Luis Guzmán did not sugarcoat his feelings about Jennifer Lopez when her name came up during a new interview. The 68-year-old actor sat with his Wednesday castmates for a “Hot Ones Versus” video published Tuesday, August 26, where he was asked to describe former co-stars in just one word. According to Parade, Emma Myers, 23, kicked things off by showing photos of Guzmán with Dwayne Johnson, Adam Sandler and Mark Wahlberg.
She then threw Lopez into the mix. Guzmán paused, gave a shrug, and delivered a flat response: “OK.” His castmates immediately broke into gasps and laughter at the unexpected shade.
