He just inspires me to be that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nOther people who have had a \u201ctremendous impact\u201d on Selena and her view on life are her Only Murders in the Building co-stars Steve Martin, Meryl Streep and Martin Short. <\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cThey don\u2019t make me feel silly for asking them anything. They\u2019ve shown me what it means to have dignity, to have class, to understand that the world doesn\u2019t always have to be a serious place. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIt\u00a0is\u00a0a serious place, but they talk about ideas and things that would be advancing someone\u2019s life. It\u2019s not dumb, numb conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nSelena also paid tribute to her co-stars for demonstrating how to live a full personal life while also keeping busy with work. <\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cThey all have families and they\u2019ve lived life in a way that I never have. It makes me excited to. Maybe that\u2019s why I\u2019m not afraid of getting older &#8211; because people have made it look really good to me by example.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/selena-gomez-getting-older-fun-1450719.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>16 September 2026 Selena Gomez has insisted she\u2019s \u201cnot scared at all\u201d about getting older, and says it\u2019s \u201cbeen so fun\u201d up until now.
