Jennifer Lopez drops bombshell confession about her casting in 'Office Romance'

Jennifer Lopez recently reminisced about Brett Goldstein’s bold stance regarding her casting in their upcoming film Office Romance.

Lopez appeared on an episode of Sirius XM's BPM, released on April 18, where she discussed her film Office Romance, especially her casting for the role of Jackie Cruz.

She shared that Goldstein, who is also playing Daniel Blanchflower in the movie, co-wrote Cruz’s character, keeping her in the mind and was ready to call off the project if she did not agree.

"They sent me the script and they were like, 'We wrote this for you. If you don't do it, we're not even making the movie,’” the 56-year-old American singer and songwriter said, referring to another writer, Joe Kelly.

"But it was really funny and me and my partner — Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, my producing partner — really loved it," Lopez admitted.

The Kiss of the Spider Woman star, who is “glad” for doing the movie, is “really excited for people to see it."

In addition to Lopez and Ted Lasso star Goldstein, Office Romance’s cast is made up of top-notch celebrities, including Edward James Olmos, Tony Hale, Natalie Ortega, Jackie Sandler, Bradley Whitford, Amy Sedaris, Rick Hoffman, Tony Hale, and others.

According to the film’s synopsis, Jackie, President and CEO of Air Cruz, runs a tight ship in her business, including a rigid anti-fraternization policy for all her employees. When a new s**** lawyer begins working for her, that policy becomes very tested.”

It is important to note that Office Romance is set to be released on June 5, 2026, on Netflix.
