An average of 29.2 million people tuned in to watch the 2016 Democratic National Convention but what they didn't see on TV was caught on camera backstage.

Hillary Clinton's campaign released a video showing the 'Behind The Scenes' of the DNC and it shows a sweaty America Ferrera, Elizabeth Warren chatting with Sarah Silverman, and Meryl Streep hanging out with Bill Clinton.

But one of the most memorable moments is when president Barack Obama is caught candidly rocking out to Eminem's 'Lose Yourself'.

The president appears to pump himself up for his big speech on the convention's third night as he dances to the rap classic.

Aides behind the president grin and laugh as Obama rocks out to the lines 'Snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity'.

That clip appears about one minute in but the video starts by showing Hillary Clinton entering the back stage of the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia flanked by an entourage.

She asks a woman next to her 'What are all those bags for, girl?' and the woman replies 'You know, you never know what you're going to need'.
