Los Angeles, Feb 12 (NationPress) Actress-singer Selena Gomez finds it "very hard" to contemplate a comeback to music following the success of 'Emilia Perez'.
The 32-year-old star played a leading role in the Jacques Audiard-directed musical crime film, and Gomez shared her intention to "focus" on film and television endeavors in the near future.
Speaking at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, she stated: "I believe that film and art-making, alongside incredibly talented individuals who have continuously uplifted me, makes it challenging for me to revert back to music after this experience."
The “Wolves” artist aspires for 'Emilia Perez' to serve as a launching pad for her acting career, according to reports from femalefirst.co.uk.
She elaborated: "The director placed immense trust in me, and I am incredibly thankful as it allowed me to demonstrate my capability for greater roles. I hope this marks just the start of my journey."
Having already tasted considerable success as both an actress and a singer, the 'Good For You' artist recently admitted feeling "a bit too old for the pop-star life."
In an interview with Variety, she remarked: "I genuinely believe my strength lies in acting. However, I take pride in telling stories through music—my favorite tracks are predominantly ballads, known for their transparency and honesty. Yet, I feel I might be a bit past the pop-star phase. I am genuinely thrilled to embrace this new chapter of my life, as in many ways, it is only the beginning."
Selena has made it clear that she plans to concentrate on her acting career for now.
She remarked: "I cherish storytelling, and my music career exists separately. Nevertheless, I don’t see this as a permanent situation."
