Her fine-tuned curves and eye-popping derriere has made her the envy of women across the globe.

So it comes as surprise that Jennifer Lopez revealed she used to hate being 'curvy' and was guilty of comparing herself to others.

In a candid interview with Britain's DARE magazine, the 46-year-old singer recalled: 'I remember thinking I wasn't thin enough because I had curves.'

She's just like us! Jennifer Lopez, 46, revealed she used to hate being 'curvy' and was guilty of comparing herself to others

However, the Love Don't Cost A Thing hitmaker has since learned to embrace her body for what it is and is encouraging others to do the same.

She explained: 'Feeling beautiful is an attitude, and we should all look for the beautiful things we love about ourselves, regardless of how our bodies compare to someone else.'

The mother to eight-year-old twins Max and Emme, also stressed the importance of working out to feel comfortable in your skin and convey a message of body confidence.

And for Jennifer - who started her career as a 'Fly Girl' on US sketch show In Living Color in 1991 - that confidence stemmed from dancing.

'Feeling beautiful is an attitude:' She has now overcome the lack of body confidence and regularly sizzled in skin-tight garments which flaunt her shapely figure and bootylicious behind- Pictured last year

'When my confidence is lagging, I dance. There's something about seeing what my body is capable of and feeling the endorphin rush that comes with a good dance session that really helps boost my mood. I still consider myself a dancer at heart, and I love it!'

While multi-talented Jennifer has made her mark over the years with many high profile projects such as Selena and The Wedding Planner, she has also been celebrated for her shapely figure.

In 2000, she ensured all eyes were on her as she donned the now iconic green Versace gown at the Grammys.

Plunging down the middle, it barely covered her ample assets and rested on her honed hips while flaunting her bootylicious behind.

A plethora of other scanty skin-tight images have put her in the same crop of beauty as posterior-flaunting Kim Kardashian and Nicki Minaj.

The beauty is now filming season two of her successful cop drama Shades Of Blue as well as putting on her energetic shows during her All I Have residency in Las Vegas.

In an interview with Deadline, the Ain't Your Mama singer said that she is 'grateful' for all the work she has at the moment.

'I just tried to be grateful for the fact that, at this point in my career, I have this much going on. But the truth is the quality of the work, of the writing, of the actors, of Barry [Levinson], of the producers, of the writers room.

'I felt like, this is my best work, you know? This was how I started my career. This is who I am. I always saw myself as an actress who danced and sang and had those talents as well, and I made my records later in my career.

'I didn’t make my first record until I was almost 30. So the acting was always the first thing. That was where people got to know me,' she said.
