Jennifer Lopez and the crew who shot Second Act’s store scenes were surrounded by real shoppers.
In the new romcom, the superstar plays Maya Vargas, a woman stuck in a low-paying job who gets a second chance at a corporate career after creating a fake resume.
Part of the movie was shot at an actual retail shop in the Queens borough of New York City, and Jennifer has now shared that she was fine with filming in a public space.
“All of the scenes from the store were shot inside a real superstore (in Queens), so people were actually shopping while we were filming,†she said in an interview with U.S. Harper’s Bazaar magazine.
However, working in the public arena also meant that paparazzi photographers were always nearby. Inevitably, some of the snappers even make it into the final cut of the Peter Segal-directed flick.
“The paparazzi were everywhere. In scenes where the actors were speaking quietly, you could sometimes even hear them in the background whispering ‘J. Lo! Over here!’†added Jennifer’s long-time producing partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas. “(The photographers) were buying Entenmann’s, getting produce… So, in the end, some of the paparazzi made it into our movie!â€
While Second Act incorporates a romantic plot thread involving Jennifer’s character and Milo Ventimiglia’s Trey, the story also explores how people can be unfairly biased. The theme especially resonated with 49-year-old Jennifer, especially as she continues to push boundaries with her film and music projects.
“From early on in my career, I felt like people wanted to put me in a box,†she added. “You will play these sorts of roles, do this type of thing. Or you will only act. You cannot sing and act at the same time. I felt very confined by that because I knew I was going to do different things. I was at least going to try!â€
