Tough times made Jennifer Lopez a better actress

Los Angeles: Singer Jennifer Lopez, who will be seen on the big screen in upcoming crime thriller ‘Parker’, believes the difficulties in her personal life have helped her become a better actress.
The year 2012 was tough for Lopez as she split from husband Marc Anthony after seven years of marriage. "I think I am now ready to really work as an actress. Maybe because I am different now. I have suffered some experiences lately," she told New York Post newspaper, reports femalefirst.co.uk. "These last years, I have had to face life. The truth is, that must be it. To be a great actress you must live through difficult times in order to feel it and remember that pain," she added. "Parker" director Taylor Hackford has also praised the 43-year-old star`s acting skills in the film, admitting he was knocked out by her talent. "Jennifer`s wonderful in this. I have known her. After I did a couple of drafts, I called her. The action`s set in Palm Beach, and, since Florida`s really Latin America, who`s better than Jennifer? "Her work knocked me out. There`s moments in other projects that I knew were not great. Give an actor notes, best he will give you is 25 per cent. Give Lopez notes, and she gives you 100 percent," said Hackford. IANS
