Jennifer Lopez uses male stunt double

By Alexandra Heilbron on March 15, 2012 | 29 Comments


Jennifer Lopez, 42, has just filmed a new music video using a stunt double who looks amazingly like the diva, despite being a man. The video, for her new single “Follow The Leader,” was filmed in Acapulco last weekend. The two were dressed identically in black leggings and tight black jackets. They also sported hair with side braids, although it appears the double, who wasn’t named, was wearing a wig. Jennifer’s 24-year-old boytoy, Casper Smart, whom she hired to direct the video, was also spotted getting cozy with Lopez on the set and feeding her donuts in between takes.

    Is it just me, or does Jennifer seem pathetic. I mean, when you have to find a job for your lover, who’s young enough to be your son, you’ve really sunk to new lows.

    Don’t forget the $10000-a-week allowance she gives her boytoy, but that’s besides the point. Was her boytoy responsible for choosing a MAN to double for his girlfriend? … because that’s all sorts of messed up.it.

    Just want to say that JLO looks amazing, the older she gets the better she gets. No matter what anyone says I am sure it’s going to be an amazing video, can’t wait to see it. Double or no double who care, and if she wants to go out with a younger guy thats her business, life is two short…. go go JLO.

    this is my two cents

    Very well said Anna-Belle!! Although I must say I’m very curious to see what kind of music video this is that she needs a stunt double…a male one at that

  5. whatever • March 15, 2012 @ 10:51 AM

    did it occur to anyone else that its a male stunt double because she looks like a male?? ……..

    “Joan” & “Nobody Important” must agree with both of you …..I just do not understand what one would have in commom besides maybe the bedroom, what do you talk about ? your grew up in two different generations …..but then again with $10,000 aweek allowance I would go out with someone twice my age LOL

    She is inconsequential and should go away. I love it how people like to say, “she looks amazing!”. So what? Go spend some time with your kids and stop being so self-indulgent. I am sure that they need their mother after having their parents split up.

  8. Kat's • March 15, 2012 @ 2:36 PM

    I get your point Anne-Belle. Life is definately too short, so if isn’t illegal and it doesn’t hurt anyone, enjoy yourself. If he makes her happy, who cares?

    I have no issues with women dating younger men, but this comes to a point that the boy toy needs to man up and make his own money… to me he’s just a gigolo for hire. I guess no shame at all.

  10. Toni • March 15, 2012 @ 3:09 PM

    to each their own, and everybody else should just
    mind their own !!

  11. Tiffany • March 15, 2012 @ 3:30 PM

    ….Donuts… Sooo sexy……….. Of all the foods to be fed like a baby a donut would definitely be my choice.

  12. Mary • March 15, 2012 @ 4:53 PM

    What’s with all the JLO bashing about her having a younger boyfriend? She looks fabulous and as a single female having a great time. What about all the fat belly and balding guys who think it’s OK to seek out young females, when in some cases are old enough to be not just their fathers but their grandfathers.If a single older woman or man hangs out with the younger opposite sex, it’s none of our business, just remember it takes two to tango. JLO is nobody’s fool!Men have been doing it for years it’s really time for women to catch up and enjoy the moment!

  13. Ann • March 15, 2012 @ 5:48 PM

    This is pathetic! So so so many men date women years younger than them and no one would call Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones horrible because they’re from different generations – please! They can still have things in common, and its none of our business

  14. Shelly • March 15, 2012 @ 5:58 PM

    Well, I think that Lopez is good at what she does and if this person qualified as the best stunt double then so be it. If the best person for the job was a slender man and probably needed to be particularly physically strong for the special stunts, then so be it. If JLO dates younger men, who cares, as long as they are adults. People just sound jealous of her.

  15. Ally • March 15, 2012 @ 6:29 PM

    He was feeding her donuts? Lol but seriously this guy is such a thug, she can do way better. Hope she knows he’s just mooching off her

  16. Dee • March 15, 2012 @ 7:05 PM

    Hey, whatever turns your crank… I do believe J-lo takes her kids with her when ever she can.. She must be one of the busiest performers in the business; I guess it’s hard to turn down all the opportunity that is just coming at her from all directions… I like her… she comes across as kind and caring.

  17. yuck • March 15, 2012 @ 7:29 PM

    Don’t hate on men who use older women for money, there are enough women out there who do the same but also remember that the partner who supports with money and gifts is also after something that without their wealth, they may not be able to get. It’s give and take, so don’t hate on those who can have these things, you know you would too if you were in their shoes.

