Ryan Guzman, known for his role in ‘9-1-1,’ recently reminisced about his experience filming the 2015 thriller ‘The Boy Next Door’ alongside Jennifer Lopez. In a candid revelation, Guzman shared that Lopez played a pivotal role in kickstarting his Instagram presence. According to People, the actor disclosed that his very first Instagram post was orchestrated by Lopez herself. Guzman recounted how, during a press tour for the film, Lopez was astonished to discover he didn’t have an Instagram account. ‘I think I just had a Facebook or something, and she had asked me what’s my Instagram handle or whatnot, and I just kind of had a blank face,’ Guzman recalled. ‘She goes, ‘You know what? No, I’ll set it up for you.’ She did, and my very first post is because of her,’ he added. Guzman expressed his amazement at the fact that Lopez, a global icon, was the one to introduce him to the platform. ‘It’s such a crazy thing to now think about that Jennifer Lopez is the one that started my Instagram,’ he said. The actor also reflected on the 10th anniversary of ‘The Boy Next Door,’ expressing disbelief at how quickly time has passed. ‘I didn’t know it was the 10 … it is 10 years since that movie? Where has time gone?’ he remarked. In the film, Guzman portrayed a 19-year-old with a troubled past who becomes neighbors with Lopez’s character, a mother navigating marital challenges. The project remains a memorable milestone in Guzman’s career, not only for its cinematic impact but also for marking his social media debut.
