19. She Turned Down 'High School Music 3'
Selena Gomez could have joined Ashley Tisdale and Zac Efron in HSM3, but she passed. "High School Musical 3 is cute, and I think it would be a great opportunity for someone else.

After Disney, I want to be taken seriously as an actress for many years," she said in 2008.
20. She Voiced 90 Characters in One Movie
At 15, Gomez voiced 90 Whos in Horton Hears a Who, starring Jim Carrey and Steve Carrell. She played Carrell's daughters in the 2008 animated flick, but never actually got to meet the actor. "It was kind of a bummer!" she said. "But at the same time, it was cool. I can see him and say 'Hey, I played your daughter!'"
21. She Had to Learn Two British Accents
Gomez spent weeks learning two different British accents for her 2011 role in Monte Carlo. The actress played Grace in the flick, a girl who gets mistaken for a socialite while vacationing in Paris. "Accent training was the hardest thing on top of learning lines," she said.