    And JLo does look good, what I don’t like is that she is often described as a total b*tch which is not something I like but at least I don’t have to deal with that. Funny how only now people are seeing the resemblance of her as a man though!

    I’m not a cancer patient but hopefully my opinion rings true too!

    American Idol revived her dying career with two past album and movie flops. Now that her career is back up again, she’s cashing in on everything she can. Enjoy it while it lasts Jennifer.

    It’s just my opinion, but not a positive role model for her children or for Latino women. I couldn’t care less how old the guy she’s dating after leaving her marriage to Marc Anthony, but it’s the way she’s conducted herself in public that I find to be less than appealing for a newly single mother.

    I hope she’s not looking back at her life when she’s 50 and wishing that she should have given a harder try to one of her, to date, three marriages. Hmm, maybe she’s hoping to break Elizabeth Taylor’s record of eight marriages. We’ll see, stay tuned!

    It’s not much of a compliment to realize that she looks like a man.

    Seems that everyone is back on the story of her boy toy. Figure if she’s happy with him she should enjoy herself. But the fact that she pays him $10 000 a week, doesn’t that make him her gigolo and not a boyfriend.

  20. Steph • March 15, 2012 @ 9:16 PM

    If Jlo wants to be with a young guy all the power to her she works hard and is in better shape then most young woman … As for him using her for money I don’t know about that one how many guys would die to date her for nothing!? I think she is an amazing woman and well how many people that aren’t famous date younger people ? Just cuz she has her life brodcasted doesn’t make it fair for everyone to judge her

  21. Laraine • March 15, 2012 @ 10:06 PM

    I bet if she stopped paying him he’d be outta there fast.

  22. Olive • March 15, 2012 @ 11:52 PM

    Is it cruel to say that the stunt double looks better than J Ho? Seriously, dating someone who could be her son makes her one. And by the way, why is it that you let your boytoy direct your video when you give him a 10000 dollar “allowance?”

  23. charlene • March 16, 2012 @ 1:42 AM

    Maybe I’m seeing a different picture here. HE looks like a HE wearing a wig and padding to me. SHE looks like SHE. The only thing I see similar is makeup and hair – and his does look fake. The hairline just doesn’t look natural at all. And the jawline definitely looks masculine on him. But maybe it’s a different picture that I’m seeing.

  24. Bizzybody • March 16, 2012 @ 4:17 AM

    His skin is too dark and I don’t think they look at all alike. He just looks like a guy in drag to me. BTW, I wonder if she feels good having to pay for her stud service.

  25. Youngn • March 16, 2012 @ 3:44 PM

    I don’t think you people quite get what everyone’s issue really is. It’s not the fact that she’s dating a younger guy. It’s the fact that she’s SUPPORTING HIM. I mean she pays him a weekly allowance and is giving him a job. That’s just pathetic. It would be fine if she was dating a younger man that wasn’t such a useless leech.

  26. cat • March 17, 2012 @ 2:33 PM

    Ok so she had to hire a double for this music video, at least get someone who looks like her and give them the same clothes. His ears are different, facial structure is different, the black coat is different, his wig haircolour is different. Too many things are different, wonder what the video will be like.

  27. Dave • March 17, 2012 @ 4:17 PM

    American Idol sucks since she joined the judges.

  28. Olive • March 17, 2012 @ 6:39 PM

    Well lots of very critical comments here. I like to always give the benefit of the doubt since nobody really knows the truth about anyone else’s lives especially if we’re just relying on tabloid rumour. One point about JLo’s beau (or boytoy) is he was already on the payroll before they started their fling, so maybe the $10,000 is related to that as well, because I’m sure the other dancers aren’t doing it for free.

    Plus, I’m her age and if I weren’t married and had an opportunity to sleep with a guy in his 20’s, I honestly can’t say I wouldn’t be tempted and do it. Some of you are right about the the amount of men who do it.

    And my last point about the stunt double, do you guys realize how many stunt doubles are actually men regardless of who they are doubling for. It just so happened they were shot together which makes it easier for folks to pick out the differences. Stunt doubles are not exact replicas, so why should this be any different.

    Oh and “Whatever” – Anna Belle’s comment about being a cancer patient was to back up her comment about “life is too short”. God Bless, Anna Belle.
