Jennifer revealed that she and the cast took advantage of a real-life audience at a Maluma concert. She told Jimmy Fallon, “He was having like two nights at Madison Square Garden and, of course, the producer in me is like, ‘We can take advantage of this. We have a scene, a big scene in an arena. Why don’t we do it at your concert.’ And he was like, ‘Okay.’”
She continues about the scene, “It was amazing. This scene is in the movie and they just didn’t expect me to come out at his concert. I’ve never been out at one of his concerts, and the crowd went wild and we got it all on film and we sang together.”
She looks like Mannequin.
