While Justin Bieber's roast was airing on the small screen, Selena Gomez was testing out motherhood on the big screen.

While Justin Bieber was getting roasted on the small screen, his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez was testing out motherhood on the big screen.

Intending to shock fans on Monday, Gomez's Spring Breakers co-star James Franco Instagrammed a pic of her holding a baby with the caption: "Selene and I had a baby. It was born during Sprang Break."

The pic was from the 22-year-old actress' time on set of her new movie In Dubious Battle, an adaptation of John Steinbeck's 1936 novel of the same name, which Franco is directing.

The film -- also starring Bryan Cranston, Franco himself, Josh Hutcherson and Ashley Greene -- follows an activist that gets caught up in the labor movement for farm workers in California during the 1930s. Gomez portrays Lisa London, a young mother and the daughter-in-law to one of the migrant workers.

In Dubious Battle
is scheduled to hit theaters later this year.
