Selena Gomez, American film actress, singer and composer, was born July 22, 1992 in Grand Prairie, in northern Texas. Selena's father, Ricardo Gomez, is a Mexican. Mother - Mandy Cornett - Italian. Parents divorced when the girl was only five years old. Her mother, a professional theater actress, began to raise her daughter alone, trying to instill in the baby a love of art. She succeeded to the fullest. As soon as Selena grew up, the house was filled with children's songs and noisy staging. The girl did not go to school, she was taught by the teachers whom Mandy invited. In May 2010, Selena Gomez received a diploma of primary school education at home.
First movie roles
Selena did not want to continue her education, she was more attracted to a free creative life. In 2009, she organized the pop quartet Selena Gomez & The Scene. And even earlier, Selena Gomez, whose weight, height and other data was close to perfection, began to act in films.
Her first work was Gianna, a character in the 2002 film Barney and His Friends. Then Selena starred in several more films, and in 2007 she played a small cameo role in the film "Hannah Montana." However, a beautiful catchy appearance, the growth of Selena Gomez (165 cm), her charm, spontaneity attracted the attention of the directors, and the girl became in demand in the field of film production. The directors, starting the development of new scenarios of youth content, primarily had in mind the young beauty. Selena Gomez, whose weight invariably kept within 54 kilograms, was an ideal candidate for playing a role in any youth film.
The main movie roles
Then Selena began to participate in film projects as a partner, providing musical accompaniment to films in the form of soundtracks. In 2008, Gomez signed a contract with Hollywood Records for her participation in individual works of the company. Regardless of the work in the cinema, Selena actively promoted her musical project. The group's debut album was released in late 2009 and was called Kiss and Tell ("Kiss and Talk"). In the same year, Gomez starred in the series “Wizards of Waverly Place”. The series brought the actress worldwide fame.
In 2010, Selena Gomez, whose weight, height and body parameters made a favorable impression on the directors, played a major role in the family comedy directed by Elizabeth Allen "Ramona and Bizus" about the life of nine-year-old schoolgirl Ramona (Joey King) and her sister Bizus (Selena Gomez) . Another 2010 film in which Selena played the main character is Monte Carlo. This is a romantic comedy with a melodramatic touch. The plot focuses on the unsuccessful voyage of three girls to Paris, which, however, ended not so badly.
Musical projects
Possessing impeccable diction, Selena Gomez, whose age was also quite consistent with her character, took up the voicing of Princess Selena in the film “The War of Two Worlds” directed by Luc Besson. As for music, in 2010, Gomez released his second album, A Year Without Rain, which added popularity to the singer. Soon, the girl received a “celebrity invitation” to participate in the film “Give Sunny a Chance,” where she played Selena Gomez, that is, herself.
The third album of the singer was released in 2011 under the name When The Sun Goes Down. The song Love You Like A Love Song from this record four times reached a platinum halo. Immediately after the release of the third disc, Selena announced that she takes time out in her musical activity and devotes all her time to working in film projects.
In 2012, Gomez starred in the satirical comedy "Leaping Holidays" directed by Harmony Corin. The film tells about the adventures of four girlfriends who do not have enough money for an interesting pastime during the holidays, and about what the girls are ready to go to achieve their goal.
In October 2012, Selena returned to the recording studio to create the next Stars Dance album, which was released in the summer of 2013.
Personal life
The personal life of the young actress does not bear the character of quiet serenity. Selena Gomez, whose weight, height and beautiful figure does not leave anyone indifferent, enjoys the attention of thousands of fans. The actress also has ill-wishers. Once she had once in public kissed Justin Bieber, then immediately followed the threat of murder on the part of girls in love with a guy. And when he and Selena really began to meet, the army of fans of the famous Canadian choir declared: "How embarrassing is the old Gomez?" (Selena is two years older than Bieber.) The unrest continued until the end of 2012, until the young people announced a separation and further friendship. Nobody believed this. And rightly so, because after a week they, as if nothing had happened, began to appear together again. The waves subsided only when Selena several times appeared in society arm in arm with actor Joshua Hutcherson. Now the audience is waiting for the actress to part with her new friend.
Selena Gomez, whose weight, height and other external data delight millions of fans, nevertheless, sometimes also gets sick. She, like everyone, is sad, scared, lonely. But Selena does not succumb to negative moods and lives a full life. In 2009, Gomez was appointed Goodwill Ambassador for the UNICEF Children's Fund. Having occupied this honorable position, the actress became the youngest representative of the UN Foundation in the entire history of its existence.
