The 31-year-old has her eye on a Hollywood acting career, but wants to balance it with her singing – just like 45-year-old Jennifer.
According to reports, Cheryl met with movie bosses while in France for the Cannes Film Festival this weekend.
An insider told the Daily Star: "Cheryl's big career ambitions are in films. Although music is her main passion she knows the industry can be fickle.
"She is very realistic and knows she is not ready for a leading role but is looking to open doors to an acting career with some smaller parts."
Mum-of-two Jennifer has had success with both singing and acting since the mid 90s, and this is something Cheryl is said to be keen to emulate.
The source added: "Her priority is still music but in the long run she is hoping to balance an acting and singing career like J.Lo."
Cheryl isn't totally new to acting: in 2012 she had a small cameo in What To Expect When You're Expecting, also starring Jennifer.
