Jennifer Lopez was very impressed with her first meeting with Barbra Streisand

Jennifer Lopez vividly remembers the day she met Barbra Streisand who, by her own admission, is one of her biggest idols. It was in the early 2000s, during a party organized by agent Ed Limato on the sidelines of the Oscars.

“Ed used to throw a big party every year the day before the Oscars, where everyone went. It was in 2002 or 2003. I went there with Ben (Affleck) and I met Barbra Streisand for the first time. She came up to me and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I’m such a huge fan. And she said, “How do you do that?” And I said, “How do I do what?” And she said, “To be so famous?” “, told the pop star to RollingStone.

Unexpected

A question that did not fail to disturb Jennifer Lopez, in the same way as the disproportionate interest that Barbra Streisand had for the diamond that Ben Affleck had offered her for their engagement. “She was obsessed with diamonds,” she continued.

Finally, Barbra Streisand felt confident enough with her youngest to tell her that she had never been comfortable with speed and that she continued to have monstrous stage fright when going on stage. “She was telling me all these things. I was really surprised. I had never imagined it like that, it stayed with me, ”concluded Jennifer Lopez.
