Jennifer Lopez and Felicity Huffman | Actors on Actors - Full Conversation

Jennifer Lopez and Felicity Huffman found a maternal common ground during their conversation for the fourth season of Variety and PBS’ “Actors on Actors” series. The two actresses, who are starring in “Shades of Blue” and “American Crime,” respectively, struggle with juggling motherhood and work - something they say many men don’t experience.
“They asked working moms, they said ‘What percentage of you guys feel guilty about working outside the home?’ And it was 98%. And they said, ‘Even part-time moms, what percentage?’ And it was again like 98%,” Huffman said. “And then they asked working dads, both full-time and part-time. And guess what percentage of working dads feel guilty about their kids?”
“Was it zero?” Lopez asked.
“Goose egg! That’s exactly right; not at all. It’s just so different!” Huffman replied.
“You know when it was over for them,” Lopez added.

I feel as if Jennifer Lopez can continue to act throughout her entire lifetime. I hope to see her in movies through her elder years too. I get sad when I don't see great actors continue to act in movies through their elder years. Meryl Streep is that type of great actor, having the ability to continue acting through her elder years. Jennifer Lopez can do it too. She's that talented.

[@FantasyPNTM]

Felicity Huffman in American Crime is truly a revelation. She makes the show.

[@saint18ruben]

gracias a tu comentario voy a ver la serie

[@beulahboi]

I disliked her character so much I had to stop watching it. She just BECAME that awful woman it was amazing. She is amazing.

[@tq4142]

Jennifer is underatted as an actress.

[@TheRockstarnumber1]

Yeah man Anaconda was amazing(!) I'm just kidding mate. You're rite she's not a bad actress at all. I just think she's still waiting for her defining role in acting. I don't think this new show is it. It's a good show though. I just don't think it''s the role that will make everyone talk about her.

[@joeyharmonymusic]

No she isn’t

[@Nazaba09]

TheRockstarnumber1 she had her defining role. It’s called ‘selena’.

[@timetraveltravez8803]

She's not the only one. But she's definitely an awesome actress.

[@user-hs8zo2pb5o]

Jlo is a wonderful woman, she is my inspiration I have never seen someone like her!

[@carterbarlow8160]

Absolutely loved this. Jennifer and Felicity seem like an unlikely pair but that was such an interesting conversation, and there's a lot of warmth as well so you can tell that they both really like each other.

[@givannybronx]

i just love the naturally and the chemestry that both great actress have in this interview :)

[@DanielAraya5]

I didn´t like Jennifer doing so many rom-coms in recent years cause I´ve seen her early acting in other movies and she was gooood, not a lot of room for good acting and substance with rom-coms, so I must say I am so happy with her acting in Shades of Blue, that´s the actress I´d been missing for a long time, the show is addicting.

[@samwalters9712]

Did JLo ask Felicity a single question?! Good thing Felicity is the best and could make something out of nothing.

[@voyance4elle]

Yaaas 👏👏 Thank you for writing that comment I was searching for it..

[@SakennaM]

Too short! Love both these ladies :)

[@mickeymora654]

I would love to see Jennifer lopez get better and more serious movie rolls I love both these ladies

[@Ll_jfdk]

Felicity Huffman is hands down one of the best actresses I've seen yet!

[@manantial773]

It seems that Lopez really didn't know that 95% of her characters are completely unidimensional. Huffman deserves much more.

[@gwentaylor2396]

Gorgeous jlo famous actress and awesome interview

[@hyloitsme]

My absolute dream would be to have Felicity teach me some acting advice! She is so wise and is genuinely a master of her trade, you tell how much she cares about acting rather than just the fame that comes with it 🌤💛🐝

[@Execprod5]

I feel Felicity was the interviewer. Wanted to hear more from her. Jennifer is great too, but there are other duos who have gone back and forth rather than, in my opinion, question and answer.

[@misscissy23]

Jennifer Lopez is amazing, bye. Also, for anyone complaining she didn't ask many questions, go see the other interviews, it's the same. Kerry Washington made all the questions, and Aziz Ansar usually only asked "and you?", much like Jennifer here. It's more like one actor interviewing the other/leading the conversation than both of them being the interviewer/interviewed at the same time.

[@henrikechers9995]

Jamie Lee Curtis also asked Gaga more. In both onterviews the chemistry was great

[@felicitous2324]

For the easier pairings (like they are already friends), it's more a conversation. Like Oprah and Thandie or Michelle and Sarah Jessica.

