Jennifer Lopez recreated Madonna’s iconic ‘Like a Virgin’ music video in the canals of Venice, sharing a clip on social media Sunday with the caption: ‘I had to do it…’
Details:
- The clip: Lopez, 57, appears on a gondola singing and dancing to the song’s lyrics while floating through the canals.
- The original: Madonna, 67, released ‘Like a Virgin’ in October 1984 and its video a month later. Madonna herself recently recreated the video with Julia Garner, posting it in March with the caption: ‘Like A Virgin……again and again.’
- A lifelong fan: On an episode of Track Star* this year, Lopez said: ‘When I was little, I wanted to be like her. That’s why I started coming to the village. I wanted to dress like her,’ adding that she would ‘cut up’ her clothes to look like Madonna.
- Her philosophy: ‘I always said to myself, I never want to get stuck. I always wanted to keep evolving. I always wanna keep doing new things,’ Lopez said.
- The 2003 VMAs: Lopez revealed on ‘Watch What Happens Live’ in June that she was meant to be part of Madonna’s famous 2003 VMAs performance but was filming ‘Shall We Dance.’ ‘I went to Madonna’s house! It was me, her and Britney. She was playing her guitar, and we were singing,’ she recalled, adding she was to come out first and sing ‘Like a Virgin.’
What to Watch:
Neither star has announced any joint project, though Lopez has repeatedly credited Madonna’s influence on her career.
