Jennifer Lopez fought for her Hustlers stripping sequence to be in the movie, arguing that it was “important to show”.
“Initially my big strip routine was not in the movie, but I thought it was important to show,” Lopez told The Sun.
Fiona Apple, whose single “Criminal” soundtracks Lopez’s stripping scene, said in September that she would have “[given] my song to Jennifer Lopez to dance to for free, any day, any time”.
Lopez confessed that she found shooting the scene scary, but ultimately satisfying.
