Selena Gomez Was Told She Couldn’t Have Her Own Show

Selena Gomez revealed during a recent interview that when she was younger she was told by a casting director that she wouldn’t be able to carry her own show because she wasn’t a strong enough actress. Looks like Selena proved them wrong!

When I was 11, I had a casting director say to me, ‘You’re not strong enough to carry your own show. You’re not strong enough to be part of the Disney Channel.’ I cried all the time afterwards but I just kept on working hard. Whenever you have a goal, whether you want to be a doctor or a singer, people will find a way to bring you down. I always tell people that if you have something you’re really passionate about, don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do it.
