teenager despite being 24 and although a lot of people might consider this
a blessing, the star has revealed in a new interview that this keeps
her from getting roles that really matter.
Speaking to The
New York Times, she said that she’s struggling to secure gritty and
mature movie roles, having started out as a child actor and the obvious
reason for that is because of her youthful looks.
tomboy/teen princess movie in the world if I wanted to. I could do
those for years. But I want to be a part of projects that have value,
that really matter. And it’s really hard to do that. To be honest, I
don’t think it’s going to happen anytime soon for me. I think I look
really young and image-wise, it’s difficult for people to grasp.”
Selena
landed her big break on the Disney Channel’s Wizards Of Waverly Place
as a teen. Afterwards, she went on to star in Another Cinderella story,
Ramona and Beezus, Spring breakers and more, where she was given the
role of a teenager. Though she wants the adult roles, she is not hopeful
that will happen soon.
Selena is the most
followed person on Instagram, after Instagram of course, but that also
comes with a price as that means the number of trolls will be just as
much. The mean comments from trolls, she revealed, has affected her so
much that she deletes her app at least once a week.
She
said: “You fixate on the [negative] ones. They’re not like, ‘You’re
ugly.’ It’s like they want to cut to your soul. Imagine all the
insecurities that you already feel about yourself and having someone
write a paragraph pointing out every little thing – even if it’s just
physical.”
