“It was actually really interesting because I ended up developing a character that’s very similar to me,”
Selena Gomez said.
“And I actually believe in a lot of Latino communities in America. I think it’s everywhere, too. But I, I’m just really, really glad that we were able to make her Latino, because that’s who I am.”
