Jennifer Lopez has opened up about the challenges of being taken seriously as an actress, despite decades of success in film and television. Speaking on CBS News Sunday Morning while promoting her upcoming project Kiss of the Spider Woman, the superstar revealed that skepticism about her acting abilities has been a recurring theme throughout her career.

“You just have to show them. You can’t let that discourage you,” Lopez said, noting that persistence and proof through performance have been her way of silencing doubters.

When asked by interviewer Tracy Smith, “How could you not be taken seriously?” after such an extensive career in both music and acting, Lopez responded candidly: “I don’t know.” Her remarks highlight the ongoing battle for recognition that even established stars sometimes face in Hollywood.
