Jennifer Lopez, 50, does the split as she shows off stripping skills and flirts with Usher behind the scenes of Hustlers

JENNIFER Lopez showed off her incredible, sexy stripping moves in a new video from behind the scenes of her latest film Hustlers.

The 50-year-old star warmed up with some risque stretches in her trailer before making her way to the studio and writhing on a strip club stage.

She shared a flirty chat with Usher, who has a cameo role in the film as himself, with the R&B star unable tear his eyes from the beauty's character.

Usher's turn in the flick, that sees him send a group of strippers wild as he drops into their club, was nearly scrapped because of his unwillingness to change his hairstyle.

Director Lorene Scafaria told : "Usher looks exactly the same as he did in 2008, but his hair is different.

“He wasn’t sure if he was going to be able to do it because he didn’t want to have to change his hair.

"I was googling pictures of Usher and hats, and then he had pictures of himself in hats to prove that he could play himself in 2008.”

The new movie is based on the real-life story of four strippers who lured men into lap-dance joints, spiked their drinks then swiped their credit cards to steal cash.

And J-Lo recently told The Sun how she perfected the part by dancing at home in her knickers while fiancé Alex, 44, filmed her.

Recalling the first days of training on a stripper pole she had installed in her home, Jennifer said: “When I first started, the instructor comes over and tells me, ‘You have to take off a lot of your clothes because your skin has to stick to the pole. You’re going to be in your bra and underwear, so be comfortable being like that’.

“I was like, ‘Are you f***ing kidding me?’. I don’t even know you’.

“Meanwhile, Alex is in the house and I am only in my bra and pants.

“He comes over and starts filming and ­immediately posts it online.

“I say, ‘What are you doing? I don’t even know what I’m doing yet’. He’s like, ‘It’s great, it’s great’.

“So he enjoyed watching me and as I got better and better, he was like, ‘Wow, how did you do that, how did you go upside down? You couldn’t even climb up the thing two weeks ago’.

“It was fun to learn but it was difficult.

“I was very beat up and had huge bruises all over my legs and my shoulders. I had to really train a lot.”
