Selena Gomez wants to date a "low key" actor.

The Hands To Myself hitmaker - who enjoyed a very public on/off relationship with Justin Bieber - has revealed she'd like to settle down with someone whose a little less famous but admits those kind of guys are "terrified" of her.

She told Australia's Vogue magazine: "I think people would think it's kind of dumb [to date me]. Nobody would want to throw themselves into that situation where it was so heightened publicly, like, why would they?

"[I'd like a] low-key actor, writer or producer but those kind of guys are terrified of me!"

Meanwhile, the 24-year-old singer previously admitted she is "so done" with her ex-boyfriend but insists she still cares about his "health and well-being".

She said: "At first I didn't care. To me it was: I'm 18, I have a boyfriend, we look cute together, we like that. Then I got my heart broken and I cared. Because people had no idea what was going on, but everywhere it was a million different things. I was kind of in a corner, banging my head against the wall. I didn't know where to go.

"I'm so exhausted [by the constant references to him]. I honestly am so done. I care about his health and well-being. But I can't do it anymore."

And Selena finds it difficult thinking that a potential date might have googled her before they went out.

She added: "I hate it. It's hard and I'm weirded out by the idea that a guy has googled me before we meet, and that has happened. I feel like I look 16 sometimes, which is a bummer because I would love to date older guys."
