Jennifer Lopez will make her return to movie screens in October with the musical Kiss Of The Spider Woman. Her calm reaction to a cricket crawling on her during a recent performance at the Central Stadium in Almaty, Kazakhstan, suggests she is more than prepared for the surprising and intense moments her title role demands.

During that performance, as seen in a video posted to social media, an uninvited four-legged friend was seen crawling up her revealing black dress. The "Jenny From The Block" singer doesn't even flinch when the insect finds a spot on her neck to rest.
All Jennifer Lopez Could Do Was Flash a Smile
As Lopez pauses in the middle of a song, the cricket can be seen making its way toward the collar of her dress.
Lopez doesn't flinch. Rather, she takes a deep breath and flashes a smile from ear to ear. She then launches into a big, dramatic finish.
The crowd cheers. Lopez then grabs the cricket and flings it dramatically across the stage. It almost looks like it was all part of the show. It reminded us of that scene in Out of Sight when she "tussles" with Isaiah Washington.
"He was tickling me," she told the audience.
"A True Professional"
As the scene showing the "Spider Woman" taking down her insect adversary went viral, many commented on how Jennifer Lopez remained composed throughout.
"A true professional," one user declared.
"You are such a professional Jen! But I almost screamed when I saw it was going to your neck," another user said.
"Handled it so well," added another. "I would have collapsed right there."
Lopez Is No Stranger To Onstage Mishaps
Jennifer Lopez, who may or may not be moving to country music soon, has always shown grace under pressure. From dealing with tabloid rumors to handling the highs and lows of her career, the musician is cool, calm, and collected.
For example, during a recent performance in Poland on her 56th birthday, her skirt fell off. She kept dancing and even laughed off the incident later in the show.
"I'm glad that they reinforced that costume," she said. "And I'm glad I had underwear on. I don't usually wear underwear."
