Gomez opened up during the documentary’s premiere at the AFI Festival on Wednesday evening, revealing that she is not discouraged by the idea that the film will put her under more scrutiny.
“By being fully honest and transparent about what I walked through, there’s nothing that they can say that honestly will affect me,” Gomez stated to Variety’s Marc Malkin on the red carpet.”I will soon be visible to everyone.That is all I have.”
Gomez also discussed how it hurt to watch documentary footage of her as a child star.
“Knowing I was ever that girl, being able to see that version of myself and watching it back broke my heart,” Gomez remarked.”I wish I could hug her because of that version of me.However, I felt that sharing it was necessary because I wanted people to start talking about this.
The actor from “Wizards of Waverly Place” also had mixed feelings about the pressure of being called a “Disney kid” so early in her career.
According to her, “it wasn’t necessarily my displeasure with Disney itself.”As a result, I was referred to as a “Disney kid.””My experience was wonderful, but the title just kept going, which hurt my feelings,” Gomez stated.”All I want to do now is get over that.I don’t want a doll of me from Target.Simply, I cannot.It seems a little odd.”
Additionally, Gomez discussed her youthful crush on Cole Sprouse.Gomez is depicted as a young woman who confesses her feelings for a fellow Disney Channel star in “My Mind & Me,” despite the fact that the actress claims that she has never done so with the actor.
I find him adorable.”I hope he doesn’t think I’m a weirdo,” she said.
