Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez joins the show to talk about her role in Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Pérez – a bold, genre-defying film that follows the journey of four remarkable women in Mexico, each pursuing their own happiness.

Gomez recalls the emotional moment that she found out she’d gotten the role of Jessi (the wife of a fearsome cartel leader), describes the joyful experience of working with Audiard on Emilia Pérez’s multi-lingual set, and discussed why even as a seasoned singer and performer the film’s unique choreography presented a new set of challenges.

Gomez also shares her desire to continue exploring the depths of her capabilities as an actor, talks about her continued work in the youth mental health space, and reflects on how being an only-child for the first twenty-one years of her life helped set her on a path towards acting.
