Brett Goldstein Filmed A Rom-Com With JLo. Why He Says It Was ‘A Nightmare’

by

Brett Goldstein has become accustomed to attention. He first gained recognition for his Emmy-winning role as Roy Kent on Ted Lasso, and his popularity grew with his comedy show Shrinking. Now, all eyes are on him as he prepares to star alongside Jennifer Lopez in the new romantic comedy Office Romance. They filmed scenes in New Jersey earlier this year, and the movie is already generating buzz. Goldstein is now sharing details about the filming process, describing it as surprisingly difficult.

British actor Goldsein recently spoke with USA Today about his upcoming 2025 film, *All Of You*. He discussed how his fame has increased alongside the success of his work. While he’s accustomed to working with well-known actors like Harrison Ford, Jason Sudeikis, and Jason Segel, he said the attention he received while filming with Jennifer Lopez was unlike anything he’d experienced before. He described the experience as…

The filming was a mixed experience. While the core concept was great, the outdoor shoot was a disaster due to constant interference from paparazzi. It was truly a nightmare.

Goldstein is really talking about working with someone who brings a huge crowd to a film set – not necessarily Jennifer Lopez as an actress. Having lots of photographers and fans around during filming can be really disruptive and distracting for the actors. It makes sense, because there were a lot of photos shared online back in March of Goldstein and Lopez filming *Office Romance*.

You know, even though dealing with all the paparazzi on set was a real pain, I’d actually be up for working with Jennifer Lopez again. Seriously, I’d jump at the chance! But, and this is a funny thing she joked about, any future movie we did together would have to be made under *very* specific circumstances – basically, no press allowed!

I decided that if I worked with Lopez on another movie, we’d shoot everything inside – no outdoor scenes at all.

It’s not just Jennifer Lopez’s films that attract a lot of attention on set; many movies filmed on location deal with paparazzi and curious fans. Recently, *The Devil Wears Prada 2*, scheduled for release in 2026, experienced this while filming in Manhattan. Although some costume details were revealed in photos, the film’s writer believes the viral images are actually building excitement for the movie. Chris Evans also shared a negative experience with photographers on the set of *Materialists* in New York City.

It’s fantastic that so many movies are filming in real locations, as it really improves the quality of the production. However, as Brett Goldstein pointed out, it can be really difficult for actors, particularly big stars. I’m excited to see what Goldstein and Jennifer Lopez create in their new film. And if they collaborate again, hopefully Goldstein will get his wish for all the filming to take place outdoors.

You’ll need a Netflix subscription to watch the upcoming movie *Office Romance*, starring Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein, when it’s released in 2026. To find out about other new movies coming to Netflix, check their schedule of upcoming releases.
