Off-screen, it's evident that Lopez still embodies the inner toughness of her old-school, New York City roots. She gets wooed by the studly young neighbor and succumbs to him in a moment of passion, only for the guy to go nuts after she cuts him off. Lopez portrays Claire Peterson, an unhappy wife who's estranged from her cheating husband. Her newest movie, The Boy Next Door, is an erotic thriller in the same vein as Fatal Attraction, only with the roles reversed. Known to many for doing rom-coms, Lopez has appeared in several underrated pictures like Blood and Wine, U-Turn, The Cell, and An Unfinished Life. She’s also acted opposite the likes of Jack Nicholson, Sean Penn, Robin Williams (RIP), Jane Fonda, Al Pacino, and Robert Redford. It’s been 20 years since Lopez’s pivotal role in Mi Familia, a memorable indie turn that lead not only to her star-making biopic Selena, but also to working with acclaimed directors Francis Ford Coppola, Oliver Stone, and Steven Soderbergh, whose Out of Sight is one of the true highlights of Lopez’s film career. Her presence alone certainly made it just a little bit easier for Eva Mendes, Michelle Rodriguez, and Zoe Saldana to reach the silver screen. Simply succeeding in Hollywood, which hasn’t exactly hung a “Mi Casa Es Su Casa” sign at its studio doors for Latin talent, is substantial in itself. (Pardon the fixation, but talk about longevity-in November, Sir Mix-A-Lot told TMZ that it was J.Lo’s shapely rear that inspired him to write his megahit “Baby Got Back” way back in 1992.)īut of all her accomplishments, a long acting career is arguably the most impressive. Last June, she released her eighth studio album, A.K.A., and in September broke the Internet with the slippery wet video for “Booty,” her track with the equally curvaceous Iggy Azalea, garnering more than 80 million views as of press time.

#JENNIFER LOPEZ U TURN CLIP MOVIE#
After a career slump that started with the maligned movie Gigli (2003), Lopez came back strong in 2011 as a judge on American Idol. Regardless of how you feel about J.Lo, you can’t knock her hustle. While the world has fixated on her famous butt or on the crazy tabloid headlines, less attention has been paid to her multimillion-dollar work ethic.
What the world sometimes forgets is that what Jennifer Lopez has accomplished has been no easy feat-she just made it look that way. By now everybody knows the story about how a Fly Girl from The Bronx conquered the world, jumping from dancer to actor to singer.
