A new crop of up-and-coming Latina superstars are starting to take over not just movie/tv screens and the stage but now also magazine covers! Victoria Justice strikes a glamorous pose on the cover of Latina Magazine’s October issue where she talks about working on her first feature film Fun Size which co-stars Chelsea Handler and Johnny Knoxville, who the most important people in her life are, and the cancellation of her Nickelodeon show Victorious.

Here are some excerpts from Victoria’s feature in the “Young Hollywood” issue:

On the unexpected cancelation of her Emmy-nominated hit show, Victorious: “The end of Victorious marked the end of my teenage years. I was 12 years old when I started on Nickelodeon, and I literally have spent all my teen years on the network. I will always be grateful to them, but I’m ready to move on.”

On taking on the lead in Fun Size and where she sees herself next: “A lot of the stuff that was presented to me was fluff,” Justice says. “I was definitely ready [to be the lead of a film]. I’m an actress and I want to be an artist and I’m a songwriter. I want to take on projects that allow me to take my audience with me, but start [transitioning] into slightly more mature material.”

On Friday night dinners with her mother, Serene, and what keeps her grounded: “We eat together and we laugh together, and it’s honestly my favorite day of the week,” Justice says. “My parents got divorced when I was young, but I grew up around the Puerto Rican side of the family, so I’m definitely immersed in that culture.”

The issue will also be available via newsstands, Nook Newsstand & Kindle Fire on September 11th.
