Gomez bemoans her youthful look

-

AMERICAN actress and singer Selena Gomez has claimed her youthful looks have restricted her acting career.

The 24-year-old beauty is one of the most recognisab­le women in the world but has admitted her innocent appearance made it tough for her to secure more mature on-screen roles.

“I could do any tomboy/teen princess movie in the world but want to be a part of projects that have value, that really matter.” Gomez confessed she doesn’t see the landscape changing for her “any time soon”.

She told The New York Times: “I think I look really young and image-wise it’s difficult for people to grasp.”

Also, earlier this week Gomez admitted her “addiction” to Instagram made her feel awful.

The brunette beauty explained that her infatuatio­n with the photo-sharing website caused her to feel “like s**t” though she has 114 million followers.

“As soon as I became the most followed person, I sort of freaked out. It had become so consuming to me. I was an addict, and it felt like I was seeing things I didn’t want to see, like it was putting things in my head that I didn’t want to care about.

“I always end up feeling like s**t when I look at Instagram, which is why I’m kind of under the radar, ghosting it a bit.” – Bang Showbiz
