Selena Gomez has been taking some interesting roles since leaving
Wizards of Waverly Place. Can you say
Spring Breakers? Well now she's starring in the action thriller
Getaway with
Ethan Hawke. The movie focuses on a man named Brent Magna, played by Hawke, who is a former race-car driver that's forced to drive a car to save his kidnapped wife. So where does Gomez fit in? She plays The Kid, a carjacker who tries to steal the car, but is ultimately forced to team up with Magna to take down the abductor. As serious as this film sounds, the two costars were still able to joke around on set. Gomez told E! News at the
Getaway junket that she taught Hawke how to twerk on set. Naturally Hawke responded, "The only thing that's new about that is the word!" He explained, "People have been shaking their ass [forever]." You've got a good point Ethan. Make sure to check out
Getaway when it hits theaters on August 30th.
