Jennifer Lopez's The Greatest Love Story Never Told detailed how she made her film, This Is Me… Now: A Love Story, and it almost featured several famous artists.

One of the producers named Ariana Grande as one of the celebrities linked to the movie, but she did not make it in.

A producer told Lopez the "7 Rings" singer was unavailable, and Grande's current preparation before the release of her new album might have played a massive role in her decision.

Aquaman star Jason Momoa was also tapped to join Lopez and her team. However, he has also been busy over the past few weeks after marking his official directorial debut in a Guinness ad.

"I've wanted to direct for Guinness for 12 years now," Momoa said in a statement. "They have, in my opinion, the best commercials in the world. It was fun pitching this idea to them, they loved it; and now, it's turned into a dream job."

Khloé Kardashian was also set to make a cameo in Lopez's movie but did not make the cut.

"The casting director and the other producers came in and they were like, 'How about this person? This person's not available.' And they started saying all these people," Lopez told EW.

She added, "If you see me sitting there, that's not what I want. What I want is people who represent a certain thing, who could understand what I'm trying to do here. And that's what it took, because they needed to trust me, and at the end of the day. I think it was a big leap of faith for some of them."
