    Hit the Stage with Jennifer Lopez in the ‘Halftime’ Trailer

    “I’ve been battling to be heard, to be seen, to be taken seriously.”

Jennifer Lopez’s on-screen glamour never dims, whether she’s playing a hardworking wedding planner, an anaconda-fighting documentarian or a relentlessly confident stripper. Lopez is always powerful and posed, more goddess than woman. In the superstar’s upcoming documentary, Halftime, premiering June 14, she flips those expectations, taking viewers behind the curtain of mega-celebrity as she juggles her 2019 Super Bowl halftime show and the awards race for Hustlers. This is your chance to meet the real-life J.Lo. The just-released Halftime trailer reveals the vulnerable person behind the fearless stripper heel strut and megawatt red carpet smiles — and she has a lot to say (as does one of her very famous love interests). 

“I’m trying to give you something with substance,” Lopez says into a phone in the trailer, paired with shots of her stunning Super Bowl performance. “Not just us out there shaking our fucking asses. I want something real!” This is precisely the kind of moment the public didn’t see in the lead-up to the seemingly smooth show.

The preview video is peppered with teases of Lopez’s behind-the-scenes bids for honesty and self-confidence as the Hustlers star dominates the stage and stripper pole. “I lived in the public eye — and I really believed a lot of what they said,” she admits, amid press accusations of “lightweight acting” and “diva” behavior. Later, Lopez adds, “My whole life, I’ve been battling to be heard, to be seen, to be taken seriously.” One person pops up in the clip to share just how shocked he was to witness life from Lopez’s perspective: Ben Affleck, J.Lo’s two-time fiancé. 

To take in all the majesty of Lopez’s tireless work as an entertainer, businesswoman and mother, watch the trailer below. Halftime debuts on Netflix Tuesday, June 14.
