Selena Gomez Says Dad Is ‘SO PROUD’ of Her Spanish in ‘Emilia Pérez’ (Exclusive)

There's so much to celebrate about this film, but I want to take a moment to say you look stunning. Oh, thank you so much! Can we celebrate this dress as well? Thank you! We can! I don't know who to buy. Who's this dress by? We will find out! We will find out, folks. We will find out, you know, and the jewels and just look stunning. I mean, I hope you feel as confident and beautiful as you look. Thank you so much. I really feel like this has been such a blessing in this movie. I hope people understand the meaning behind it and enjoy it. And I couldn't be more grateful to Jacques for giving me this opportunity as an actor. So I hope this is just the beginning. Oh my goodness. It is just the beginning. And we have watched you evolve as an artist. And I feel like we celebrate you at every turn. But I feel like this film is special in that it's a culmination of all the things you've worked so hard for. Is that what it is to you? Yeah, it is. It truly is. I had never really performed the kind of dances that were displayed on the movie. But it was fun. And it felt like a release. And screaming the songs and just being passionate was great. And it was a kind of speaking Spanish and homage to your heritage. Yes. It meant the world to me that he trusted me with that. And it meant a lot to my family. Talk to me about the family. Did they give you any advice? Any coaching? I had coaches, yes. And we communicated every day in Spanish. But yeah, my dad was even so proud. He was like, no, you're texting me, mija. And I'm like, yeah, I'm texting you in Spanish. Oh, I love it. Yes. We saw you get so emotional. What was it like to meet Jack? Well, we had never seen the movie, the cast. So I didn't know what to expect. I trust Jack completely. But I was sitting down and I was really nervous because I didn't know what the reaction was going to be after. So to see that happen, I was actually more tearful for Carla because she put her whole being into this. And she just deserves all the praise. And I was shocked. It was beautiful. It was a beautiful moment. And Trace as well. And Trace is coming. So we're talking about you and the same Oscar nominations. Is this going to happen? I don't know. We'll see about that. What does that feel like? I truly feel honored that it's even being acclaimed the way that it is. It's such a beautiful story. So if anything, this is my proudest moment, for sure. Oh, my goodness. That means a lot coming from you. Amazing. Well, enjoy every moment. Thank you so much.
