Ryan and I got in from New Jersey at like 3AM last night. And so he was like, "Is there any way where I could sleep?" And I was like, "Yeah, my sister's with me today."

Young Hollywood

Oh, love it, love it. Oh my God. We were just saying your hair actually got blonder. I didn't know if it could get blonder.

Dove Cameron

I know. You're so blonde already. I'm hoping it's not gonna like fall out. It's like really blonde. I think I damaged it, but I'm happy with it.

Young Hollywood

What made you do it? It looks amazing.

Dove Cameron

On Liv and Maddie, I played the twins. Yeah. And because it was two different people, we had to wear these like half wigs to make sure that we always looked the same from behind. And the wig color was set. And so I couldn't dye my hair for like four years. Until I was like, yeah. I just wanna.

Young Hollywood

Are you serious? So you're one of those lucky people who's just like naturally, you don't have to ever do highlights, like you just are naturally blonde?

Dove Cameron

I like highlights. I think because I'm so pale, they brighten me up. I just wanted something new.

You just look like a snow angel. I think I would call you a snow angel right now.

Dove Cameron

Thank you. I'm looking for some snow in this like 180.

Dove Cameron

Right, yeah. I love the TCAs.

Young Hollywood

Anyone? It's like all your friends, like pretty much all your friends are here, but is there somebody you are fan girling over, like if you met that you haven't met yet?

Dove Cameron

I think I just saw John Stamos, and so I was kinda like,

Young Hollywood

Um, yes, he was here. I think he was all white. He was like matching you perfectly. Heck yeah. You need to get a selfie situation with that.

Dove Cameron

But I always fan girl over Laverne Cox, no matter how many times I see her. She's so pretty.

We release our EP, so I'm really excited about that. Um, and so I'm really heavily immersed in music right now. I'm loving John Bellion.

Young Hollywood

And then lastly, is there like an awkward teen moment that you you must have at least. An awkward teen moment?

Dove Cameron

Yes.

Young Hollywood

Like back since it's Teen Choice Awards, was there something that you look back on, you're like, I can't believe that happened to me, or that I actually did that.

Dove Cameron

Well, okay. This wasn't teen because I was pretty young, but in middle school, I had this huge crush on this boy, and I'd never dated anybody. And so I sewed him a tie, and decided that that was gonna be my in with him. And I was like, you know, if you like, I'd wrote him this long letter, and I was like, "If you like your present, like meet me on the kickball field or something." And then when he showed up, he was like, "Hey, so are we dating now?" And I was like, "Oh, I don't know." Then he was like, "All right, I'm gonna go back and do recess." And then we never spoke again.

Young Hollywood

So cute. So sad. Oh my God. How could anyone not accept your tie?

Dove Cameron

My tie. I think it had palm trees on it. Like, who does this guy think he is, right?

Young Hollywood

Do you think he still has it? Is he still wearing it and he's like, "If only I had dated Dove." Like Shout out.

Dove Cameron

He was my first kiss though. We ended up getting back. We came back in like eighth grade.

Young Hollywood

Oh, okay. So the tie works.

Dove Cameron

The tie works. Tie totally worked. It just had a slow effect.

Young Hollywood

Oh, okay. It just took a while. A slow reaction. Oh my God, well thank you so much for hanging out. So good to see you.
