Not even a drop of makeup. She was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much. Selena was wearing Bebe shorts. She had a baby face and ordered a hot chocolate.After making small talk about what she wore for the shoot, she dived into the subject of her career. Selena declared 2012 the year of movies. She filmed three: Spring Breakers, a drama; The Getaway, an action flick; and Hotel Transylvania, a comedy. Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.Now that her Disney days are behind her, Selena is at that unstable point in a child stars career where she is trying to grow upboth as a person(she turned 20 in July)and as an artist. “Being part of the Disney Channel was such a blessing, and Im super happy with what my show accomplished, but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously.” She continued, “I dont necessarily feel accomplished. I want to creat a whole different persona when it comes to acting.”Selena has been working fulltime since she was seven years old and scored a role on Barney&Friends.
