Selena Gomez Jokes About Being 'Too Old For The Pop Star Life'
HuffPost
The star explained that music may not be "a forever thing" in her career while talking to Saoirse Ronan for Variety's "Actors on Actors" series.
Entertainer Selena Gomez doesn’t see music as her main focus as she moves forward in her career.
The 32-year-old smiled as she seemingly joked that she’s “too old for the pop star life” in a Wednesday installment of Variety’s “Actors on Actors” series, which also featured “Lady Bird” star Saoirse Ronan.
In their conversation, Ronan praised Gomez for a solo she sings in the critically acclaimed musical thriller “Emilia Pérez.” This prompted the former Disney Channel star to say that she doesn’t see music as “a forever thing” in her career.
“I definitely think my strong suit is probably acting,” said Gomez, whose last studio album was released back in 2020.
While the two-time Grammy nominee noted that she’s “proud” of the stories she’s able to tell through song, she said: “I think I might be a little too old for the pop star life anymore. But I’m genuinely so happy to just be in this new era of my life ... because in a lot of ways, it’s just the beginning for me.”
