LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Lopez's latest documentary 'The Greatest Love Story Never Told' was released on Tuesday, February 27, on Amazon’s Prime Video.

In one of the clips, her husband Ben Affleck is seen addressing her insecurities over her conceptual musical ‘This Is Me... Now: A Love Story,’ which came out on February 16 along with her new album of the same name.

"I had good intentions with this, I just don't want to suck," Lopez told Affleck. And Affleck responded, "You know you're scared."



 

Jennifer Lopez feels her Amazon musical 'sucked'

The singer-actress said she's scared "it's gonna f*****g suck a f*****g d**k."

"You'll be scared it'll suck until it doesn't, "the ‘Air’ filmmaker said, adding "You've gotta discern between things that suck DNA-wise, and things that just don't work right."

Lopez quipped that she doesn't think the "DNA" itself "sucks," and the two-time Academy Award winner said, "Well, that's all you need." "Right now it just sucks," she concludes.

"That's wrong. That's just inexperience, that you haven't done this process before," Affleck tells Lopez.

Lopez then reaches out for Ben and teases her partner saying, "I'm sorry that I'm not an award-winning director. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I wasn't doing all the things at 21 years old."

To which Affleck intervenes, “Well, if I was doing a musical concert, if I was doing a rock show, I would say to you, 'Tell me how this goes. Are you usually afraid before you perform?'"
