2. The Bad Girl
Since she left the life of a Disney star, Selena has worked really hard to get rid of that good girl image. After all, she wants to be an actress and sometimes that means showing your bad girl side as well. When it comes to stars transitioning from being child actors, it can be difficult not to be type-casted in that role.
Look at James Van Der Beek from Dawson’s Creek, he never really got away from that “nice guy” image that everyone saw him as. He even had to make a TV series based off of himself as a struggling actor trying to get his next big break in Don’t Trust the B in Apartment 23. Great show, but kind of sad when you know, it’s true.
The same could easily have happened to Selena, like most young girls they try to become adults long before they need to in the hopes that they will be seen as grown-ups and different from their childhood roles.
