Jennifer Lopez is that one Hollywood royalty who has mastered the art of acting, singing, dancing, and producing over nearly 37 years in the industry. In the 2019 edition of Variety’s Actors on Actors, she was paired with Robert Pattinson for an insightful discussion on acting. The actress-singer opened up about her technique for “breaking away from her movie roles” by taking a shower. Now, as the old clip has resurfaced on social media, the debate over her acting chops has picked up again.

Talking about her 2019 conversation with Pattinson, Jennifer said, “I feel like some younger actors, they feel the need to stay in it all the time. As I have done movies for many years now, I can’t wait at the end of the day to let it go.”

Jennifer Lopez Candidly Talked About Her ‘Shower Technique’

The Anaconda star then revealed her “shower ritual,” which she uses to shed the baggage of a movie role she carried home from the film set. She added, “Go home and wash, like literally get in the shower and wash it.”

To this, the Twilight star added that he feels actors mainly resort to method acting when they have to play extremely villainous or intense characters. He replied, “So, I always say this: you only see people doing method acting when they have to play a*******.” Lopez burst into laughter, and she appreciated her co-guest’s sense of humor.

However, as the clip surfaced again on social media, it divided social media. While some appreciated the banter between Lopez and Pattinson, with many praising Lopez, some users questioned the On the Floor hitmaker’s credibility as an actress. Some even argued that she is a better singer than an actress, while others harshly criticized her, saying she wasn’t good at either.

One of the social media users said, “They did him dirty by bringing her in as a peer for this.” An X user said, “She is a terrible actress. I would have washed it off too.”

Another X chimed in, “She needs to wash that stench of bad acting.” A social media user said, “She literally just plays herself in every role.” While another X user commented, “She is not an actress.”

A social media user mocked The Wedding Planner actress by asking, “She calls herself an actress?” while another added, “Playing in a lot of movies does not make Jennifer an actress. Likewise, her singing is bad too.”

However, some Jennifer Lopez fans were quick to come to her support. One of the fans wrote, “Jennifer’s approach sounds much healthier. Do your job, then leave the character at work.”

Another fan commented, “Mind you, she is a fantastic actress. And this was during a time when people thought she would get an Oscar nomination.” An X user pushed back against a Robert Pattinson fan who expressed disappointment about the actor appearing on the segment with Jennifer Lopez.

Defending the Maid in Manhattan actress, the user commented, “Lopez is phenomenal in Out of Sight. Be humble, it was not too long ago when people used to call Robert Pattinson one of the worst actors of the 21st century.”
