Anthony Robles breaks silence on Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck's attention to his story

Anthoy Robles has expressed his gratitude towards Jennifer Lopes, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.

Unstoppable starring Lopez and produced by Affleck and Damon, is based on Robles' 2013 memoir.

In an interview with PEOPLE magazine, Robles praised the cast and crew of the movie for their attention to his story.

Robles, the wrestling champion born with one leg, said, "Ben and Matt, they made it a point to include my family through everything."

He went on to say that "I stand by what we showed in that film," adding, "It was cool just to see how fired up [Affleck] was about the whole process."

Robles also shared that his family members were "grateful for how much care and attention that everyone showed, beginning with Billy, all the way to Jharell and Jennifer. They cared about our input, our insight, and just our concerns."

"It's one thing for them to be excited about telling our story, but they really just cared about us as people," he added.

Additionally, Robles also recalled the time when the cast and crew spend time with his family during the filming, saying, "To see Jennifer and my mom just spending hours talking, and Jennifer really opening up to her and sharing things about her life — they bonded."

"Same thing with Jharrel and I. It was really more of an organic friendship that we were just able to build together, separately, to trust and to open up about those things," he added.

Moreover, Robles also shared a special message for the Unstoppable viewers, saying, "I want everyone to relate to the fact that we all wrestle with a challenge. It can be a physical challenge, it could be mental, it can be relationships. There's always going to be an opponent in your life that you face. It doesn't matter what background you have, everyone understands that."
