A behind the scenes look at Jennifer Lopezs box office smash Hustlers shows the painful lengths the actress went to in order to nail the role of a stripper.

From bruises over her knees to falling off the pole, the Oscar hopeful shared the hidden secrets of how she mastered the pole ahead of filming.

In the video, Jennifer reveals that she began practising four months before production kicked off in New York City and that she also used yoga for stretching.

The film, which came out in UK cinemas on Friday 13 September, is about a group of strippers in New York City who take their destiny into their own hands and head down a criminal path to make more money from their punters after the stock market crash sees their Wall Street customers stopping spending the big bucks.

Based on a true story, the film also stars Constance Wu, Riverdales Lili Reinhart and Cardi B.

However, Jennifer, Constance and director Lorene Scafaria have all been forced to unequivocally deny rumours of tension between the two film stars.

Murmurs of a feud erupted when there was an apparent dispute between the two actors after Constance reportedly asked to be paid top billing over Jennifer.

Though there is no proof to such claims, the rumour mill circles on and Lorene said she felt personally insulted by the implication that there was conflict on her set.
