JENNIFER Lopez loved teaming up with Tom Cruise at Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards.

At the ceremony, Cruise, 47, took to the stage as his Tropic Thunder alter-ego Les Grossman, a potbellied film producer.

“Working with Tom was amazing!” Lopez told US TV show Extra.

“I’m such a hard worker, and I’m kind of intense about my job. It’s great to work with someone who is just as intense and passionate and crazy about getting everything right.”

A month before the show, Cruise called Lopez, 40, personally to convince her to join him on stage.

“I said OK, we’d do a little mash-up of,” Lopez recalls. “I come out and sing a little and then we dance together. But [I told him] you have to learn this cane dance that I do in the video.”

“That is one of the hardest routines. But he did it,” she adds. “He really, really did it. And he did a great job! I was really proud of him.”

It was confirmed earlier this week that a movie centering on Grossman is in the works.
