8 Even More Movie Scenes You Didn’t Realise Were Tricking You
7. They Used Selena’s Voice Instead Of J-Lo’s - Selena
The prior version of this secret trick-stuffed list mentioned how Ben Affleck once found his voice being surprisingly dubbed over during one of his first real big-screen roles. And it turns out his equally famous wife Jennifer Lopez also experienced something similar during the making of the 1997 biographical musical Selena.
Lopez played the titular singing superstar in the movie that told the story of Selena Quintanilla's meteoric rise and eventual death at just 23 years of age. However, though Lopez would go on to forge her own rather iconic music career, she didn't actually perform the majority of the warbling seen in the scenes in the finished flick.
Unlike Affleck, Lopez was well aware of the fact the production had opted to dub Selena's real singing over the actor's performances in the movie. But the majority of those who have sat down to watch the flick since its release in the mid-'90s, though, likely had no idea they largely weren't actually listening to 'Jenny from the Block's impressive voice here.
J-Lo sang just three words in the entire movie - kicking off the Como La Flor song at the Monterray concert. Other than that, all of the magnificent singing heard in the movie that helped make Lopez herself a superstar came from the late great Selena.
