Selena Gomez isn’t just relying on her fame to snag acting roles—she’s developed a smart “tactic” to break through preconceived notions. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter on Nov. 20, Gomez shared how her strategy has helped her overcome skepticism in the casting process.

Despite her global stardom, Gomez revealed that being famous isn’t always an advantage. “I’ve been very strategic and trying my hardest to pick projects that are compelling and not what people would envision me doing,” she said. Yet, some directors have doubted her suitability for certain roles without giving her a chance to audition.
To counter this, Gomez often auditions without revealing her name. This way, directors can assess her talent without bias. This approach has worked wonders, even landing her a role in 2016’s The Fundamentals of Caring.

“I’ll put myself in that room, no matter what it takes,” Gomez explained. Her determination to prove her acting skills shows her commitment to her craft.
After balancing acting and singing for years, Gomez is now prioritizing her first love—acting. “I think I’ve done just as much as I wanted to do in music,” she said. Now, she’s setting her sights on working with her dream collaborators, ready to take on more challenging roles.
With her passion and innovative approach, Selena Gomez is carving a path beyond her fame and making a strong mark in Hollywood.
