The ‘Only Murderer In The Building’ star was reportedly the first choice for Disney’s ‘Camp Rock’. But she turned down the role for her bestie Demi Lovato. During that time, Selena and Demi used to be the best of friends as they started their Disney careers at roughly the same time too.
This interesting fact was revealed by David DeLuise. DeLuise played Selena Gomez’s character Alex’s father in ‘Wizards Of Waverly Place’. Speaking to Wildchat Sports, David said, “I’ve never really said this story, but they offered Camp Rock to Selena.” He added, “Selena knew that if she passed on it, Demi would get the part. So she passed on it, which was very nice of her to do.”
