As a dedicated follower of Selena Gomez‘s career, I must say that her transformation from a Disney star to a versatile actress is nothing short of inspiring. With her role in Emilia Pérez, she has taken a bold step towards embracing her Mexican roots and diving headfirst into the complexities of her character.
Selena Gomez returned to her Mexican roots with her role in the Spanish-language movie Emilia Pérez, directed by Jacques Audiard. Starting as a Disney star, Gomez’s evolution into more complex acting roles, especially with Emilia Pérez, is likely to be the film that brings forth a newer and bolder phase in her life and career.
In the movie, Gomez primarily communicates in Spanish and honed her pronunciation on the kitchen show Selena & Chef. Given her multifaceted character, before the AFI Festival’s film premiere, she expressed a wish to engage in a “daring” and “thrilling” project according to Entertainment Weekly.
The movie primarily revolves around Emilia, portrayed by Karla Sofia Gascón, who was once a cartel leader and strived to rebuild relationships with her family following her transformation into a woman. Gomez skillfully portrays her tough persona and takes on the role of Jessi, a character she put in considerable effort to secure. As a non-native Spanish speaker, Gomez sought out this specific film project as it provided an opportunity for her to honor her Mexican-American heritage.
In my case, I managed to learn some Spanish just in time for my project, which I now cherish deeply as it allows me to connect more intimately with my family’s cultural heritage. Despite not hearing the language often, I take great pride in my ancestry, and the sound of my surname resonates with that connection. In my own words, “The challenge of being in a predominantly white English-speaking environment makes my identity even more significant. Being part of something like this was incredibly meaningful because I’m extremely proud of who I am.
The actor from “The Only Murders In The Building” stated, “Being fluent [in Spanish] isn’t essential for me to feel proud or truly Mexican in my perspective. For me, my last name has always symbolized my family, my heritage – everything that makes up who I am.” Meanwhile, the CEO of Rare Beauty has no immediate plans for a Broadway debut, but is looking forward to taking on more Spanish-language projects in the future.
When asked about Jessi’s character, Gomez commented, “I found her such a multi-layered personality that I felt I could fully explore. I gave it my utmost effort. I did my best. I contributed what I could – a touch of vulnerability, and despite her tough exterior, she managed to experience love once more, which was truly remarkable.
Emilia Pérez, currently streaming on Netflix, draws inspiration from Mexican musical heritage and showcases Selena Gomez alongside other performers like Zoe Saldana in several dance routines and songs sung in Spanish. Although Selena Gomez didn’t need to guide her co-stars, she appreciated tips from Saldana, who is a professionally trained dancer.
