In regards to her character, Lopez stated to PEOPLE, “We are so different because she’s like … doesn’t wear any of her emotions. She’s so closed off and I am too much emotion sometimes.”

“But at the same time we are both very strong and sure of what they feel,” the actress-musician continued. “At times. She was very sure. She was like, ‘This is what’s happening, please listen to me. Please tell me,’ and felt very misunderstood at times. I can also relate to that a bit.”
