A journalist may have a new career at his feet — as J. Lo's backup dancer.

Entertainment writer Joseph Longo asked the flight crew on his JetBlue flight to announce actress Jennifer Lopez's Golden Globe nod for her role in "Hustlers" — and to suggest that those on the flight select the film as their in-flight movie.

"We greatly appreciate if you join us in supporting Ms. Lopez and watch 'Hustlers' on our flight today," the flight announcer says, in a video tweeted by Longo. "Thanks for your support, and we hope that Jennifer wins an Oscar."

But Longo got more than he bargained for when he was accidentally called "a well-known back-up dancer" for Lopez, instead of "The Backup JLo," as he says he requested.

Several hours later, Lopez retweeted the video, thanking him for the support and saying that he can be her backup dancer any day.

Lopez was nominated as Best Supporting Actress for her performance as a stripper named Ramona in "Hustlers," which is based on a true story, starring alongside actresses Constance Wu, Keke Palmer, and Lili Reinhart. 

"Could not be prouder to be recognized by the HFPA. Hustlers was a labor of love, sweat and perseverance written, directed, produced, edited and starring a group of bad-ass women," the actress/singer wrote in response to her nomination. "I am proud and honored to represent them and this film!!!!"
