Singer-actress Selena Gomez shared that she wanted to “cry” after getting the part in the upcoming film “Emilia Perez”, a French musical crime comedy film directed by Jacques Audiard.

Selena took to Instagram, where she posted a gamut of pictures and videos on Instagram. In a video, the actress is seen saying: “I can’t believe I got the movie… I am so gonna cry right now. I don’t want to cry.. This is going to be so cool.”

She then shared a picture, where she is seen hugging her mother and dress rehearsals. One image seems to be from the film’s set, which also stars Zoe Saldana, Karla Sofía Gascon, Adriana Paz, Mark Ivanir and Edgar Ramírez.

Selena captioned it: “I found out I got the part for @emiliaperezfilm and the sessions in between lol.”

“Emilia Perez” is about a disgruntled lawyer, who is tasked with assisting an escaped Mexican cartel leader in undergoing sex reassignment surgery to both evade the authorities and affirm her gender.

Earlier this month, the singer-actress spoke about being in awe of her co-actress and Hollywood star Meryl Streep.

“She was so excited, and when she came on set, she told everybody that she loves the show, and I don’t even think I spoke the first day she was around, I was just admiring her,” Gomez, who starred alongside the 75-year-old star during season three of “Only Murders in the Building”, said.

“She’s an inspiration, and she’s someone who is incredibly talented while being very humble, professional, and kind. I’ve learned so much from her just by her being Meryl,” she told The Hollywood Reporter.

Gomez, who plays Mabel Mora in the show, added: “ “My favourite moment was watching Meryl sing onstage. That was chilling, and she would do it acappella, live every time, and I cried. I wasn’t in the scene, but I was there sitting in the audience, and I was completely moved and was brought to tears.”

“Just the way she commits to her craft in every way is remarkable. It was beautiful.”
