Selena Gomez: The Sister Story of Ramona & Beezus is Very Sweet

Beverly Cleary's beloved books about the mischevious Ramona Quimby are coming to life on the big screen in Ramona & Beezus on July 23.

The movie stars Joey King as Ramona and Selena Gomez as her big sister Beezus. Selena is an only child, but loved the sister dynamic of the movie.

She shared, "Ramona and Beezus are probably as different as different can be. We don't like each other in the beginning, and kind of annoy one another, and then towards the end we realize that we kind of need each other. I think the sister story behind it is very sweet."

Joey added, "[Selena] would be an awesome older sister for me. ... She definitely is like a big sister to me. I look up to her."


Josh Duhamel and John Corbett also star in the movie and opened up about their co-stars. Josh said of his fictional neighbor, "[Ramona's] just this open little spirit that really wants to do the right thing ... and sometimes her imagination gets the best of her and she screws up."

Meanwhile, John had no idea how big Selena Gomez was, "I had no idea she was such a big star; I'd show up and I'd think, 'How sweet, these kids came out to see me? Out of the way old man! Can you get us Selena Gomez' autograph?"

Ramona & Beezus opens on July 23. Are you excited?
