Jennifer Lopez will star as Griselda Blanco, also known as the “Cocaine Godmother” who ruled the bloody street drug trade in Miami, Florida in the 1970s and 1980s. She is expected to put on lots of weight to fit in for the role. Some serious weight!
The Cocaine Godmother
The film will chronicle the rise to power and ultimate downfall of the infamous Columbian drug kingpin who pioneered drug trafficking from Columbia to the U.S. She employed such tactics as designing custom bras and girdles, which hid cocaine for her drug mules flying to the States.
Blanco ran one of the most powerful drug cartels of the era and it was known for its violent actions. She was convicted of three murders, though Miami detectives suspect she was involved in scores more.
Blanco spent almost two decades in U.S. prison before she was deported to her native Columbia in 2004. In 2012, two armed motorcyclists reportedly shot at her while in her hometown of Medellín, where she died from the gunshot wounds.
She had a net worth of $2 billion as at the time of her execution.
Wow this is the height of dedication to work, gaining 35kg for a movie role and then after the movie, she would loe it all again, incredible.
