Brett Goldstein Reveals Hilarious Threat He Sent to Jennifer Lopez for ‘Office Romance’

Jennifer Lopez is making her long-awaited return with a rom-com movie, Office Romance, but getting the superstar on board was a story in itself. As it turns out, co-star and writer Brett Goldstein pulled out all the stops, even sending what he jokingly described as a "threat" to convince her to get on board. The upcoming Netflix romantic comedy pairs Goldstein opposite Jennifer Lopez. 

With the movie all set to drop on Netflix this June, the actor opened up about his bold move to land Lopez in the film.

Brett Goldstein wrote Office Romance for Jennifer Lopez

In an interview with E! News, Brett Goldstein revealed that he and Joe Kelly wrote the script during a train ride from Manchester to London. As they developed the story, they knew they wanted the best rom-com star for the lead role. Their minds quickly turned to Jennifer Lopez, and they ultimately wrote the script with her in mind. In a recent interview with Netflix, Goldstein went on to reveal that he sent the script to Lopez along with a hilarious threat in an effort to convince her to join the project.

“We came up with the rough story of it, and we sent it with a note that said, we wrote this for you. You're the top of our list, it's a list of one,” Goldstein said as he laughed. 

“There was a death threat in the email, it was like “if you don't do this, I'll k*** you,”” he joked about it.
