Jennifer Lopez's Stunt Double Is A Man


In black, skin-tight leggings, a zip-up jacket, and braided brown hair, Jennifer Lopez and her stunt double are tricky to distinguish. Unless, that is, you look closely. For one thing, the 42-year-old actress/singer/mogul's doppelganger has an Adam's apple. Because he's a guy.

Lopez and her stunt double have been shooting the singer's new music video for "Follow the Leader" for the last few days in Acapulco, Mexico, under the direction of the mother-of-two's reported 24-year-old lover, Casper Smart. Perhaps Lopez's lookalike isn't a stunt double at all, but a comment on gender stereotypes in popular culture.

Or maybe the guy is an obsessive fan whom Lopez invited on the set for the day. Or maybe female stunt doubles are just hard to come by these days.

K Lo and her huge butt dances like a 70 year old woman, no flexibility, no timing......so she needs a double with a smaller but and some real dance moves. After all the plastic surgery and hours of makeup, why not? She is phony in every way. Maybe this way she can make love to herself to fulfill her ego. yuck.

you know, the definite way to tell people apart is to look at their dental records, dental records don't lye!

I personally don't think they look that much alike, and besides, his face is a little fatter, and his cheekbones more pronounced than hers. Oh well, I suppose camera and make-up hide a lot! Not the adams apple though!! LOL

It doesn't surprise me. They filmed the movie Silver lining Playbook with Robert Denero, Bradley Cooper. Chris Tucker and several other stars on my block for several weeks. Bradley Coopers running double looked absolutely nothing like him. He just had the build and height of Bradley cooper. I was shocked when he said he was his double. Still don't know why he needed a stunt double for running. It was a cool experience though. All the stars were cool except for one actress. At the time I didn't even know who Jennifer Lawrence was. DeNero, Cooper, Weaver (Didn't know her either, but she was very nice).

I was cut off. I meant to say the rest of the cast was nice. Just wish I had seen Julia Stiles.

That's pretty weird when you have to have a GUY stunt double for a WOMAN! UGH! You mean to say there's not ONE woman out there that looks like her? I seriously don't know how she sells her music! She can't sing, dances old school pops and locks and has to drag 10 thousand dollar machines around to "Inhance her voice" in order to pull off a concert. American Idol went into the crapper once she joined on and pretty much every movie she's made was a flop... She hawks perfume, clothes, crappy music and for some reason, Fiat wanted her to push that UGLY ASS car that NOBODY would be caught dead driving! During the commercial shoot with a stunt double driving through the hood, the cheap ass car broke down! The whole thing is an illusion and a scam.. YUK ! Nothing special there!

Did you ever consider that a stunt double is there to do stunts and isn't generally seen upclose? They cut in shots of the real actor/actress for that. Maybe thre is some physical feat that she is supposed to be doing in this video that really requires the strength of a man, not a normal woman.
