Wizards of Waverly Place Star: Selena's Like My Little Sister!

They're all grown up now! The actor is reuniting with Selena Gomez again for the revival of the hit Disney series

For David Henrie, reuniting with his Wizards of Waverly Place costar Selena Gomez for the highly anticipated sequel Wizards Beyond Waverly Place was everything he'd hoped for and more. "It was magic," says the 35-year-old actor, who's reprising his role as brainy wizard Justin Russo in the upcoming Disney series. (Selena, 32, is back for the pilot as his rebellious younger sibling, Alex; she's also serving as an exec producer) "We're older, but at the same time, it felt like not a moment had passed." 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 In Touch's Katie Bruno about returning to Disney, dodging the child-star curse and fatherhood.
