Actress, singer, and producer Selena Gomez proudly celebrated her Mexican heritage following ‘Emilia Pérez”s Golden Globe win for Best Musical or Comedy. Despite being one of her most controversial projects—even drawing criticism from Eugenio Derbez, who later apologized—Gomez continues to defend the movie, highlighting her deep connection to it. Looking beyond the awards she hopes to win in 2025, Gomez expressed pride in representing her Mexican roots by acting in Spanish. She said she considers it an honor to pay tribute to her paternal grandmother and great-grandmother, who overcame significant challenges in their lives. Gomez also emphasized her hard work in portraying her character in the film. “I always give my best and work hard. I’m very passionate and love what I do,” she said.
