We’re getting our first glimpse at Constance Wu’s character playing a stripper in Jennifer Lopez’s new movie, Hustlers.
The movie is about a group of strippers who plot to con Wall Street executives who have been less than respectful to the dancers.
Wu co-stars alongside Lopez and Cardi B.
According to Hollywoood Life, filming began Friday in New York. The Crazy Rich Asians and Fresh off the Boat star is heavy on the eye make up in the new role. It marks a major departure from the fun, but uncertain Rachel in Crazy Rich Asians and the strict and confident mom, Jessica Huang, in FOTB.
Cardi B. has told reporters she herself once worked as a stripper.
“A lot of women here, they taught me to be more powerful,” Cardi told CBS Sunday Morning’ in December 2018 “I did gain, like, a passion and love [for] performing. It made me feel pretty… I’m glad for this chapter in my life. A lot of people always want to make fun of me — ‘Oh, you used to be a stripper!’ — I don’t ever regret it, because I learned a lot. I feel like it matured me. My biggest ambition was money. That’s what these women put in my head: nothing is important but the money.”
