During the TCA Summer 2021 Tour , the actress actually served up some shade (sort of) about her time on the network when asked about the girl experience on the Hulu project. The girl said, per Entertainment Tonight :
“I signed my life away to Disney at a very young age, and I did not know what I was doing. ”
In order to be fair, she was just a teenager! Gomez quickly went on to clarify her statement, admitting:
“What I’d say is the level of sophistication of the material is the first reason why I wanted to do this. We didn’t know what I was performing. I was just running around on set. I didn’t understand what I actually was doing. I was simply playing around on set. ”
The Rare singer then mentioned how she has felt like a “sponge” on the particular set and wanted to “soak up all the wisdom from her co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin , whom she affectionately called her “two crazy uncles. ” She also described the two as “so humble and kind, ” saying:
“They’ve been carrying out this longer than I’ve been alive, and I would be so lucky to have a career that’s lasted that long. ”
AWW! But don’t worry as typically the feeling is mutual from this pair, as they also couldn’t stop gushing over their castmate! Matn noted that “when Selena will be on screen the show is usually elevated and more mysterious. The camera loves her” before Short detailed:
“Selena grounds everything in this dry, hilarious delivery. It was a dream to work with this brilliant young lady. ”
Gotta love a cast who seemingly respects and appreciates one another! But beyond the praise, Selena expressed how she’s just excited to her return to acting roots after stepping away through it for a bit:
“It’s really nice to be back on TV, and it’s nice to become cast as my actual age, which never happens. I don’t know if I’m a good actor. I just do my job. ”
No complaints over here! You can ch-ch-check out the trailer for her upcoming series (below):
