Selena Gomez plans to prioritise her acting career.
Selena Gomez is focused on her acting career
The 32-year-old star recently starred in ‘Emilia Perez’ – the musical crime film – and Selena has confirmed that she intends to focus on acting, rather than music, for the time being.
The brunette beauty told Variety: “I love storytelling, and my music career is separate. However, I don’t see that being a forever thing.”
Selena – who is dating record producer Benny Blanco – insisted that music will “always” be in her life. But the ‘Only Murders in the Building’ star is firmly focused on her acting career for the moment.
She said: “I’ll always have music in my life because my partner’s a musician, and I love having moments to do it for fun. It can be a little vulnerable when you’re putting yourself out there versus escaping into a character.”
Selena considers acting to be her “strong suit”, and she conceded that she’s now “a little too old for the pop-star life”.
The Hollywood star explained: “I definitely think my strong suit is probably acting. But one thing I’m proud of in music is being able to tell a story – my favourite songs are mostly ballads, and they’re very transparent and honest. But I think I might be a little too old for the pop-star life.
“I’m genuinely so happy to just be in this new era of my life, because in a lot of ways, it’s just the beginning.”
Selena previously claimed that she hasn’t even “scratched the surface” of her acting ambitions.
The actress has enjoyed huge success in recent years – but Selena still has so many things she wants to achieve.
She told The Hollywood Reporter: “Acting has, and will always be, my heart.
“There’s so much that I want to do and that I haven’t even scratched the surface of, and it’s exciting to me.”