[@isabellacurtis3975]

lovely both

[@INREDNINGSV]

I loved JLo in The cell great movie and so scary:)

[@quashimaisaac4090]

Yes it was. I was scared to sleep. Even Anaconda was scary

[@gustavolvr2368]

This was basically Felicity Huffman interviewing Jennifer Lopez. lol I doubt she watchted felicitys show. I'm a huge Jennifer Lopez fan but truth is that Jen didn't do her home work

[@demeter8008]

JLo is too self-absorbed. She didn't do her homework and had no intelligent questions for Felicity.

[@demeter8008]

TheGabrielmugue Still she showed lack of professionalism and respect

[@azaefe]

are they supposed to watch? anyway I know J-Lo is a super busy worker and I liked the "interview"

[@isabellacurtis3975]

indeed

[@Execprod5]

Exactly!

[@meg27mm]

Jlo evidently didn’t watch any of Felicity’s work and steered clear of asking any specific questions. Also rambled on lots on what she’s done, she thinks, she feels as opposed to asking what Felicity has to say about things. 🤨

[@kslucki]

Felicity is polite with great manners. She looks beautiful as a brunette.

[@estevesds12]

Great actresses!! I love their work. JLo was so nice and funny as usual

[@AntonioNeto-mo8yv]

Felicity is amazing in everything she does. I still don't watch her show, but I plan on starting soon. Jennifer's show is solid, not great, but she's great in it. People who think she can't act should give it a watch.

[@curtwall7089]

jennifer lopez is a talented actress and singer :)

[@reecemarshall7322]

I kind of felt as though Jennifer took control of the conversation for the majority of the interview. It would have been nice to hear more from Felicity as she's such an incredible talent. Although Jennifer is not the best of actresses, she can't deny that she's a multi-talented individual.

[@jdwm516]

JLO missed the memo about talking to each other lol

[@Elfangel85]

Felicity looks so beautiful with dark hair.

[@kj1227icecap]

Their personalities are SO different. It was such an odd pairing. JLo is so used to being interviewed and being the one asked the questions. She is also more energetic and opinionated. Felicity is quieter and doesn't seem to be able to hold it down like JLo. Felicity got more comfortable toward the end. Her true voice came flying out with all of that cursing.

[@WayraSandoval]

Dont you need some body - jennifer looez ft enrrique iglesias & red one & shaggy

[@kristinpondexter1835]

this was too funny

[@MrRandomTuber]

I notice that Felicity doesn't name the writer/creator of Desperate Housewives as someone she's proud to have worked with. Don't blame her, that show was written terribly and it was only saved by the actors half the time.

[@sinemguclukol1932]

Bullshit.

[@manantial773]

Bullshit, she didn´t name him, because there were a lot writers on DH. Felicity is very proud of DH, you can see that in her facebook page.

[@iBradFilms]

Season one was incredibly well written by an ensemble of writers but they were so "desperate" to keep the record numbers of viewers that the storylines became crazier and more ridiculous. You guys gotta understand, Desperate Housewives was HUGE in 2004/05. It was the number one show in America. They really wanted to keep that and just ended up ruining it in the long run.

[@narixxio]

The amount of snobs in the comments section, they both great actresses get off your high horses.

[@Kueytwo]

Free hulu TV shows in the UK please. Bring in the Shondaland.

[@BlueBoyJocks]

It's hard to watch when a caliber actor is placed with a elementary "actor"

[@mandifadsa]

+Jose Rios quality not quantity. I don't know that Jennifer could have carried the weight of a socially conscious film like Transamerica.

[@reecemarshall7322]

Jose Rios - What a ridiculous comment. She also has more songs than many singers, however is no where near as talented as many singers. Although she's a decent actor, Felicity Huffman is in a different league.

[@reecemarshall7322]

Felicity's awards and reviews completely back up my statement. Rhianna is a gigantic international superstar. Rihanna cannot sing. Fame doesn't mean talent. (I do however believe Jennifer Lopez is exceptionally talented considering her ability to pretty much do everything)

[@lolavelmar2996]

BBJ TX You should watch El Cantante, maybe there you'll see that lopez has good acting skills, I'm very convinced that this woman will shock all of us as an actor in soon future with a really great and challenger character

[@brainsareus]

Latina Girl 18 From this Latino; what the hell has quantity, got to do with quality?! Bobera...

