Jennifer Lopez & Will Smith Almost Starred in 'A Star Is Born!'

Jennifer Lopez and Will Smith almost took on the lead roles in the A Star Is Born remake instead of Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga!

The 49-year-old “El Anillo” singer opened up about the story during a new interview with Extra.

“Will and I talked about it, talked about developing the script,” Jennifer said. “It just never… projects are like that.”

“I’m really proud of Bradley, one, for directing his first film,” she added. “We’re friends, and watching Gaga do her thing in the movie, it’s just great. It’s perfect. It happened. Just like this movie. Everything happens in its own divine timing.”
