Former ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ Star Says Selena Gomez Was ‘Appalled’ By Their First Onscreen Kiss

LOADING ERROR LOADING Former Disney Channel actor Daniel Samonas says his first onscreen kiss with Selena Gomez on “Wizards of Waverly Place” left her feeling the ick. Co-host Jennifer Stone, who played Gomez’s best friend Harper, interjected to explain that a “Disney Kiss” involves actors only sharing a “closed mouth” kiss. “She was dating Nick Jonas at the time, so that was kind of like, ‘Oh, they’re gonna make me kiss another dude,’” he recalled of her reaction, before clarifying, “I can’t speak for anybody else’s opinions or thoughts.” Stone then chimed in to confirm that Gomez was “head over heels” for Jonas at the time. “Wizards of Waverly Pod” co-host David DeLuise, who played Gomez’s dad on the hit show, defended Samonas’ faux pas during the interview.
