Jennifer Lopez was not only a muse, but also someone who really helped in word and deed when Ben Affleck penned the script for the sports drama Air. He talked about it in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

On the big screens, the cliché about the conclusion in the 80s of the historic advertising contract between Nike and Michael Jordan should be released on April 5. Affleck not only directed the film, but wrote the screenplay and played one of the roles, company co-founder Phil Knight. His longtime friend and colleague Matt Damon played the lead, manager Sonny Vaccaro.

“Oh my God, she (Jennifer) is gorgeous. She knows incredibly well how fashion evolves across culture in the fusion of music, sport, entertainment and dance. She helped me explain why the Jordans were so important. Yes, because 90% of the culture and style of our country is determined by the culture of African Americans,” Affleck said.
