Selena Gomez, who has been acting since she was a child, turns 30 today, July 22. Despite her young age, Gomez has had time to make a long career as an actress and singer.
Selena rose to fame from Disney’s youth series such as Hannah Montana and Wizards of Waverly Place. She became one of the most followed public figures when she started her on-off relationship with singer Justin Bieber in the early 2010s.
The couple broke up in 2018. Since then, Selena has been quieter about her private life, but hasn’t escaped relationship speculation. He is rumored to be dating a model and an actress Cara Delevigne with.
Both star in the Netlix series Only Murders in the Building released last year, which Selena is currently promoting on her Instagram account.
Child actor
Gomez started acting at the age of 10. Her first role was in Barney & Friends where she played Gianna. Demi Lovato, known as a child star, also starred in the same series.
The young actor got his first Disney role in 2006 when he was 14 years old. It was a visit to The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. A year after the casting, Gomez landed a permanent role alongside Miley Cyrus in the Hannah Montana series.

After Disney’s youth films and series, the actor’s career continued with music as well. Gomez released her first album in 2009. Since then she has made several albums.
As a singer, his most famous songs are Kill Em With Kindness and Come & Get It. Gomez revealed last year that she is unlikely to continue her music career. In the background are the negative aspects of publicity and the fact that he still has the stamp of a Disney child star.
However, Gomez did not remain just a child star, as her acting career still continues. The actor will be seen, among other things, in the series Only Murders in the Building, which began in 2021. He has also voiced in recent animated films.

The shadow of publicity
Going public at a young age has had its shadow in Gomez’s life. He has spoken openly about them. The actor-singer was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2020.
Gomez, who suffered from substance abuse problems and anxiety, found the diagnosis comforting.
– I am happier than ever, he stated at the time.

Before that, the singer spent two long periods in mental health treatments in 2016 and 2018. In between the years, he underwent critical surgery. Gomez suffers from ankylosing spondylitis, a chronic autoimmune disease.
He had to have his kidney removed due to illness. Her friend and actress Francia Raísa donated her second kidney, which saved Selena’s life. Serious illness and recovery from surgery caused Selena to cancel her European concert tour at that time.
The years in the public eye have taken a toll on the actor mentally. In the spring of this year, the actor revealed that he doesn’t use social media or the Internet very much, even though he is the sixth most followed person on Instagram.

– I haven’t been on the internet for four and a half years. It has completely changed my life. I am happier, I am more present. I find a better connection with people. It makes me feel normal, she said in an interview with Good Morning America.
However, the actress has not let her health problems discourage her, and she continues to act. Gomez is already attached to upcoming roles, such as a production called In the Shadow of the Mountain.
