Selena Gomez Still Gets 'Triggered' By Her Disney Past

perezhilton.com:

Selena Gomez is opening up about how her Disney past still affects her. As many of you know, the Lose You to Love Me singer got her big break back in 2007 when she was cast in the role of Alex Russo on the Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place.

This was of course a dream come true, as it would be for many young actors attempting to break onto the scene. However, like many Disney child actors before her, the Selena + Chef star has since attempted to put as much distance between herself and the children’s show as possible.

While sitting down for an interview with Variety Wednesday, the 30-year-old dished on where her relationship to the Mouse House stands today: In the 11 years since WOWP concluded, Selena has attempted to break free from the child actor mold to carve out a more serious career for herself.

In addition to releasing chart-topping music, the Texas native has executive produced Netflix’s Living Undocumented, which showed a harrowing look into the life of undocumented dreamers in the United States, and released the Apple TV+ documentary, My Mind & Me, which followed her life from 2016-202.

Oh, and she recently earned a Golden Globes nomination for her work on Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building… She was even just named as “bright star” in Vanity Fair’s 29th Annual Hollywood Issue!
