On August 29, 2019, Jennifer Lopez posted a new Instagram photo in character as Ramona from her upcoming film, 'Hustlers'.
According to the post, J.Lo's character is 'practically drowning in dollar bills' on stage, showcasing her toned physique.
As reported by Variety, J.Lo opened up about her anxieties on playing an exotic dancer, citing her concerns about wearing a G-string on camera.
"I was terrified. I felt exposed. I was like, ‘I’ve never done anything like this. I’m going to be up there in f—ing dental floss. What is this? Who is this person?’ And then you get up there, and you have to have a ‘f— you,’ empowered attitude," she shared with the magazine.
Despite her insecurities, J.Lo prepared for the role by working out and eating right, with the support of her fiancé, Alex Rodriguez.
They pushed through a 10-day carb-free and sugar-free diet challenge, as well as a 10-day workout challenge, and are always working out together.
Additionally, A.Rod was there to cheer J.Lo on during her pole dancing rehearsals, which doubled as a sweat sesh and acting prep.
'Hustlers' premieres in movie theaters nationwide on September 13, 2019.
