Hustlers star Jennifer Lopez jokes about the movie's surprise cameo
Note: This article contains a spoiler for Hustlers.
In addition to rave reviews and a potentially Oscar-worthy performance from Jennifer Lopez, Lorene Scafaria's stripper-based crime drama Hustlers also boasts a high-profile cameo.
That surprise star comes in the shape of singer-songwriter Usher, whose song 'Love In This Club' also features in the film.
And according to Lopez and her co-star Constance Wu, the artist seemed to be well and truly at home in a strip club environment.
"I think in all the movies that I've done, it was probably one of the best times I've ever had," Lopez told Entertainment Weekly. "When Usher walked into the club, it was actually like we were strippers."
"Wnd we were so psyched, and when you and him were flirting it was just like this magic," Wu added.
"He was a good sport about it. And obviously he felt very comfortable in the strip club – I don't know, maybe yes, maybe no – I'm just taking a wild guess. He seemed very comfortable," Lopez laughed, with Wu adding in agreement: "He seemed very at home."
Elsewhere, Scafaria recently rubbished reports of a feud between Lopez and Wu following rumours that the latter demanded top billing in the film.
Speaking to BuzzFeed News, the director said that the rumours were an "insult" to her set because she 'doesn't run things like that'.
Clarifying that there were absolutely no issues on set, she added: "Jennifer and Constance really did have that chemistry and that relationship right away. It's kind of hard to fake that, to be honest."
Hustlers is in cinemas now.
