A Guide to All the Cameos in Jennifer Lopez’s Star-Studded This Is Me…Now: A Love Story

5 minute read

Jennifer Lopez's rekindled romance with Ben Affleck may have been the inspiration for her new film, This Is Me...Now: A Love Story, but the pair are hardly the only A-listers taking up screen time in the ambitious project, which is just one component of the three-part release that includes the movie, an album of the same name, and a behind-the-scenes documentary.

The film, which released on Prime Video on Feb. 16, was directed by acclaimed music video director Dave Meyers. It plays like a grandiose fever dream of a love story that pokes sly fun at J. Lo's own romantic history, which has made for consistent tabloid fodder over her nearly four-decade career. Centering on the love-obsessed character Alida, The Artist (played, of course, by Lopez), the fantastical epic includes a steampunk heart factory and a rain dance finale. But its most impressive offering may be its cast, an ensemble so wide-ranging it ends up boasting the star power of a Hollywood awards show or a Garry Marshall film. Longtime industry heavy hitters like Jane Fonda and Jenifer Lewis appear alongside Post Malone and the astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson as part of over a dozen very prominent celebrity cameos that pop up throughout the nearly hour-long feature.

Here are all the celebrity cameos to keep an eye out for in This Is Me...Now.
