"I even cried, it's so hard! Sometimes I thought I can not and I'm not JLo. For me, it's something something very new, but I will not part, "says Peña, who since he went to Oscar de la Hoya in Las Vegas 15 years ago, has already pointed out to him his resemblance to the singer And although her pregnancy eight years ago postponed it to a proposal of the Puerto Rican choreographer Papote Varet, who, seeing her present a beauty contest, was speechless in front of her resemblance to Jennifer Lopez, she decided at the end of last year to operate

"You will be my next JLo", he said. I was shocked, that one Latin man told me, "remembers Peña of the proposal of Varet, current artistic director of the project" JLO The Tribute ", whose world premiere is scheduled for August in Los Angeles.

Equalizing the number of scenarios that Jennifer Lopez has put together in more than 20 years of experience, but Peña says that they "ask everywhere", so it is perceived by different countries as part of the "Big" Tax World

[19659005] They cheered me and took pictures, I could not do anything, I bowed my head, "he says," As much as I say I'm not JLo, people do not leave me not go out, whether in Miami, Los Angeles or Mexico. "

Overall, the resemblance to the singer gave him the negative side of the cel have been frightened by some fans and "a little loud" messages that get.

Also, it is not good to become the double of Jennifer Lopez, says Peña, who will not give up, for the moment, their personal business like their beauty salon, since they are his source of investment for this adventure.

Still, he loves the experience because it is a "big challenge", and he assures that he has never signed autograph as if it 's a "big challenge", and he' s sure he 's never signed autograph as if it' s a big challenge. was Jennifer Lopez, whom he has not met yet in person
