The film - about an affair that turns into an obsession - will probably land in second place after Paddington.

On Thursday J-Lo appeared on late night talk show Watch What Happens Live. Host Andy Cohen asked the pop star and Idol judge what her favourite ‘type of man’ looks like.

‘I’m not a looks person, I don’t know if you’ve noticed that over the years,’ she giggled. ‘I go more for essence, strength and the laughter.

‘It’s the manliness and sexiness,’ the star continued, noting that despite ‘what other people have said’ she thinks of all her former flames as ‘gorgeous’.

‘They were all gorgeous to me,’ said the Wedding Planner actress who was wearing a dress that was slashed to the waist – exposing ample cleavage.

‘I’m going to do my best not to share at your chest,’ Cohen told her.

‘Well I don’t get to wear it very often, I thought I can only wear this with Andy,’ she said.

‘Are you ever worried that they might come out?’ he asked her.

‘No, no, no, I wouldn’t wear it if I thought that that might be an issue,’ she replied confidently.

Her young co-star Ryan Guzman, 27, was also in Cohen’s studio – standing awkwardly by ‘the bar’. He was asked about his sex scenes with Lopez for the film.

‘She’s so gorgeous and beautiful and everyone knows that... I was very nervous and intimidated,’ he stuttered. ‘She was actually the one who had to calm me down.’

Cohen had romantic hopes for Lopez and Guzman: ‘When I saw you walk into the Grammy’s I hadn’t seen the movie yet and I thought "I pray to god J.Lo is banging this guy,"’ he laughed.

Lopez is also a judge on American Idol. Her book True Love is on The New York Times bestseller list.
