Ashley Benson felt maternal towards Selena Gomez
Actress Ashley Benson developed protective maternal instincts for co-star Selena Gomez on the set of hit movie Spring Breakers.
Gomez and Benson starred alongside Vanessa Hudgens and James Franco in the movie, about fun-loving college students enjoying a wild spring break holiday, and they developed a very special bond.
Benson admits she felt compelled to protect her co-star from some
of the most explicit aspects of the wild life style they were
attempting to emulate.
She tells Complex magazine, "The four of us were filming this motel
party scene and we had to observe what was going on and be in
character.
"My and Vanessa's characters loved to party, so we couldn’t do
anything to break that persona. But I remember looking over to the
floor at these two girls rolling around and making out completely
naked. At that moment, I literally closed Selena’s eyes. I felt
like I had to mother her.”
