The filmography of Selena Gomez has about 30 films, and this despite the fact that the girl is only 23 years old and she is simultaneously making a musical career. How did cute Selena manage to break into the movie so early and what interesting facts can be found in her biography?
early years
Selena was born in 1992 in Texas. Her father was Hispanic and her mother Italian. When the future actress was five years old, her parents broke up, and her mother had to raise Selena on her own.
The girl, at the age of six, declared that she would be an actress. This decision was made for a reason: Selena's mother constantly took her with her to the set, and the child quickly got used to the atmosphere there. At 10, Gomez got her first role in the children's series "Barney and His Friends." Since then, the filmography of Selena Gomez stubbornly continued to grow.
In 2003, the young actress appeared in an episode of the famous film "Spy Kids-3." And already in 2005, Selena was invited to two projects at once: Walker, Texas Ranger and Zach and Cody's Intense Life.
But the famous Miss Gomez made the series "Hannah Montana" with Miley Cyrus in the title role. In this youth sitcom, the girl got the role of Michaela. Around the same time, the first contract of a young diva with a music label came.
Selena Gomez: filmography
In the title role, the actress first appeared in the film "Another Cinderella Story." The film was directed by Damon Santostefano, and Gomez got the role of the modern "Cinderella" named Mary.
The filmography of Selena Gomez was first replenished with a picture in which the actress was in the spotlight. Her heroine lives in our time, but, like her predecessors, dreams of a beautiful prince and great love. After going through a lot of trials, the young lady finds her happiness.
This film, Selena Gomez, whose filmography contains many other worthy works, can be considered a real breakthrough in her career. A year after the release of the picture, Selena released her debut musical album "Kiss & Tell".
After success in the acting and musical fields, Gomez turned into an idol for teenagers. As a celebrity, she began to be invited to various shows and, of course, there were offers to play the main roles in a number of youth films.
Filmography Selena Gomez: main roles
Gomez did not refuse favorable offers and continued to act in films. Annually new works replenished her already extensive filmography.
Her mother could have been quite proud of Selena Gomez, because once she brought her daughter to her first casting, and now the girl did not need to upholster the thresholds of film studios - the directors themselves were glad to see her on their sets.
In 2010, the young actress plays a major role in the comedy Ramona and Bizus. The film was commercially successful, and at a cost of $ 15 million, it collected more than 27 million at the box office.
In 2011, the film "Monte Carlo" directed by Thomas Bezuch was released. This time, Gomez played the American Grace, who, along with her friends, goes on vacation to Paris. In the "capital of glamor," Grace is mistaken for a high-ranking person, and the girl frivolously begins to use the goods that do not belong to her. Until the real Princess Cordelia appears on the horizon.
This lightweight adventure film grossed nearly $ 40 million worldwide and finally strengthened Selena’s position in the film industry.
