There is nothing like the old Disney Channel and there's definitely nothing like Wizards of Waverly Place. Everything from the sets to the quirky costumes to the adorable love interests to the hilarious cast was nothing short of iconic. My favorite thing about Wizards of Waverly Place, though, was the celebrity guest stars.
1. Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson - "Art Teacher"
Youtube
Apparently, faking an illness will get you a visit from A list actor and ex-wrestler Dwyane (The Rock) Johnson. At least, that was what Max Russo did. Despite having a superstar status, he was unrecognizable to Alex, who mistook him for a janitor. If I met The Rock, I would never make THAT mistake. I guess that's what makes Alex so down-to-earth.
2. Misty May Treanor - "Art Teacher"
Youtube
For all you volleyball fans, Misty May Treanor's guest appearance was super cool. Just like Dwayne Johnson, the three time Olympic gold medalist also visited Max when he came down with a fake illness. Clearly, Max was doing something right.
3. Shakira - "Dude Looks Like Shakira"
Youtube
This cameo was definitely the most iconic. Like, come on. Shakira? Need I say more? On a Disney Channel television show for children? Okay producers. I see you.
4. Cyndi Crawford - "Fashion Week"
Youtube
So, when Alex messes up Harper's fashion show, she of course uses magic to fix it and get legendary supermodel Bibi Rockford, played by none other than Cyndi Crawford, to walk in the fashion show. When I was a kid, I had no idea who Cyndi Crawford was, but watching this episode now, I am shocked that Disney Channel managed to get her for this cameo. It was totally legendary.
5. Octavia Spencer - "Saving Wiz Tech"
Youtube
Before she won her ACADEMY AWARD for The Help, Octavia Spencer was an evil teacher trying to steal Justin's powers. This just shows this woman's versatility and how actresses get their start in Hollywood.
6. Wilmer Valderrama - "Uncle Ernesto"
We all know Wilmer Valderrama from That 70s Show, but I totally forgot that he played Alex, Justin, and Max's hilarious and handsome Uncle Ernesto in season 3, episode 25. Uncle Ernesto, a character mentioned off and on since season 1, was perfectly cast in my opinion.
7. Bella Thorne
Youtube
Before Shake It Up and before doing whatever she's doing now, Bella Thorne was Max Russo's first girlfriend. They were an adorable couple but only lasted until the end of the episode. Ah, young love. So fleeting.
