Ben Affleck has expressed regret that he convinced his former fiancée Jennifer Lopez to appear in his upcoming movie, Jersey Girl, because of the negative publicity that has become attached to the movie as a result of their failed movie Gigli and the breakup of their engagement. During a press conference in New York on Friday, Affleck remarked: "Jen is only in the movie for 10 or 12 minutes and when I look back on it now I feel really bad about having gotten her involved because I said 'Come on, do it, it'll be fun, it's just a small part, we'll be together' ... And now we've got nothing but trouble for it." He added that he feels "guilty because I don't want all of this media stuff to take away from what is a really interesting movie." On the other hand, Kevin Smith, the film's director, told the Toronto Star: "I think if Gigli had been a big hit, you probably would have seen a poster that had Ben and Jen on it. And that's not really the movie because Jennifer dies in the first 15 minutes."
