‘Initially my big strip routine was not in the movie, but I thought it was important to show,’ she shared with The Sun. ‘You had to see she was the star of the club.

‘I just had to be a big girl about it. The first time in the full costume — calling it that is a stretch — was very nerve-racking. It’s the first time I really got the vulnerability, the feeling of being exposed. But I pulled my G-string up and did what I had to do as an actress. This is my job, what I signed up for.

‘I felt the empowerment and being in control of the room. There was a before and after that was drastic, from total terror to total happiness. It was hard, scary … but awesome.’

Jennifer was frustrated that movie-watchers assumed she used a double for the pole-dancing scenes.

‘When I went upside down (on the pole) I said, “Please get my face, I don’t care if I look like a bat hanging upside down, I want people to know there’s no doubles in this movie.”‘

Lopez worked alongside the Crazy Rich Asians actress throughout the film as they portrayed a tag team of dancers who conned Wall Street executives.
