“I’m really excited to see what it is. The funny thing is I don’t know too much about it because they were very secretive about how they did it. I only know about my parts of what it is, but I don’t know about all of it. I too am waiting to see what it’s going to be.”

Noah added that it was fun working with so many Hollywood stars to celebrate an icon, adding that Lopez “really just blazed her own trail.This Is Me… Now: A Love Story is coming to Prime Video on 16th February 2024.
