American superstar Jennifer Lopez may be known as ‘Jenny from the Block’, but she’s revealed that before she made it in showbiz, she was actually homeless.
Lopez is one of the world’s most recognised celebrities right now, having made her name in music, films, television, and in business, but now she’s opened up about her less-than-glam past - surviving on a sofa in studio.
“My mum and I butted heads. I didn't want to go to college, I wanted to try dance full-time. So she and I had a break. I started sleeping on the sofa in the dance studio. I was homeless, but I told her, 'This is what I have to do'. A few months later, I landed a job dancing in Europe. When I got back, I booked In Living Color. I became a Fly Girl and moved to LA. It all happened in a year.”
You certainly won’t be catching her sleeping on a sofa anytime soon, but if you do want to catch her, head to Hyde Park this weekend - she’ll be performing alongside Lionel Richie, Chic, and loads of other names. Check the dates and links below to find tickets through Stereoboard!
