Singer-actress Jennifer Lopez says she survived on one slice of pizza a day before landing her first big gig as a dancer.
The 47-year-old star is now a world-famous superstar, but making ends meet at the very beginning of her career in the late 1980s was so tough, she had to starve herself to get by, reported In Style.
"I ate one slice of pizza each day - no breakfast, no lunch," she recalled as she promoted her new TV competition show "World of Dance".
"I would eat it at 6pm so it would hold me over until the next day. That's how I lived, once I moved out of my mum's house, and I did that for a couple of years before I got my first big job."
Lopez scored her big break in 1991, when she was cast as a Fly Girl on the sketch comedy series "In Living Color", and she went on to establish herself in Hollywood with roles in movie biopic "Selena", "Anaconda", and "Out of Sight", in which she starred alongside George Clooney, while also making her mark on the pop charts.
