Selena Gomez’s Journey to Stardom: From Disney Pilots to “Wizards of Waverly Place”

Before Selena Gomez became a household name as Alex Russo on Disney Channel’s hit show “Wizards of Waverly Place,” she had her fair share of ups and downs in the entertainment industry. In a recent interview with Jake Shane on his “Therapuss” podcast, Gomez opened up about her early days as a child actor and the struggles she faced before landing her breakthrough role.

Gomez revealed that she filmed pilots for spinoffs of two of Disney Channel’s most popular shows, “Lizzie McGuire” and “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,” before finally finding success with “Wizards of Waverly Place.” Despite her initial setbacks, Gomez remained determined to pursue her passion for acting.

“It was actually a weird thing because I was on three pilots for the Disney Channel,” Gomez shared. “One was the spinoff of ‘Lizzie McGuire,’ one was the spinoff of ‘The Suite Life of Zach and Cody,’ and the last one was ‘Wizards.’ So by then, all of them didn’t get picked up, and I was just kind of at my wits’ end.”

In 2005, Gomez was set to star in the “Lizzie McGuire” spinoff “What’s Stevie Thinking?” as Stephanie “Stevie” Sanchez, but the show never made it to air. Similarly, in 2007, she was cast in “Arwin!,” a spinoff centered around the lovable janitor from “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,” but that project also fell through. It wasn’t until Gomez landed the role of Alex Russo in “Wizards of Waverly Place” later that year that her career truly took off.

Reflecting on her experience with child stardom, Gomez acknowledged the challenges of growing up in the spotlight and dealing with constant media scrutiny. Despite the difficulties she faced, Gomez remains proud of her time on Disney Channel and the impact it had on her life.

Now, as “Wizards of Waverly Place” has been rebooted as “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place,” with Gomez serving as an executive producer, she is focused on supporting the young actors on the show and ensuring they have a healthy balance between work and play.

“I look at them and I think, ‘OK, make sure you go and be a kid and do the things you want to do,'” Gomez said. “I believe anyone can follow their dream at any age, but making sure that you have a balance of normality and stability is so crucial to growing up.”

Gomez’s journey from Disney Channel pilot hopeful to successful actress and producer is a testament to her resilience and determination in the face of adversity. Watch her full interview on “Therapuss” for more insights into her career and personal growth.
