Selena Gomez Says Being On Disney Channel Made Her a Better Actress

Selena Gomez is opening up about her time on the Disney Channel.

The 28-year-old entertainer got her big break on the network in the hit series Wizards of Waverly Place.

Selena recently shared about how it actually shaped her as an actress.

“I was extremely blessed to get picked out of Texas and chosen to become a part of one of the biggest machines in the world — it was my high school,” Selena told Allure.

“I think the female characters on Disney Channel have a lot of strength. And my comedic timing, my improv skills, everything I experienced made me a better actress,” she added.

“When I was 13, I did the pilot for Wizards of Waverly Place,” Selena said. “I moved to L.A. when I was 14. [That] show went for about four and a half years. And I’m still trucking on.”
