As she made her way through the film industry, she made many friends, but there was one co-star she didn’t feel comfortable with – Wesley Snipes. Flashback to 1995, on the set of money train, Directed by Joseph Ruben, Lopez found himself in a real dilemma.

Money train: Jennifer Lopez’ opinion on Wesley Snipes’ behavior

During the filming of Money train Jennifer Lopez was in a happy relationship with Wesley Snipes, but she seemed to think that the actress’s then-boyfriend was just a minor stumbling block in his quest for her affection (via Movieline).

In a revealing interview with Movieline in 1998, 55-year-old Lopez revealed Snipes’s relentless courting efforts were anything but charming.

Wesley, even though I had a boyfriend at the time, went all out. He flirted with me – you always flirt with your co-stars, it’s harmless – and then he got a little more serious.

Snipes didn’t just flirt in passing; he went the extra mile, inviting everyone in, but then at the end of the night, he headed straight for Lopez and tried to give her a kiss as he dropped her off. The actress further recalled:

He invited us all together and at the end of the night he put me down last and tried to kiss me. I then said, “Wesley, please, I’m not that interested in you.”

Her candid reflections portrayed Snipes as someone whose ego couldn’t handle a little rejection:

His ego was totally bruised. He didn’t speak to me for two months. I was like, ‘What an asshole.’ Actors are used to getting their way and treating women like objects. They’re so used to hearing the word ‘yes.’ Now Wesley is probably going to call me and say, ‘You bitch! How dare you? I didn’t like you.'”

Lopez’s story about working with Snipes is like a slap in the face to his reputation. While the blade The 62-year-old star may be used to swinging swords and slaying vampires on screen, but he seems to have missed the advice to behave with a little more finesse in the presence of his female co-star.

It was awful. When you start working professionally, you push the boundaries of what you should and shouldn’t do, and I didn’t think I had the right to say no, like, “No, I’m not doing that, and that’s it.” So we did it, and it was hard.

But the flirting wasn’t limited to Snipes. Woody Harrelson, another co-star, was also in on the fun, although his approach was more playful:

Woody was more playful, but if I had taken him up on it, he would have. I said, “Hey, Woody, how are you?” He would stick his tongue out at me and click it really meanly. He was really funny about it.
