Jennifer Love Hewitt Reveals Enrique Iglesias’ Emotional Moment
Jennifer Love Hewitt recently shared a heart-wrenching moment involving the late singer Enrique Iglesias. The actress opened up about a touching moment she witnessed between herself and the Spanish entertainer.
A fan page on social media paid tribute to Iglesias by posting a video clip on May 31. The clip featured Hewitt discussing a lesser-known aspect of her friendship with the legendary singer, who is best known for his hit song “Hero.”
In the video, which was reposted by Aaliyah Legion on X (formerly known as Twitter), Hewitt can be seen reminiscing about her appearance in Iglesias’ music video for “Hero” from 2001. In the video, she played Iglesias’ love interest and comforted him during a scene where he breaks down in tears.
Hewitt revealed that the night they filmed the video was the same night that Aaliyah, who was a close friend of Iglesias, tragically passed away. She explained that all of Iglesias’ emotional scenes in the video were genuine tears as he was mourning the loss of his friend.
The actress shared that the cast and crew of the video all came together to pray for Aaliyah at the end of the shoot. She described the evening as intense and emotional, with Iglesias dedicating the video to the late singer.
Aaliyah’s life was cut short on August 25, 2001, at the age of 22 when the plane she was traveling on crashed in the Bahamas, taking her life along with seven others. The tragic incident left a lasting impact on Iglesias and those who knew Aaliyah.
