After taking a pole-dancing lesson actress Jessica Szohr started respecting strippers more. The Gossip Girl star decided to take the special dancing class for her role in a new movie The Internship. She plays Marielena, who is a strip dancer in this comedy, so she had to shape up and learn some new moves.
“During my first scene, I was walking around in my bra and underwear in front of hundreds of people. I had to bring my A-game. So, two weeks beforehand, I took a pole-dancing lesson. It’s an insane work-out! I give strippers a whole lot of credit,” Jessica said.
