After the 'On the Floor' songstress was caught flipping the bird to shutterbugs during a drive-thru stop at McDonald's with her husband, an expert says her gesture made her seem like a 'rebellious teenager.'

AceShowbiz - Jennifer Lopez is seemingly trying to copy Ben Affleck with her recent rude gesture to paparazzi. After she was caught on camera flipping the bird to shutterbugs during a McDonald's run with her husband, it's believed that she was trying to impress the actor with the said gesture.
Weighing on J.Lo's shocking act, body language expert Judi James tells The Mirror, "It's usually Ben looking surly at the paparazzi but it seems Jennifer has caught or copied his mood here, perhaps in a bid to impress him by showing him he's not the only one in the marriage who can look like a rebellious teenager."
Noting that it's unlike the "Shotgun Wedding" actress' usual self as she went make-up free and wore a comfy outfit during the outing, Judi adds, "It's so normal to see Jennifer totally on-brand as an elegant A-list icon that seeing her here without make-up and raising the finger in such an emphatic way must be a shock for the fans."
Judi also suggests the middle finger was a calculated move by J.Lo. The body language expert explains, "If her body language had suggested actual anger the finger signal might have looked like a spur-of-the-minute, loss-of-temper mistake. But her facial expression here, with the slightly twisted smile, looks calm enough, hinting that the rude signal was deliberate and maybe part of her normal repertoire."
J.Lo and Ben were spotted on their latest McDonald's run in Los Angeles on Friday, October 20. Seemingly annoyed, she showed her middle finger to paparazzi while at the drive-thru.
She opted for a light orange sweater and tied her hair back into a ponytail with some strands framing her face. Her husband Ben, who sat behind the wheel, also looked cozy wearing a ribbed gray jumper.
Despite her gesture, the "If You Had My Love" hitmaker looked happy as Ben returned to their SUV after walking into the fast food chain and picking up a bag of food and a soda. They then tucked into burgers before leaving the car park.
