TeenHollywood: Hutch Dano of "Zeke and Luther" plays your boyfriend Henry in the movie. Had you worked with him before? Did you get to have a say in his casting? Selena: He actually auditioned for my show ("Wizards of Waverly Place") a couple of times and I'd see him a lot. He's friends with Jennifer (Stone) so he would come on my set and hang out. So, when he got the part, he texted me and was like 'hey, I got the part' and I was like 'Oh my gosh. I'm so stoked'. So, I really had a great time with him. It was nice to have someone I knew and was comfortable with.
TeenHollywood: Ramona, age nine, has a big imagination and she colors outside the lines in life. Were you like that at her age and, if so, are you still?
Selena: Yes, absolutely. I mean I am still a kid but not completely. I love being silly and enjoying the fact that I don't have responsibilities in my home. I definitely feel like I can be a kid.
TeenHollywood: For those who haven't read the books or seen the film yet, why is your character named Beezus? Such a weird name.
Selena: When she was little, she couldn't say Beatrice so it became Beezus.
TeenHollywood: Makes sense. Was the water fight in the movie (guys vs. girls) as much fun as it looked or did you just have to dry off, then get wet and shoot it over and over?
Selena: We didn't have to get dry and reshoot. We did it at the end of the day and everybody was so competitive. We were genuinely fighting so it was really fun. It was cold in Vancouver at the time. It was still early Spring and we were kind of freezing. I'm surprised nobody got sick.
