about @HilaryDuff, Paolo's singing voice, what his character's doing now and more. https://t.co/DT1q1ZFBy8
The cinematic masterpiece was slated to be a DCOM but execs decided to release the film in movie theaters due to Lizzie's popularity. We saw stern Miss Ungermeyer, dumbass Ethan Craft and of course sneaky ass Paolo on the big screen and instantly fell in love with the soon to be AFI classic. Yani Gellman who played asshole Paolo, spills secrets from the set and describes working with 'walking/vacationing' queen Hilary Duff. Paolo had no idea what the fuck Lizzie McGuire was and sent in a self audition tape prior to getting the role. Paolo who's actually Canadian said he worked with dialect coaches to perfect his olive garden Italian accent. Paolo sang the ballad version of "This Is What Dreams Are Made Of", with Hilary's sister Haylie
