‘There’s So Much Respect’: Zoe Saldana Gushes About Emilia Perez Co-Stars Edgar Ramirez, Selena Gomez, Karla Sofia Gascon and Adriana Paz

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for Hollywood dynamics, I must say that the camaraderie and bond shared by the cast of Emilia Perez is truly inspiring. Having worked in the industry for years, I’ve seen my fair share of on-set rivalries and cold shoulders, but this project seems to be an exception. The way Zoe Saldana, Selena Gomez, Edgar Ramirez, Karla Sofia Gascon, and Adriana Paz have maintained their close relationships long after the filming is over speaks volumes about the unique environment created by director Jacques Audiard.


Zoe Saldana has openly expressed her feelings towards her co-stars in Emilia Perez, specifically Edgar Ramirez, Selena Gomez, Karla Sofia Gascon, and Adriana Paz. She praises the strong connection between the cast and mentions that their camaraderie continues even after filming has ended, as they continue to support each other.

On September 30th, the 46-year-old actress graced the premiere of the Spanish-language musical movie during the New York Film Festival. Reflecting on the project, Saldaña reminisced about how filming fostered a sense of family among the cast members, and they’ve continued to keep in touch, offering mutual support.

She shared with People that it remains incredible, filled as it is with love and respect. We cheer each other on, rejoice in each other’s successes, even helping to touch up each other’s make-up and choose outfits.

Actress Zoe Saldana shared the joy she felt during filming “The Avatar” alongside director Jacques Audiard, making her and her co-stars feel remarkably youthful. Looking back on the movie’s influence, Saldana explained that as they realized how impactful and meaningful the film had become for numerous audiences, their connection grew even stronger.

Selena Gomez strongly emphasized that the Emilia Perez movie holds significant importance for her, going as far as sharing a video on Instagram when she learned she was cast in the film. In this emotional clip, an overwhelmed Selena said, “I can hardly believe I got this role! I’m about to start crying again, I really don’t want to.

At the Cannes Film Festival 2024 in May, Emilia Perez made her debut, receiving a prolonged standing ovation for over 10 minutes and winning two awards. The plot revolves around Rita, an exceptionally intelligent yet overlooked lawyer portrayed by Saldana, who is employed by cartel leader Manitas (Karla Sofía Gascón) to facilitate his retirement and disappearance. The movie charts the transformation of this feared cartel boss into the woman he yearned to be and needed to become.

On November 1st, 2024, the musical comedy-crime film in French with Spanish dialogue, featuring Zoe Saldana, Edgar Ramirez, Selena Gomez, and Karla Sofia Gascon among others, will hit theaters. Starting November 13th, 2024, it will also be streamed on Netflix.
