Alex Rodriguez sat down with The Breakfast Club and dished about he and J.Lo made it rain at several strip clubs, spending thousands on dancers, but it was all in good fun and research, (a-hem) for her character in the film, according to TMZ Sports.

“I was out in L.A. She’s in New York. She says, ‘Baby, I’m going to the strip club.’ I said, ‘WHOA!! I’ll be there on Thursday. We can go Thursday and Friday,'” Alex said.

“I mean, it’s part of due diligence, right?”

“She read and read and read [about strippers] … I said, ‘Baby, stop reading and just ask me. I got the info!'”

In addition to raining cash in the club, the engaged celebrity couple also sat down with the exotic dancers to talk to them about their jobs.

“We sat down with the girls, and we literally just interrogate them, ask them questions. Then, we would hit ’em up with $400 or $500 or $600. We weren’t there for dancing, we were literally there for work.”
