David Henrie Reveals What It Was Like Reuniting With Selena Gomez for ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ Reboot

David Henrie opens up about reuniting with costar Selena Gomez for the Wizards of Waverly Place reboot during an exclusive interview with Life & Style.

“It was magic,” the 35-year-old actor exclusively tells Life & Style, who’s reprising his role as brainy wizard Justin Russo in the upcoming Disney series. While all of the former cast members have stayed in touch since the beloved show went off the air after four seasons in 2012, David says he and Selena share a special bond: “She was always like my little sister.” Here, the dad of three (he and his wife of seven years, former Miss Delaware Maria Cahill, are parents to Pia, 5, James, 3, and Gemma, 2) talks to Life & Style’ s Katie Bruno about returning to Disney, dodging the child-star curse and fatherhood. I’d let her do something I’m producing where I control the environment, but I’d hold off on putting her in the grind with all the auditions and multiple things a week.
