BOP and Tiger Beat had an exclusive sit down with Selena Gomez to talk about her new movie, Monte Carlo. The movie comes out in theaters next Friday, but Sel spilled some unknown secrets only to us about pranks on the set and why she was so nervous!
BOP&TB: How was filming Monte Carlo different then filming Wizards of Waverly Place?
Selena: With this whole movie in general, I felt like I needed to put my game on a lot more. I always work so hard with my acting, but when I found out Nicole Kidman was producing it and all of the other actors were going to be a part of it, I was kind of freaking out a bit! During filming, I was so nervous everyday. I would always go up to my mom between scenes and ask her, “Was that scene okay?”
BOP&TB: Did anyone pull pranks on the Monte Carlo set?
Selena: Leighton Meester is actually kind of a prankster! She would constantly say something like, “Oh, I have to go right now — I have to leave.” I would be worried and think something terrible happened, but then she would say, “Just kidding!” She’s just that kind person and she’s just so funny.
BOP&TB: You play two different characters in the movie — how was that?!
Selena: I play a British heiress and a Texas girl. One of them fortunately is very easy for me — the Texas girl! But playing a British heiress was very nerve-wracking, because of course that’s very far from who I am. But the producers and directors and everyone else on the set were so wonderful and helped me so much.
TELL US: Will you see Monte Carlo when it’s released next Friday, July 1?
