A Movie That Hits You Right in the Feels
Selena Gomez is totally obsessed with Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out 2, and honestly, who can blame her? She spilled her heart out on Amy Poehler’s podcast, Good Hang With Amy Poehler, about how the movie had her and her 12-year-old sister Gracie bawling their eyes out. It’s all because of how real it feels—especially with Anxiety crashing the party in 13-year-old Riley’s head. Selena’s calling it a must-watch for kids, including the ones she hopes to have one day. As a singer, actress, and the brains behind Rare Beauty, she’s all about the film’s raw take on growing up. “It’s so freaking real, I was a mess watching it with my sister,” she said, hyping its power to teach kids about their emotions. Seriously, this movie nails the wild ride of being a teen, and Selena’s already planning to pop it on for her future kiddos.
Anxiety, Boundaries, and Keeping It Real
Selena’s love for Inside Out 2 kicked off a deep chat about life, feelings, and mental health. Amy Poehler, who plays Joy in the flick, totally got why it hits home for all ages—those new emotions like Anxiety are a universal struggle. Selena, who’s gearing up to tie the knot with Benny Blanco, got candid about her own anxiety battles. She admitted it’s super hard to say “no” to fans without overthinking every missed selfie or chat. But she’s got a hunch that’ll change when she’s a mom. “I’m gonna need some solid boundaries to keep my head straight and my kids happy,” she said with a laugh. For now, she’s all heart, but she’s figuring out how to guard her energy—a vibe that screams Inside Out 2’s message about juggling your emotions like a pro.
A Star With a Big Heart and Bigger Dreams
Selena’s juggling a million things—starring in Only Murders in the Building, running Rare Beauty, and dodging paparazzi like a ninja in NYC. On the podcast, Amy and Martin Short, her co-star, couldn’t stop gushing about how kind she is despite the fame circus. But what really stood out was her vision for her future family. She wants her kids to learn empathy and grit, stuff she sees all over Inside Out 2. The movie’s deep dive into growing up mirrors her own path to finding balance and taking care of herself. Unlike her current open-book vibe, she’s ready to get a bit more private as a mom, putting her family’s peace first. Selena’s story is all about strength wrapped in vulnerability, and it’s no wonder she’s shouting from the rooftops that Inside Out 2 is a game-changer for kids everywhere.
