"Liv & Maddie" Star Dove Cameron on Disney Movie 'Cloud 9'

I'm here on the Young Hollywood sofa with the lovely Dove Cameron. How are you?

I am wonderful. How are you?

She's wonderful. She just brought like this burst of energy into the studio. Ho ho! See, you can do that better than me because you're a singer as well, aren't you?

No, no, no. Honestly, I could learn a few lessons from you. That was a brilliant high note.

Was that good?

Yeah, it's great. Brought tears to my eyes. Oh, gorgeous. Ah, lovely. Chills.

I'm on cloud nine. Ah! Ah! I like how I did that. It was a good segue. That's a segue, people. Segue. America, that's what we call a segue. Um, yes, Cloud Nine. Yeah, your new movie.

Yes. Yes.

It's snowboarding. You're a snowboarder.

I'm a snowboarder.

You are a snowboarder, Kayla. Kayla Morgan who you, uh, you get cut from the snowboarding team.

Yes, unceremoniously dropped.

A bit of an emotional rollercoaster. Yeah. I was sad for you. But she gets cut from the team and then you end up working in a dog grooming shop.

Yes.

And that's why we're going to get you to groom Georgie. Oh, really? During the interview. I'm just kidding.

Guys, I came dressed for it. Oh, okay. That was a letdown.

Would you say she's like yourself?

Um, I mean, you know, every single character that that an actor plays has to have a little bit of yourself in them to even be in the realm of believability. But Kayla and I, there's hardly anything that Kayla and I have in common, except she has a crazy high, um, level of resilience. Okay. Which I think and hope that I would possess. Just like, you know, sort of what you're required to have as an actor. To be able to be told no over and over and over again and continuously bounce back.

How was it snowboarding in the in the movie? Because you do snowboard in the movie. Right. Were you a snowboarder?

Well, I, because I've been snowboarding since I was like, seven.

Really?

Yeah. So I'm thinking that I'm gonna, you know, like go to training camp and it's gonna be a thing and I'm gonna be able to say I did all my own stunts. And I think you can catch me snowboarding in Cloud Nine for about three seconds. Okay. Yeah. And the rest of it was like a litany of of stunt doubles. To keep me safe. I had like seven stunt doubles. Some of which were men. Okay. Fun fact.

And the movie was produced by Ashley Tisdale.

Yes, Ashley Tisdale.

Who's obviously come from the Disney world as well. Right. Bona fide Disney kid. You're very well known on Disney, with the Disney world. Has she given you some, uh, some advice on being like a rising star in in this world of Hollywood?

She has given me little tidbits of advice, you know, just about, um, putting yourself out there organically and never altering yourself and remembering what it actually is about, which, which has been an issue for me. Um, during certain times, just sort of, especially with the rise of technology and the rise of social media, it's it's really easy to get caught up in things that are accessories to the job, but are not the job. Right. So it's yeah, she's she's been really great to me. She's been, um, she's been a great mentor.

And we mentioned the Disney Liv and Maddie. Yes. Um, you play twins.

I play twins.

It's very interesting, isn't it? Playing two people. Identical twins. Yeah. That's a that's a big weight to carry and you've done it very well.

And, uh, I I think it's being well received. It is. And the cast is like my family, so it's it's very, very much a dream come true.

Well, we're going to play a little game then. So, obviously you play twins. We're going to say who said it. Okay. You have to say whether it is Liv or Maddie.

Oh my gosh. Oh no.
