Luis Guzman has never been one to sugarcoat his words, and his latest appearance on Hot Ones proves just that. The veteran actor, known for his tough yet comedic roles, did not hold back when asked about his experience working with Jennifer Lopez.
The two shared the screen in the 1998 crime thriller Out of Sight, where Guzman played Chino opposite Lopez’s Karen Sisco. When the interviewer brought up his former costar, the actor gave a simple but telling response. With a shrug, he muttered a blunt “OK,” making it clear he had little enthusiasm for the topic.
That one-word answer sent shockwaves across Hollywood fans. Many interpreted it as a subtle roast aimed at Jennifer Lopez, who has long divided audiences with her acting. For Guzman, however, the brief reply spoke volumes without the need for further explanation.
At 68, the actor has seen it all in Hollywood, and his candidness in the interview only solidified his reputation as someone unafraid to speak the truth. Fans were quick to react online, with some praising him for his honesty while others speculated about possible tension during filming.
Jennifer Lopez, now 56, has had a storied career as both a pop superstar and a Hollywood actress. While she has often been praised for her stage presence and musical talent, her acting performances have received mixed reviews over the years. Guzman’s lukewarm comment seems to fall in line with those divided opinions.
But Lopez was not the only star to face his unfiltered opinions. When asked about Gwyneth Paltrow, Guzman laughed and confessed, “I swear to God, I don’t remember anything she was in.” The jab quickly went viral as fans shared the clip across social media.
Not every celebrity got roasted, though. Guzman lit up when talking about Adam Sandler, calling him “amazing,” and Catherine Zeta-Jones, whom he described as “bellísima.” His admiration for these actors highlighted the genuine warmth he has for those he truly respects in the industry.
Perhaps his most heartfelt moment came when his Wednesday costar Emma Myers mentioned Jenna Ortega. Guzman could not hide his affection for the rising star, calling her a “prodigy” and mouthing “Love you” during the segment. His praise for Ortega stood in sharp contrast to his cooler responses about others.

He also threw in some candid thoughts about Cameron Diaz, calling her a “lucky model,” while adding that she was “in a different realm” from Salma Hayek. His comparison once again sparked conversations online, as fans debated the accuracy of his remark.
Winona Ryder was also brought up, and Guzman did not shy away from admitting he was “not a fan.” This statement, though brief, reminded audiences that Guzman has never felt pressured to follow the Hollywood playbook of endless compliments.
The interview showcased a side of Guzman that fans rarely get to see. Instead of rehearsed answers and polite anecdotes, he gave raw, unscripted opinions that set the internet buzzing. Some called his words refreshing, while others thought they bordered on controversial.
Still, this level of honesty is what makes Luis Guzman stand out in a sea of carefully curated Hollywood interviews. His no-nonsense personality mirrors the kind of roles he has taken on throughout his career, often portraying real, gritty characters who cut straight to the point.
As for Jennifer Lopez, she has yet to respond to his comments, but her fans quickly jumped to her defense online. Others, however, admitted that Guzman’s remark might reflect what many insiders already think about her work in film.
Whether you agree with him or not, one thing is clear: Luis Guzman has just reminded everyone that Hollywood is not always about glitz and glamour. Sometimes, the truth comes out in just one word—and it can cause more headlines than a thousand rehearsed compliments.
