‘I Was Still So Young’: Selena Gomez Recalls Her 2012 R-Rated Flick With Vanessa Hudgens Amid Benny Blanco Engagement Rumors

As a die-hard fan who has grown up watching Selena Gomez grace our screens since her Disney days, it’s always fascinating to delve deeper into her journey and explore the lesser-known aspects of her career. The transformation from Wizards of Waverly Place to Emilia Perez in a drug lord film is nothing short of remarkable!


From an early age, Selena Gomez has consistently captivated us with her exceptional acting abilities on-screen. Even during her days as a Disney star, featured in the Wizards of Waverly Place series, she has more recently taken on a role in a movie centered around the life of Emilia Perez, a drug lord.

At one point, around 2012, she starred in an R-rated movie. By then, she was relatively young.

More recently, the actress reminisced about her auditions and admitted her innocence during the production of that Harmony Korine movie when speaking with The Hollywood Reporter.

The subject at hand is the movie titled “Spring Breakers,” and the actress was questioned whether choosing to transition from Disney to starring in “Spring Breakers” was a deliberate decision aimed at demonstrating her acting abilities.

As for your query, I wholeheartedly concur with the Monte Carlo actress’s response. To clarify, that was the primary motivation behind my actions. Moreover, I’d like to share that my mom is a fan of Spring Breakers as well.

Previously, Selena Gomez mentioned that she pursued the movie opportunity after completing more than 100 episodes of “Wizards” and a few other films. Subsequently, she encountered Harmony. Referring to him as an intriguing filmmaker, the actress from Hotel Transylvania explained that the director had tested her in various ways during the audition process.

Speaking from my expertise in lifestyle and personal growth, I’d like to share an insightful observation. During those audition sessions, my mother was a constant presence, offering her support and encouragement. Similarly, the filmmaker had his family by his side – his wife and kids – fostering a secure environment for someone as young as 18. This shared sense of comfort and familiarity truly set the stage for a nurturing and safe experience.

Afterward, the singer reminisced about sharing her enthusiasm for Spring Breakers, to which the filmmaker responded, “I believe you’d fit perfectly for this role.

Spring Breakers was also a film that had another Disney star, Vanessa Hudgens

In earlier times, Gomez explained to her colleague that because the movie was R-rated, her young Disney fans wouldn’t be able to see it. Hudgens simply said “Okay”, and Gomez characterized her previous self as naive.)

This wistful moment arises with whispers circulating about Gomez possibly getting engaged to Benny Blanco, her long-term partner.

Speculation about this topic began in August, when Gomez shared a selfie on her Instagram Stories that showed her hiding her hand behind an emoji and Blanco visible in the background.
