On Sunday, the actor was interviewed by Variety amid the release of her new movie Unstoppable. According to footage obtained by TMZ (which we can't share here for rights reasons, boo, I know), the interviewer said, "I can't believe it's been 30 years since Selena."

Speaking to a future retrospective on the 55-year-old's career, the interviewer continued, "You'll be 60 by then. Getting up there." As some gasped and laughed in the audience, Jennifer replied, "Wow. I am."

“It’s funny when you say that I’m ‘getting up there,'" J.Lo continued. The interviewer then interjected that it was a "joke," to which J.Lo brushed away that there was any offense taken.

"I want to say thank you, you guys. We've been doing this a long time together. The whole time you guys have been here with me and today I was singing some new songs," she said, turning to the crowd.

"What a journey this has been. I honestly feel that the best is yet to come," J.Lo continued. "I also feel that [Unstoppable] was a new level for me of going deeper into who I am as a person, as an artist."

“These types of roles change you in a way when you allow them to, because they come to you at times in your life when you need them. They help you grow and they heal you in a way. If you can let yourself be vulnerable and real enough to show your flaws and to really expose yourself in a way as an artist, that is a gift that you always want," she added. "Love is what matters. You're not alone."
