Rather than passing up on the questions, Liotta answered truthfully which made for some rare remarks.

Jennifer Lopez Was Shocked By Ray Liotta’s Answers
Being a rather blunt actor, Ray Liotta had always found himself talking about other celebrities and what he thought of them. Starring alongside Jennifer Lopez in the 2016 drama series titled Shades of Blue, it was during the promotional interview when Liotta let his blunt side out.
In an interview with Andy Cohen in Watch What Happens Live, Cohen made Liotta and Lopez play the game called “Plead the Fifth”. Ray Liotta chose to be honest and brutal rather than let the question fall on Jennifer Lopez and during that time, he had to reveal some blunt opinions. When asked by Cohen who Liotta thought was an overrated actor in the 80s and the 90s, the actor had a very clear name in mind.
“Pbbbt, Clint Eastwood probably. I don’t give a sh*t!”
Never admitting the reason for holding a grudge, the game continued as Jennifer Lopez tried to digest the blunt truths that Ray Liotta was dropping. Being a person of mixed heritage, Lopez revealed that she had to fight hard in Hollywood to gain their trust.
Jennifer Lopez Was Typecast Only In Roles With An Accent!
With Jennifer Lopez’s mother and father being of American and Puerto Rican descent, it was hard for Lopez to find Hollywood movies where she can portray any character. According to the actress, she was typecast into roles that required an accent!
“At first I think I only got parts where I had an accent. And then it gradually changed because I stood my ground. I just wanted to play ‘a girl’, you know, I didn’t even want to know what her last name or her first name was.”
After sticking to her guns, Lopez started gaining fame and attention from the world as she started getting better and better roles. The actress is currently married to Ben Affleck and has been nominated for 1 Primetime Emmy award to date. The actress is currently attached to 4 upcoming projects in various stages of development.
