Jennifer Lopez Says She Once Lost Her Eyesight From Exhaustion After Working 98 Days In A Row

Jennifer Lopez is opening up about some of the struggles she’s faced with fame and the consequences of her working non-stop for months at a time. The 56-year-old actress was on the June 15 episode of the “SmartLess” podcast with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett where she recalled once working for nearly 100 days straight. “I was working, filming every day, as you guys know what that is, you know, all the hours. And then I would go into the studio at night, and then on the weekends, I had junkets or video shoots or whatever,” she said, adding, “I remember not clocking that I had worked like 98 days in a row without taking a day off.” Eventually, working so much took a physical and mental toll on Jennifer. In fact, she revealed that one day while she was on the set of the 2002 film “Enough,” she literally couldn’t move or see. “I went back to the trailer, and I sat down, and all of a sudden, like, I just couldn’t see. Like, it was almost like I couldn’t see clearly, like something just went over my eyes, and I couldn’t move,” she continued. Her bodyguard ended up picking her up and taking her to the hospital, where the doctor explained her body had essentially “shut down” from exhaustion. During the candid interview, JLo also shared the moment she realized she’d reached the next level of fame and could no longer be anonymous during her day-to-day life, explaining how she manages her level of fame now.
