Selena Gomez is playing Linda Ronstadt in a biopic.
The news were confirmed after Gomez shared a photo of a Ronstadt book in her Instagram stories. It’s an exciting moment for fans, who’ve been suggesting for a while that Gomez would be perfect to play the part of Ronstadt in a film due to their similar physical appearances and Mexican heritage.
The news were confirmed by Rolling Stone after Gomez shared a photo on her Instagram stories. The photo shows Gomez’s hand right next to Ronstadt’s musical memoir, “Simple Dreams,” suggesting that she’s in the midst of reading it.
Last year, different gossip websites shared that Gomez was in talks to play Ronstadt in a biopic. Gomez has discussed her resemblance to Ronstadt and has revealed that she’s a fan of her music. In a radio interview with Ryan Seacrest, Gomez shared that Ronstadt was an inspiration for her “Revival” cover art, which shows her vulnerable and almost naked in front of the camera. “I always used to get told that I looked like her,” said Gomez. “And I started listening to her because of that.”
Gomez’s focus on her acting career
A couple of weeks ago, Gomez was featured on the “SmartLess” podcast, where she discussed her career as a singer and actress. “The older I get, the more I’m kind of like, ‘I would like to find something to just settle on,’” she said when discussing both professions. “I do feel like I have one more album in me, but I would probably choose acting.”
Over the course of her career Gomez has released three solo studio albums. She’s also released three records alongside her band, Selena Gomez & The Scene. As an actress, she’s been featured in various movies and TV Shows, earning nominations for her work in the series “Only Murders In the Building,” where she also serves as producer.
