Before the ceremony, Lopezspoke about all the trainingshe did to perfect her dancing inHustlers, in which she played a stripper who becomes a con artist.

“I was like, ‘Please get a close up of my face, even if I look like a bat hanging down, please make sure they know it was me so they didn’t think it was a stunt double.’ It was hard,” Lopez toldRyan Seacrestduring the E! red carpet pre-show.
“The one great benefit is having a pole in our master bedroom for six months,” Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez also shared several selfies of himself and Lopez at the ceremony. In the caption of one photo taken outside of the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, the former athletewrote, “Head of @jlo security, reporting for red carpet duty! @goldenglobes.”
