J.LO FILM SECRET OUT
TRICK OR TREAT. Producers of Jennifer Lopez’s new film “Second Act” did what they could to keep things on the down low while shooting at Michael Jordan’s Steak House in Grand Central — then actor Treat Williams posted a photo on Twitter that gave away their locale.
“In an effort to block the set from the public’s view, the production team brought in dozens of faux trees and plants to line the balcony,” said a source familiar with production on the new J.Lo flick. “But her not-sodiscreet co-star Treat Williams already tweeted a pic from the set.” Indeed he had. “Back on Set in NYC All aboard!!” Williams posted along with a photo of himself and Lopez (above) clearly taken from the second-floor restaurant. But luckily, Lopez wasn’t affected when Williams blew her cover.
Lopez “opted for her own private security, including several big body guards,” according to an insider. “She also came with a huge entourage.”
We’re told that Lopez arrived chomping on gum to shoot a dinner scene with Williams and fellow New York native Leah Remini. “J.Lo and Leah seemed really
chummy,” says our source.
And apparently J.Lo, dressed in business attire and sporting a new mediumlength hairdo, came ready for action.
“She also had a stunt double, fill-in on set,” according to our spy.
Just when it seemed things were slowing down on the set, onlookers were treated to another pop star sighting.
“Vanessa Hudgens arrived at the set later in the day to shoot a final scene before they wrapped,” we’re told.
For his part, Williams made the rounds after filming was complete and seemed to make amends for any inconvenience caused by his tweet.
“Williams said hello to the whole staff and went out of his way to thank MJ’s owner,” we’re assured. On Tuesday, Williams tweeted a photo from his plane and said he was “Heading home to Vermont.”
Shooting on “Second Act” started in Queens late last month and has also taken place in the Bronx. The romantic comedy hits theaters in 2018 and also stars Dave Foley and Annaleigh Ashford.
