On July 16, 1969, man first landed on the Moon, but the fact that Jennifer Lopez was born a mere eight days later is every bit as impressive. Albeit in slightly different ways. JLo is 49 years old, folks, but you wouldn't know that from looking at her incredible physique.
I've sure you've been able to have a look before - whether that be in various films, photoshoots or even her storied Instagram feed. But Lopez's latest Instagram post of herself in a bikini was enough to send the internet into a frenzy once more, and you'll understand why once you see it.
Here's Jennifer Lopez, rocking the pink bikini, showing off the abs that people half her age would kill to have. "I’m a hustler baby... I just want you to know..." JLo captioned the pic, in reference to her upcoming film Hustlers, where the musician and actress plays a stripper.
Tongues back in mouths, ladies and gentlemen; let's check out the comments, because the internet was going pretty crazy over JLo's latest demonstration of her carefully-crafted body. The likes of Lenny Kravitz, Naomi Watts and Vanessa Hudgens were just a few of the celebs who were blown away, but the regular people were just as enamoured.
"I thought this was a throwback. Omg," added @mgcanale with a heart eyes emoji, and they were far from the only one. " look at her ? I need to start working out, she looks 20 something here," added @bipashapatro, and I'm sure this Instagram user isn't the only one suffering from Bikini Envy.
JLo has already talked about her movie Hustlers before; appearing on the Ellen DeGeneres Show earlier this year, she revealed that she'd gone a bit wild with her diet in order to properly prepare for the movie, going a full 10 days without any sort of carbs in order to get her body as close to perfection as possible.
"I'm sure that the outfits are going to be..." Lopez said at the time, gesturing to her body after she trailed off there. "So I'm, like, getting ready for that," she added, before going into detail about the struggles of her dieting mission.
"Just the whole ramp up to it was like: 'oh God.' It was really hard. Not only do you get a headache, but you feel like you're in an alternate reality or universe. Like, you don't feel like yourself. You realize that you're addicted to sugar."
JLo even admitted that by the end of that 10-day period, she was craving sugar again. "I'm like, 'When can I have sugar again? I'm going to have cookies and then I'm going to have bread and then I'm going to have bread with butter,'" she said.
Well, no matter how she might have wanted that sugar and bread, what this Instagram pic shows is that Jennifer Lopez is in total control of her body. With bikini pictures like this, it's no wonder the internet goes crazy every time she posts a selfie.
