For Heaven’s sake

Selena Gomez wants to raise awareness of mental health issues. The Heart Wants What It Wants hit-maker thinks it's great that the new Hollywood movie Good Times has a 'mental aspect' to it and admits it 'struck' a chord with her.

Speaking to the audience at the ArcLight Hollywood, where she was hosting a screening of the Safdie Brothers' latest movie, she said, ''A little while ago, I was actually on bed rest and it’s probably the worst time to watch Heaven Knows What, or the best time, depending on your mental state. And I ended up becoming extremely fascinated with the boys (director Josh Safdie and producer Sebastian Bear Mc-Clard) and kind of forced them to be my friend. For me personally, I really liked the mental aspect of it, because I’ve done a lot of those exercises that you put in this.”

The film Gomez was referring to during the panel was Heaven Knows What, which is about a homeless heroin addict, who attempts suicide before ending up in a psychiatric hospital.
