Jennifer Lopez: Tempted by the younger man in the Boy Next Door

JENNIFER Lopez enters the room clutching a frothy coffee, her famous curves poured into an all-black ensemble and her skin glowing like a woman half her age.

The 45-year-old is here to talk about her new film, The Boy Next Door, about a teacher who has an affair with her teenage neighbour. Lopez says she feels sexier than ever. The singer and actress — whose former boyfriend, dancer Casper Smart, was 18 years her junior — is glad Hollywood no longer sees it as “shocking” that older women can be attractive to younger men.

“I think it’s more realised than ever that women are at our best, and that we get better, as we get older,” says the mother-of-two, who also co-produced the film.
