It's so random

It’s not every day you bump into a celeb on the street—let alone get to film a whole interview with them. But that’s exactly what happened to content creator Khan, who’s known for his on-the-street interviews where he casually asks passersby what they do for a living. His TikTok feed is usually filled with everyone from nurses to stylish mother-daughter duos… but his latest subject? None other than Jennifer Lopez.

In the now-viral video (which racked up over 11 million views by Wednesday afternoon), Khan approaches Lopez, compliments her outfit and casually asks, “What do you do for a living?” Lopez, visibly caught off guard, responds that she’s a singer and entertainer, later adding that she genuinely loves what she does. While she remained gracious and composed throughout the rest of the interview—which included questions about the best advice she’s ever received and how to build confidence—the internet had plenty to say, especially about that unexpected first question.

“She looked like she was genuinely confused at the beginning,” one commenter wrote. Another added, “She was surprised you didn’t know her,” while someone else chimed in with, “She was flabbergasted but she kept going.”

Still, some viewers weren’t entirely convinced this was a real “in-the-wild” moment. “You think this was spontaneous and she wasn’t in on it?” one person asked. Another claimed, “It’s all scripted,” while a third simply wrote, “You think this happened randomly? Lol.”

Staged or not, one thing’s for sure: J.Lo looked flawless. She wore a crisp striped button-down tucked into wide-leg linen pants, topped with an oversized gray trench coat and styled with a green leather clutch.

When asked about her look, Lopez revealed, “I think this is from Free People,” while touching her trousers (they appear to be the Julien wide-leg chinos). She added, “And this is a beautiful bag that Amiri sent me.”

Celebrity or not, the woman knows how to serve a street-style moment.
