Selena Gomez reveals how hard it was to be a child star
The singer made her acting debut with Barney and her friends in 2002, when she was just 10 years old ...
In a new interview with Australian Women's Wear Daily magazine, Selena Gomez confessed that achieving fame during her childhood was very difficult for her, who from a young age felt under ‘immense pressure’ for being a child star.
When she was a child, the 29-year-old actress did "Barney & Friends" and later "Wizards of Waverly Place," and she admitted that she initially struggled to cope with the pressure that was presented to her.
“I came under immense pressure growing up and felt like I needed to be a good role model. And then I felt like maybe that wasn't realistic, my life became public very quickly, and I didn't know I was going through my own mental health journey at the time, ”she concludes.
Selena claims that it was only after many years that she felt the need to focus on her mental health and take control of her own life.
“It was very confusing growing up, and once people created this narrative of my life, I realized that I couldn't be more quiet. Okay, yeah, I was definitely going through a difficult time and that's why, and that's what I'm dealing with, ”she justifies.
