David Henrie is the wholesome dad we all need!

The 31-year-old former Wizards of Waverly Place star and This Is The Year director recently took part in reading his thirst tweets, and it’s a must watch.

David responded to some with the perfect replies that would come from a dad, and we can’t get over how sweet he is!

“Justin Russo was on my top 3 ‘hot white boys’ list in high school. His glo up was so sexy to me,” the tweet read.

David replied with, “Here’s the thing about that… I don’t know what a glo up is.

Another funny one is, “Are we just gonna ignore the fact that David Henrie aka Justin Russo is a complete daddy now.”

“That’s right, I am a daddy. I very much have a little girl. She’s really cute,” he responded. “You might be using daddy in a different way, that again, I’m like not privy to. I have a feeling there might be a little bit of that there, and I’m not sure what to do with that.”

David Henrie is sharing his ideas for a Wizards of Waverly Place reboot!

The 31-year-old actor and director opened up about the possibility of a reboot while promoting his upcoming directorial debut This Is The Year.

“We’ve talked about it, Gregg [Sulkin], Selena [Gomez], me, Jake [T. Austin], and I think what we said what made the show special, was that we were a family, and that the family stuff together was like a family unit,” David told Access. “I think a great place to start the show would be the opposite version of that, so you have somewhere to go throughout the series. So if you started the show where the family’s divided, and not united…”

“Justin’s off doing his thing at Wiz Tech, he’s probably got a family, he’s busy with his duties. Alex is like a fashionista, like the Meryl Streep of the wizard world. She’s doing her thing. Jake (Max) is like a sub shop conglomerate, like he’s the Subway of sub shops,” David continued. “If you have everyone in their own world, doing their own stuff, and we had forgotten how to be a family, that would be a great place to start the show. And also, Alex, one of the big things is Alex can’t find love, until Mason (Gregg) comes back in the picture.”

David also dished that the cast talks about a reboot all the time.

“Nothing has happened yet, but there’s a lot of talk,” he said. “We all talk about it for fun… Everyone would be down, but it’s just a matter of time I think.”

WOWP star David Henrie revealed that the singer visited Selena Gomez on set once and ended up singing for the audience.

During a game of Wizards trivia with Gregg Sulkin and Jennifer Stone in a new YouTube video, they were asked, “Which Disney Channel star sang amongst a live audience during a live taping? Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Raven Symone or Hilary Duff,” and David revealed it was Demi.

“That was Selena‘s friend and she brought her to the taping, and she was sitting in the audience,” David said. “There was a break between shooting and out of nowhere, just this voice from heaven just belted out in the audience on the microphone, insanely gorgeous voice singing, I think Christina Aguilera, better than Christina.”

“All the network executives at Disney went…” he added, while turning around and going, “Hm?!”
