“It was a very difficult moment”

Selena Gomez believes her childhood fame “delayed” her development until her 20s.

The “Calm Down” singer, 32, reflected on the impact of being a child star while answering a question about what she wishes she had known before entering show business in an interview with Elle published on Thursday.

“I have no regrets and I have a fantastic family and my parents made rules and I appreciate that,” she told the outlet. “However, I don’t think I would have done it very young if I were thinking about myself now.”

Gómez explained that there were “many things” for which she “felt stunted.”

“Then adding a lot of pressure from a lot of people didn’t help me develop a sense of identity in my twenties,” he said. “It was a very difficult moment. “I live with it every day.”

The pop star admitted that she tries to look at the glass half full and focus on the projects she loves.

“I try my best to stay positive about everything and focus on things like this that really make me happy,” she said of her new film, “Emilia Pérez.”

“But I would just say maybe wait and have a little bit of life,” he added.
