Selena Gomez has been in the public eye for the majority of her life. After deciding to pursue acting at a very young age, she found success by being cast in the hit show Barney and Friends. From there, she steadily built up her resume until she landed the lead role on the wildly popular Disney Channel show, Wizards of Waverly Place. Gomez stole hearts as Alex Russo, a devious teenage witch who was equal parts lazy and loveable.

Gomez may have started her career as an actor, but she has also found immense success as a singer as well. She began her music career as the lead singer of the band, Selena Gomez and the Scene until she decided to go solo. Today, Gomez entertains fans of all ages with her extremely catchy tunes and is known for her ability to infuse emotion into her songs.

Selena Gomez is a producer for her cooking show and other Netflix projects

In addition to acting and singing, Gomez also has also gotten into producing in the last several years. She first served as the executive producer for the hit Netflix series, 13 Reasons Why before taking on the television documentary series, Living Undocumented. In 2020, she signed on to produce and star in an HBO cooking show called Selena + Chef where she learns to cook remotely from famous chefs.

Gomez has also done her fair share of philanthropic work in addition to the work that she does in the entertainment industry. She has raised funds and awareness for Lupus Research and UNICEF and is an advocate for providing comprehensive mental health resources to people of all ages. In fact, her newly founded beauty company, Rare Beauty, has pledged to donate $100 million over the next 10 years to give people access to mental health services.

The “Dance Again” singer is filming alongside comedy legends Steve Martin and Martin Short. When Gomez learned of the project, she immediately knew she wanted to be a part of it. She quickly pitched herself to be in the project and was brought on board.
