Jennifer Lopez reckons its liberating playing a stripper, and after seeing her pole moves in her new film Hustlers we have to agree.
The 50-year-old actress (who still somehow looks about 25) portrays Ramona, a feisty stripper whos determined to swindle her Wall Street clients.
She revealed that she thoroughly enjoyed getting practically naked and dancing for money in front of 300 extras.
Well, each to their own.
Im used to being on stage in sexy costumes, but I have three layers of tights and fishnets and a bodysuit, she told ES magazine.
It was a brand-new feeling to come out practically naked, in front of all those men – 300 extras hooting and hollering – and dance for money.
J-Lo added: Theres something liberating and empowering about it, but youre really out there, physically, emotionally and psychologically.

The star learned pole-dancing for her role and admitted that, while she looks like a pro, it was in no way easy.
Jennifer told Fandango: Its actually really difficult to do these [moves]. It takes skill. Its not like any person can just jump up there and do this … I had a lot of bruises and things.
All we can say is… ouch.
