say that?”
“It’s funny when you say that I’m ‘getting up there,'” J. Lo continued. The interviewer then interjected that it was a “joke,” to which J. Lo brushed away that there was any offense taken.

“I want to say thank you, you guys. We’ve been doing this a long time together. The whole time you guys have been here with me and today I was singing some new songs,” she said, turning to the crowd.

“What a journey this has been. I honestly feel that the best is yet to come,” J. Lo continued. “I also feel that [Unstoppable] was a new level for me of going deeper into who I am as a person, as an artist.”

“These types of roles change you in a way when you allow them to, because they come to you at times in your life when you need them. They help you grow and they heal you in a way. If you can let yourself be vulnerable and real enough to show your flaws and to really expose yourself in a way as an artist, that is a gift that you always want,” she added. “Love is what matters. You’re not alone.”
