Selena Gomez isn't interested in short-lived teen stardom, she wants to be taken seriously as an actress. Recently, she turned down the chance to star in
High School Musical 3, to pursue more '
serious' projects.
Selena told the
New York Daily News:
"High School Musical 3 is cute, and I think it would be a great opportunity for someone else. But I passed on it because I didn’t want to do it. I plan to take other roles in acting that are challenging for me. After Disney, I want to be taken seriously as an actress for many years."
Selena, who stars in '
Another Cinderella Story,' opening April 4, claims the film is '
not the sequel to the first one'. Referring to
'A Cinderella Story' starring
Hilary Duff. In this new
Cinderella,
Selena plays hip hop and tango dancer
Mary Santiago. She spilled:
"At a ball, I meet a guy and we fall in love during a dance. Instead of dropping my glass slipper, I drop my MP3 player."
omFg genius!
