Selena Gomez admits she still feels “awkward” wearing a bikini.
The 18-year-old actress and singer - who is dating teen heartthrob Justin Bieber –is still conscious of her body as she grows into womanhood.
When asked if she feels under pressure to be sexy as she grows up, Selena told Time magazine: “Now that I am getting older I'm becoming a woman, and I want to explore that side of myself - but I still get awkward if I'm in a bikini so I don't think I'll be doing anything too drastic anytime soon.”
The ‘Bang Bang Bang’ singer also goes out of the way to be personable and welcoming toward her fans.
She explained: “Sometimes fans for male pop stars or actors can be a little crazy. I was that way with Jesse McCartney from N'Sync.
“But I could probably have lunch with every single one of my fans. I like that I don't seem unapproachable and that they're not trying to get with me.”
Selena did, however, suffer a backlash on the internet when it was revealed she was dating Justin, but has taken it all in her stride.
She added: “Half of these girls are saying things they would never say to someone's face.
“I'm human, so of course it hurts my feelings, but ultimately, I got to the point where I laugh at it.”
