Selena Gomez Plays Spunky Character
Selena Gomez relates with the latest character that she impersonates.
The Disney diva is recently starring in the action film, Getaway, a movie about a young woman whose car is commandeered by a former race-car driver. Although the name of her character, The Kid, doesn’t say much, Selena confessed that she can easily identify with it.
'The Kid is spunky and edgy and really cool. I get her angst and why she's that way.. with her dad and the frustration of her wanting to be on her own,' she gushed to Flicks and Bits.
'She knows a lot about cars and technology, which I know nothing about [laughs], so that was interesting for me and a big challenge to familiarise myself with.'
Gomez teams up with Ethan Hawke in Getaway, the former taking the lead role in the movie. The Mickey Mouse diva publically expressed her enthusiasms of working with an actor like Hawke, from which she feels that she can learn lots of new things.
'He probably doesn't realize it, but every time Ethan speaks I take away so many pearls of wisdom. I had my first script, the first draft, when we were rehearsing. I would put 'Ethan' on the side and just write down quotes of what he would say because he just has so much knowledge [laughs]. I had so much fun working with him and I learned so much,' she gushed.
