Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Are the Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton of the 2020s
J.Lo and Ben Affleck lived out loud — just like Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton before them.
But he offers an observation, speaking to the camera, that haunts the entire enterprise: He makes the obvious point there’s a certain irony in taking “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” a title he had given to the letters the pair sent back and forth as they were reconnecting, and then, well, telling it. One could sense, in Brad Pitt and Angelina’s W magazine photoshoot debuting their coupling or in Tom Cruise’s jumping on Oprah Winfrey’s couch to declare his love for Katie Holmes, a steely-eyed understanding that what was transpiring was good for the brand. Affleck and Lopez were and remain fairly gaudy figures who live out loud, and even their breakup played out like a soap opera, with a slow drip of news about real estate and art sales making clear what the former couple was withholding.
