Brett Goldstein, known for his Emmy-winning role as Roy Kent in “Ted Lasso” and the success of his comedy series “Shrinking,” is set to share the screen with Jennifer Lopez in the upcoming romantic comedy “Office Romance.” Filming has wrapped, and the film is generating buzz as Goldstein reminisces about the challenging aspects of the production. Despite his experience with acclaimed actors like Harrison Ford and Jason Sudeikis, the attention drawn by Lopez presented unique challenges on set.
During an interview with USA Today, Goldstein described the production experience as a “nightmare,” particularly due to the overwhelming presence of paparazzi and fans during outdoor shoots. This heightened attention created a chaotic environment, disrupting the production’s workflow. Goldstein clarified that his frustrations were not directed at Lopez but rather toward the intense media scrutiny and fan attention that her presence attracted.
Goldstein humorously suggested that if he and Lopez collaborate again, they should opt for exclusively indoor scenes to avoid the external chaos. Such a move would ensure more control over the filming environment, minimizing disruptions.
This challenge is not unique to Lopez’s projects; many high-profile films encounter similar hurdles. For instance, “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” currently filming in Manhattan, also grapples with significant public and paparazzi interest. Such attention, while challenging, also serves to boost anticipation for these films.
Despite the difficulties, the collaboration between Goldstein and Lopez in “Office Romance” is eagerly anticipated. Their chemistry and performances could offer the audience a memorable cinematic experience. The film is expected to premiere on Netflix in 2026, and viewers are encouraged to check the streaming platform’s schedule for more exciting upcoming releases.
