Take a minute and think about your absolute favorite romantic comedy. If you live in New Jersey, then there’s a good chance it starred either Jennifer Lopez or the late Heath Ledger.

Shane Co. recently released a report after turning to Google Trends to determine which actors are “stealing the most hearts” across the Garden State. The company pulled data from the past five years to compare the search volume for each actor across the United States.

It turns out JLo is the most popular actress while Ledger is the most popular actor in New Jersey. Plus, Lopez was also revealed as the most popular in the state overall.

Lopez and Ledger have countless titles to their names which have brought in billions of dollars to the box office over the years. Romantic Comedies such as Monster-In-Law, The Wedding Planner, and 10 Things I Hate About You are just a few that you’ll always go back and watch again.

Neither actor is from nor lives here in New Jersey, however, it’s totally understandable as to why their names top the list thanks to their swoon-worthy features.

• Thank you

  Watching 10 Things I Hate About You everyone say thank you Heath Ledger for the best rom com in existence

• Maybe?

  The first graffiti I see when I get into New Jersey is “JENNIFER LOPEZ NEVER GET OLD”. Maybe I’ve been too harsh on this state

• Impressive

  Jane Fonda in this movie…impressive is an understatement.
  
  I always loved this movie but rewatching it made it appreciate romcoms and jlo more as an actress.

• Billion.

  — JLo is the female artist with highest movie gross as lead actress. ($1.398,7 billion total with 22 movies). And in general, Jennifer Lopez in all her acting roles exceeded 3 billion at the box office. https://t.co/JeK5Tafh9C
