Luis Guzmán, the veteran actor known for his roles in Carlito's Way, Anger Management, and the Netflix hit series Wednesday, recently shared a rather terse opinion regarding his former co-star, Jennifer Lopez. The two actors shared the screen in the 1998 film Out of Sight, a crime caper directed by Steven Soderbergh, where Lopez played a U.S. Marshal and Guzmán portrayed a criminal named "Chino".
During an appearance on the Hot Ones Versus show, Guzmán was asked by his Wednesday co-stars to describe some of the biggest legends in Hollywood he had worked with using only one word. When asked about Adam Sandler, Guzmán responded with "amazing". He described Catherine Zeta-Jones, his Wednesday co-star, as "bellísima". However, when Jennifer Lopez's name was mentioned, Guzmán simply said, "OK".
Guzmán's succinct response sparked a range of reactions. His Wednesday co-stars, Jenna Ortega, Emma Myers, and Joy Sunday, seemed surprised by his answer. Social media users also chimed in, with many interpreting his "OK" as a subtle shade towards Lopez. Some praised Guzmán's honesty and unfiltered opinion, while others found the response discourteous. One user commented that the "OK" reflected the thoughts of many celebrities and ordinary people.
Out of Sight is a well-regarded film that has become a cult classic over the years. In the movie, Lopez plays Karen Sisco, a U.S. Marshal who develops a connection with a bank robber, Jack Foley, played by George Clooney. Guzmán plays Jose "Chino" Chirino, a criminal character. Despite the film's critical acclaim and the chemistry between Lopez and Clooney, it appears Guzmán's experience working with Lopez wasn't particularly memorable.
While Guzmán's "OK" might seem like a slight, it's important to note that he didn't elaborate further on his answer. It's possible that his response was simply a reflection of a professional relationship that didn't extend beyond the set. Regardless, the single word has ignited a social media buzz, proving that even a brief comment can spark a conversation about celebrity relationships and perceptions.
