Some of the biggest names in Hollywood descend upon Lopez's music video/short film to play brief but memorable roles, including a vibrant Zodiac Council, fictionalized versions of Lopez's past husbands, and her therapist who sees her through it all.

Many of the celebrities who make cameos in This Is Me…Now have a particular connection to Lopez through her professional or personal life. Additionally, not all of these cameos are by people in the entertainment industry, with a select few from individuals in scientific and spiritual education. The many familiar faces from a variety of professions make This Is Me…Now a truly unique experience and demonstrate the gravitas Lopez has in pop culture.

Fat Joe As The Therapist

Rapper best known for Represent (1993), Jealous One's Envy (1995), and more studio albums.

The rapper Fat Joe appears throughout This Is Me…Now as Lopez's, or rather her character the Artist's therapist. He serves as a way for the Artist to express her feelings to the audience but also pushes her, sending her to a Love Addicts Anonymous meeting and at one point "firing" her. This is not Fat Joe's first cinematic outing, as he appeared in Happy Feet and Scary Movie 3. Fat Joe and Lopez have collaborated on several singles throughout their musical careers, including "Hold You Down" and "Feelin' So Good."

Jane Fonda As Sagittarius

Fonda plays the personification of Sagittarius, her real-life sign. Lopez and Fonda go back to when they co-starred in Monster-in-Law, which Fonda credits with "rebooting" her career, as a bride and the mother of the groom who will do anything to get rid of her. This Is Me…Now marks the first on-screen collaboration between the friends and co-stars in almost 20 years.

Astrophysicist and cosmologist Neil deGrasse Tyson is a respected scientist but has also made a habit of making fun cameos in various movies and TV shows, usually as himself. He is among the real scientists who appear in The Big Bang Theory and proves himself to be smarter than the main cast. In This Is Me…Now, he plays the personification of the zodiac sign Taurus. Lopez and Tyson do not have a prior professional connection, but he jumped at the offer to "put a little bit of science" into the movie (via YouTube).

However, Lopez and Palmer's more noteworthy collaboration is Hustlers — also starring Constance Wu and Julia Stiles – following a gang of strippers swindling Wall Street businessmen out of thousands of dollars. Hustlers is considered one of Lopez's best movies.

Sofía Vergara As Cancer

Sofía Vergara makes an appearance as the sign Cancer, whose persona demonstrates shades of Vergara's character Gloria in Modern Family. Since the end of the long-running sitcom, Vergara has been taking on different roles in movies and TV shows, including as the real-life queenpin Griselda Blanco in Griselda. It was great to see her add the small role of Cancer to her repertoire. Vergara and Lopez had also never collaborated professionally before This Is Me…Now.

Trevor Noah As Libra

Comedian best known for Son of Patricia (2018) and I Wish You Would (2022).

Comedian Trevor Noah plays Libra and told PEOPLE that he was sure the offer was a joke at first: "That was a random call where your phone rings, and it's Jennifer Lopez, and you're like, 'This must be a prank,' [….] And she wants you to come and do a cameo in her visual experience, and you're like, 'Whoa. I mean, I don't know what I'm doing, but OK, I'll join in.'" Noah has released several Netflix stand-up specials and hosted The Daily Show from 2015 to 2022.

Kim Petras is a rising musical star whom Lopez has shown interest in and therefore offered her the role of Virgo.

When Petras was honored with the Chartbreaker Award at the 2023 Women in Music event, tweeting “Congrats @kimpetras !!! You are the moment" (via X).

When he spoke to Variety about the wedding, Shetty also discussed his then-upcoming book 8 Rules of Love and argued that The Notebook is an "unhealthy" depiction of love. Reporter Marc Malkin muses that "Producing movies with a more realistic view of love could also be in his future." Shetty's appearance in This Is Me…Now is this coming to fruition, depicting a woman who needs to find happiness alone before marrying again.

Amal Clooney Wore Optical Illusion Jeans Cosigned by Jennifer Lopez—Fall-Ready Styles Start at $44

My list of must-try jean trends for 2026 is growing; it currently includes all the silhouettes one denim expert revealed to me as the must-watch of the year (save for baggy jeans, because I’ve been wearing those for years). That said, one style that didn’t land on said aforementioned list, but is clearly due for big, big things this year, is flare jeans. With a growing list of celebrity fans that includes Meghan Markle, Jennifer Lopez, Reese Witherspoon, Cindy Crawford, Kendrick Lamar (you know that moment), and, of course, Amal Clooney, there’s no denying the retro denim style that was popular in the early aughts is back—and bigger than ever.

The fact that Clooney wore flared jeans is noteworthy in and of itself. The human rights lawyer is known for her refined dressing approach, regularly opting for billowy trousers, trendy boho blouses, and comfy sweater dresses—all staples that read elegant and timeless. So, when I spotted her earlier this year in the laid-back blues while out to dinner with hubby George Clooney, I knew I had to write about it. Of course, the fact that she wore flare jeans, the style countless celebs have worn the last few weeks, is noteworthy, too, as it further cements the style’s ‘It’ status for 2026.
