Selena Gomez is planning a change of direction. The 18-year-old of Wizards of Waverly Place star says she wants to take on more challenging roles when it comes to her acting career.

“Honestly I just would like to perhaps step out of comedy,” Selena revealed.

“I would love to do different genres. I don’t want to be stuck in one. Anything that would challenge me as an actress, I’m down for.”

Selena recently admitted she hates going on dates.

“I don’t actually like dates. I get awkward as I never know what to do,” she said.

“I still get butterflies and wobbly legs around a boy I like.

“The best thing is to be very open and don’t shut yourself off.

“Enjoy being young.”
