Selena Gomez has insisted that she "loves" not having blonde hair and blue eyes.
The Ramona And Beezus star, who is of Mexican descent, has insisted that it’s important for young girls to see that they can still succeed while not having the standard 'Hollywood look'.
Speaking to Global Grind, she said: "I’m very proud of my background and where I come from. When I was younger I thought I had to have blue eyes and blonde hair and be white to [succeed], I know how some girls feel inside.
"I know they think if they want to be an actress or a singer they have to have those qualities. For me, I love not having blonde hair or blue eyes to prove that we all don’t have to look that way."
Gomez recently cancelled several upcoming concert dates because of strained vocal cords.
