Selena Gomez on her acting career and upcoming film projects

'Hands To Myself' sensation Selena Gomez has revealed some big ambitions for her acting career during a chat with BBC Music. 

She opened up about her next film project, which will be James Franco's 'In Dubious Battle' where she plays a mother who gives birth, and spoke about how she researched the role:

"I was there when my mom gave birth to my little sister, so I got a little bit of the idea. Hopefully I did it justice. There was a lot of screaming. But filming that scene was very awkward, I have to be honest. People were down there in that area, looking and shooting. It was very weird."

Gomez also talked about her forthcoming Netflix series, '13 Reasons Why', and explained that getting director Tom McCarthy on board was especially exciting

"I'm hugely excited. My mom found this book about four or five years ago - and we originally wanted to adapt it into a film for me to star in but, you know, it took a couple of years. I couldn't be more thrilled that we got him - especially in this moment."

She went onto add that she won't be starring in the series as an actress, but would like to contribute to the soundtrack: "Correct. I don't know if there's anything I could do acting-wise, but I want to be part of the music."
