Zara Jirgis has been seen on General Hospital and has appeared in many exciting projects recently! Her latest additions to her resume include Universal Studios Japan, Jimmy Kimmel Live, playing a young Selena Gomez, and new work for Disney!

1. How do you enjoy getting to attend events?
I love attending event, because I enjoy new experiences, meeting new people and making more friends. I love being in front of the camera.

2. What do you like the most about walking the red carpet?
I love taking photos, so it feels right at home.

3. How did you react seeing your Universal Studios Japan commercial when it came out?
When I saw my Universal Studios Japan commercial for the new Nintendo World for the first time I was extremely excited! I had thought it would be for a 30 second spot, but it was almost 2 minutes long and also part of a music video. All the memories came rushing back to those full 5 days of filming which I can honestly saw was the best time! I had so much fun shooting all those days and made some friends for life.

4. What was your shoot for Intex like?
My shoot for Intex was very fun as I was able to shoot with many familiar faces. When I auditioned for it I honestly didn’t think that I would have booked it but I did!

5. What was the experience like filming a comedy skit for Jimmy Kimmel Live?
Filming a comedy skit for Jimmy Kimmel Live was such a fun experience. Everyone on set was very nice and I loved how I got to experience all the holidays at once. The location was a beach front and I remember after we were done filming, they let us enjoy the amazing beach front swimming pool for a while. I can’t wait for more opportunities to be in more skits for Jimmy Kimmel Live.

6. How did you feel when you found out you booked the role of Young Selena Gomez for her Artist Spotlight?
When I booked the role of young Selena Gomez for her Artist Spotlight, I honestly didn’t know that it was for Selena Gomez as casting did not disclose who the artist was. I had a gut feeling that it was for Selena Gomez because I have a lot of people saying I resemble her at a young age. So when I got on set that was when I found out I was right! That I was booked for you Selena Gomez! I was so happy and couldn’t believe it!

7. What was your time on set like filming the project?
Filming the Selena Gomez Spotlight was very calming. Everything was quiet, everyone was separated from everyone due to covid protocol and lots of green screen time.

8. What was your favorite part getting to work for Disney’s Reimagine Tomorrow video?
My favorite part getting to work with Disney’s Reimagine Tomorrow was getting to work with my Disney family. I have worked for Disney since I was 4 years old and Disney has become family to me. I loved being able to play hide and seek for it!

9. What is the craziest thing you have done for an audition?
I haven’t really had to do anything crazy during an audition. Only thing I can think of is me having to sing and dance at the same time knowing I sound horrible because I can’t sing.

10. What has been your most memorable project you’ve worked on?
I have two memorable projects I’ve worked on. The first one has to be my first Shop Disney Halloween commercial and the second one has to be the Universal Studios Japan Nintendo World commercial!