[@ask4theupgrade359]

Rather than questioning each other on their show - as two season/older actresses that have paid their dues, this interview is more about commenting on their career’s: 1) working on network tv 2) as working Moms 3) diversity 4) both are from the Bronx, started out as dancers and were driven at a young age 👍🏼 This is what they had in comment and funny seeing Felicity Huffman giving Jennifer Lopez some tough Bronx girl accent back - lol

[@ritadepeeves]

the problem i have here is that Felicity is a great character actress, wheras Jennifer is a singer "who also acts" - they cant relate when their performances and talent are not on par with one another

[@just_me8663]

Technically Jennifer is a dancer who became an actress who became a singer who became a producer who became a mark

[@chrismendez5811]

I love American Crime! Felicity did play a very manipulative woman in season 2, but she was also dealing with the prejudices of her school's community and administrators. Something that she ultimately had to take the fall for. I wonder how they'll top season 2. I wish that the show had received more wins for season1, and I hope that it will receive some for season 2. Those wins are much deserved, given the show's powerful performances and overall impact, which it has made through emotional and tense scenes throughout.

[@boyerkidjie]

I'm an aspiring actor and I respect JLo however I have been hooked and moved by American Crime. Felicity Huffman has gained my attention and I want to hear her process and story. Sometimes these interviews lean more towards one person. Other times these celebrities get it perfect on balancing questions answers. The fact that this interview was all JLo was disappointing. As a POC I already knew JLo's story prior to this video.Where is part 2?

[@mcwarhol17]

I think this is a mismatch JLO should have been with Lady Gaga or Jennifer Hudson but both characters are different Jlo is a superstar and Felicity is a bonafide actor two different lanes but equally talented

[@HughEDillon]

This was difficult to watch as Jlo completely took over and added no depth.

Say what you will, but her resume is her resume. ;)

[@aydanr3523]

The usage of the word yellow from Felicity is questionable.

[@alanaveira9723]

I agree who are yellow people. I am surprised by her she strikes me as being s bit more sensible.

[@reecemarshall7322]

White people are often considered yellow. Nothing here is questionable unless you are intentionally looking to be offended. Felicity is extremely intelligent, intelligent people tend to be less prejudice.

[@alanaveira9723]

I have never heard of white people being referred as yellow people. I live in a country that is predominantly white. I have heard the term used as a racial slur for Asian people.

[@latishawilliams4537]

siddharth nagar I thought it was "enough"

[@GilbertGTV]

Am I the only one who cringed a little bit that Felicity started talking about herself right after Jennifer Lopez started talking about Selena? I almost feel like Jennifer Lopez did not ask her the question so Felicity just started answering for herself. It was a little bit awkward. I don’t think Felicity had a choice though, in order to make the interview more equalized and fair, she had to just start talking about her self. I don’t envy having to be in a position like that ha ha. I wonder if Jennifer Lopez even knows who she is.

[@elohimraj7093]

@Variety While well intentioned, I must say this pairing is insensitive. A huge proponent of conversations between a diverse set, I can see how the meeting of two dissimilar minds could yield some unexpected genius. This coupling, however, was anything but; a forgone conclusion that I am confident someone could have come to before the First AD said "roll camera". Simply looking at the body of acting work these two, albeit equally impressive women, have put out, would have hinted at how strained, clumsy and inhibited this dialogue would be. There seemed to be such careful considerations in previous pairings (Courtney B. Vance and Tracee Ellis Ross, Emilia Clarke and Jay Duplass, Tom Hiddleston and Aaron Paul, to name a few) that I hope you'll steer clear from another embarrassing misfire.

[@Xeroxattnp]

Luv these women but they are so off about men if you wrk a lot you miss your kids and feel guilty I think it’s not only women if you love your children and are away you will feel it period...

[@damonchampion823]

What show are they talking about when she describes a woman walking naked with 💩 thrown at her?

[@j2174]

I really do not believe that 0% of working men don't regret not being able to be at home or spending more time with their children. Also, its a different burden. Men have an innate feeling to provide for their spouse and children, as well as offering security, both physically and monetarily ("the modern day hunt"). Men's state of mind is different.

[@gottalovetheinternet]

Sorry VF, but this pairing is ludicrous. You can tell how uncomfortable both women are with their pairing. Very off, what a shame.

JLo is so self-absorbt!! 🙈 I can't stand it. It's not classy to show zero interest in the other actress, to not ask her any interesting questions... She does it all the time in this format. Felicity is such an amazing actress and so intelligent, I would have loved a better conversation partner for her with the same level of skill and intellect. Sorry.

[@Jacks_here]

Jennifer talks too much.

[@timetraveltravez8803]

It's her interview, idiot.

those cracky hair on a top. too much oil on the legs. too much oil on the face. the face is noticeably darker than the legs. purple top looks off. she came to shoot another "music" video. and Huffman is just sit there and like - yeah yeah, talk to me about your act
