Selena Gomez: "I like to cook, go shopping ... and jump"
Both Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens have been teachers of fun for millions of children through the Disney Channel. But they also need to be amused. How do they do it? In their new film, Spring Breakers, they go on a field trip and indulge in excesses, but their real life is something else.
Neither as models of morality under the Mickey Mouse dictatorship nor as divas of self-destruction as they appear in the new film by iconoclast Harmony Korine: Selena Gómez and Vanessa Hudgens have decided that they have already grown up, but their hobbies, or at least those that they confess, they are calm and do not involve any excess.
"I like to cook, shop ... and jump," says Gomez, to which her Spring Breakers co-stars, who in addition to Hudgens are Rachel Korine and Ashley Benson, laugh. "I mean it! We've been jumping all over the shoot," she says.
Something remains of innocence in her after the explosion of sex and drugs in the film and despite how hardened she is in the media exposure of her for her personal relationship with another youth idol, Justin Bieber.
Gómez, who will present the preview of her new album in March and is preparing her first world tour, including a stop in Spain, recognizes that it is the first time that she has given the face of a rebellious girl in the cinema. "Vanessa had already done it before, but for me it is the first time," says the actress and gives voice to her partner.
Hudgens, who changes the color of her hair - she wears a blonde wig throughout the film - walks around with just a bikini in most scenes and even has a lesbian scene, explains that for her "acting is the most fun" .
"They are incredible scenes, that were not in the script, that were completely improvised. And it is one of the projects that have filled me the most," says who was Zac Efron's artistic and sentimental couple, who is now taking off in the cinema.
Hudgens has already shot a new film, Frozen Ground, a dramatic thriller with Nicolas Cage and John Cusack, as well as Gimme Shelter, where he will face survival from lack with Brandan Fraser, and will submit to the excesses of Robert Rodríguez in Machete Kills.
"We are passionate about what we do and we try to do the best we can. Whatever it is," Hudgens concludes.
The movie Spring Breakers, in which the characters played by the actresses grow up to the rhythm of sex, drugs and pop music, definitely takes them away from the white landscape of the Disney Channel. The feature film establishes a set of mirrors that brightens the 'underground' culture and dirties its pop icons.
"I avoid anything that is moral, because I am more interested in the real, where beauty and horror coexist. When both things meet, people feel uncomfortable, but for me it is the most interesting thing," explained the director of the film, which has arrived in Madrid with the actresses to present the film.
