Whoever has been to Times Square in New York will know that celebrities posing provocatively in underwear on massive billboards are the norm.

But what about an advertisement that has a picture of a little girl on it?
However, the picture of the little girl isn’t just anyone; it is in fact Jennifer Lopez!

The Daily Mail reported that the curvy star and mum of two looked deep into her family album for the picture of her wearing a checked pinafore with her hair plaited in pigtails. A far cry from what she looks like today!

And if you’re wondering why on earth JLo would show the world what she looked like when she was younger, it is because she is supporting the Boys and Girls Clubs Youth Advocacy Campaign.

Next to the picture of JLo, are the words “Be Extraordinary” and the hope is that the advert will show young people that they can be whoever they want to be.

What do you think? Will the advert work? Tell us what you think on Twitter @areyouentwise and on our Facebook fan page.
