Songstress Jennifer Lopez has opened up about ageing in a new interview and admitted that she would rather work now to maintain her great figure than go under the knife in the future. 

When asked if she would ever consider having surgery to retain her youthful look by the hosts on Australian radio station 2DayFM, Lopez admitted that general anaesthetic 'terrifies' her: "I'm terrified of anything like that, like going under, I would be like, 'No, don't put me to sleep.'"

"[You can achieve a good butt with regular upkeep] little by little - as opposed to letting it get away and pulling it back with a knife. I think you can do it with eating healthy things and working out ... I've always been quite an athlete."

"From very young, I used to run track and do tennis. For me, it's always about getting into the gym or getting out there and just running outside - whatever it takes to kind of just, keep it all together. I think you can do that with good...you know, eating healthy things and working out, and you don't have to go crazy, you don't have to be a fanatic but just upkeep little by little."

The 'On The Floor' beauty went onto add that sometimes she has 'fat days', but just dresses accordingly and doesn't beat herself up about it: "Oh yeah, oh my God yeah, I mean and I dress for ... you know, when you have those days, you dress for those days. Like, when I wear the really loose ... it's like, maybe we should just wear kind of a tent dress today - but, make it cute."
