Global superstar Jennifer Lopez & breakout talent Tonatiuh star in Bill Condon’s upcoming musical film “Kiss of the Spider Woman” this October are featured in OUT mag's new issue. Fierce LGBTQ ally Lopez who performed at WorldPride DC last Spring stated, “I was there for no other reason than just to show my support & love & solidarity [during] everything that’s going on in our country right now — not just for the LGBTQ community but for the Latino community. As an artist, you show up in the ways that you can. As an artist, you show up in the ways that you can & when they asked me to do it, I was like, I will absolutely f**king be there.” About starring in “Kiss of the Spider Woman” Lopez added, “It was really a dream come true. I’ve dreamt of doing a musical for so many years. For it to be one that is a movie about love & acceptance & community, especially in this time, to me it couldn’t have been a better thing to happen.” Tonatiuh concluded, “There is no difference between me or Jennifer or Diego, who are in this film, from the people who are hardworking & are trying to provide for their families. It’s just been breaking my heart to see their agony & to see people separated from their families & I think that, especially for first-generation people like myself, it’s activating a sense of fear that we are next & so I hope that this film gives people a space for some catharsis & a little escape & a win.”
