- Hi, I'm Dove Cameron,
and this is the Wired
[keyboard clicking] Autocomplete Interview.
[upbeat music]
Sitting at home in her pajamas,
way more of a slob than you thought she was.
Who is Dove Cameron?
I ask myself that every day.
Who does Dove Cameron look like?
People have often said that I look related to
Amanda Seyfried, and I can sort of see it,
like in the sense that we are usually both
blond with green eyes and, I don't know, big cheeks.
She's really beautiful.
Also, I think the fact that I played Sophie in Mamma Mia!
in a live production and she played it in the movie,
probably an easy
[nails tapping]
go-to.
Who is Dove Cameron, Liv or Maddie?
Y'all.
I mean, I've never tried to play twins before.
It was complicated at first,
in the first season it was complicated because
we still had the same amount of time as every other sitcom,
like on the Disney lot we still only,
we had three days rehearsal, two days filming,
and we had to do everything twice.
So that was a little crazy.
Disney was like, you have three days to film,
it's totally fine, and then they asked us
to do it once in two days, 'cause obviously,
it's like way less expensive, and then they were like,
Oh, so you can do it?
Do it like that forever!
And it was so hard for the first season,
and then we figured it out,
and then it was like second nature.
I'm gonna be answering this question 'til I die.
Who is Dove Cameron related to?
Do you know what I get all the time?
Are you related to Cameron Diaz, and I'm like,
you do know that there's
a first name-second name thing happening there.
Who does Dove Cameron play in Angry Birds?
I play Ella, the dove.
I think she actually is a dove.
That was really cute of them, I think.
It's a very interesting game.
What was Dove Cameron's first acting job?
Do you want me to actually answer it?
Ugh, what was my first speaking role?
I don't know, I mean like for me
a bunch of things happened at once.
I did a two-episode arc on Shameless
right around the same time that I did The Mentalist,
right around the same time that I did Malibu Country,
so I did a bunch of guest stars when I first started.
What is Dove Cameron's favorite Disney princess?
I feel like my favorite Disney princess
growing up was probably Ariel.
I'll stick with that.
I think Mal, now after Descendants 3,
is considered a Disney princess, so that's pretty cute.
What is Dove Cameron's favorite number?
Why do you guys care about this?
I don't even know what that is,
what's Dove Cameron's fave, oh, 11, probably 11,
'cause 1 is at 1 with itself.
What is Dove Cameron doing now?
Talking to you.
That's so funny that people would Google that.
What is Dove Cameron doing now, like Google's gonna know.
[laughing]
What is Dove Cameron like in real life?
I hear she's really difficult to work with.
Oh, oh no, complicated.
What state does Dove Cameron live in?
I can almost guarantee you, anybody who you wanna know
what state they live in, is either California or New York,
[chuckling]
pretty much guarantee you.
I mean, not, obviously not always, but.
What is Dove Cameron's zodiac sign?
I'm a Capricorn.
Do you know what's super silly about
me and the zodiac sign is I don't really
buy into it that much, but I have two zodiac tattoos?
I don't know, I feel like humans are such a broad spectrum
that we can find ourselves in every zodiac sign,
but I will say I find a lot of the same signs in my life,
which is why I'm like, oh that's weird.
All my best, like my women are all Aries,
and all of my super compatible
soulmate people are all Taurus.
Repetitive, gotta be something to it, right?
What is Dove Cameron's vocal range?
[low vocalizing]
[high vocalizing]
There you go.
[laughing]
How to draw Dove Cameron.
I can't even draw anything more complex than a stick figure
in front of a house with a sun.
Like, when people are like draw something,
that's what I draw, or I draw the Superman S.
You know, like when you were in middle school
and you did the three lines and you're like,
Oh, it's crazy, it turns into a S.
That's what I can draw.
How does Dove Cameron play two roles?
You get a body double who's your height,
your general body size, and then we all wore wigs,
'cause everybody's hair looks different.
Even if you have the same hair color,
your hair texture and length and,
and then whenever I was Maddie,
my body double Emmy would play Liv,
and then when I was Liv,
my body double Shelby would play Maddie.
Whenever you see me on camera, it's always me.
It's never another girl, but if you see me hugging somebody,
that's a body double.
It's, it's a long story.
Camera trickery.
How old is Dove Cameron today?
23 years, eight months, and six days.
I just walk around knowing that,
just like to keep it in my head.
How to get Dove Cameron hair.
Many, many hours of professional work
that I have nothing to do with.
Oh, that's intimidating.
They all look the same, but there are many variables.
Is Dove Cameron a twin?
No.
Is Dove Cameron perfect?
No.
[laughing]
Not even close.
Is Dove Cameron British?
No.
That's, these are so interesting to me,
like I want to know what prompts these questions,
'cause you just walk around being your
stupid, silly, dorky self on a daily basis,
walking around drinking coffee and eating whatever you eat,
protein bars mostly, and then people are like, is she?
You don't think that these people
are thinking these things about you.
Is Dove Cameron Russian?
Yeah, considering where my family is from,
a lot of my family, my bloodline comes
from Russia and France, so in that sense, yah,
but also I think Hungarian.
I think those are my three.
Is Dove Cameron on Broadway?
Not currently, but I am at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion
in Los Angeles reprising my role of Clara Johnson
in The Light in the Piazza.
Is Dove Cameron related to James Cameron?
Can you imagine?
[laughing]
This whole time, I've been like shh, don't say anything.
No, I'm not related to James Cameron.
That'd be amazing, though.
Anybody who's related to James Cameron
would have the craziest life.
I feel like you'd go on many adventures
if you were related to James Cameron.
He's kind of amazing.
Is Dove Cameron real?
What if you just went straight through my skin,
just phew, she's been a hologram this whole time.
Does Dove Cameron snowboard in Cloud 9?
So here's the deal with that.
I can snowboard, but in Cloud 9,
because you're doing a movie, you can't get
injured as an actor and so they don't actually
let you do any of what you see on camera usually.
Some people do their own stunts, but I am not trained,
and so no, I am not snowboarding in Cloud 9.
Last little tidbit about that,
we had seven different body doubles on Cloud 9
and two of them were men with a long fake blond braid,
[giggling]
so shout out to the many people who make it look
like I'm really good at snowboarding.
Does Dove Cameron know how to skateboard?
That's the most left of field question.
I don't feel like I've ever even been
photographed on a skateboard.
I don't even feel like I know anybody who has a skateboard.
No, I definitely don't know how to skateboard.
Does Dove Cameron have tattoos?
I have nine tattoos as of today.
My first tattoo was here.
It's a Capricorn sign on my hip.
My next tattoo, I got when I was 18,
it's a Gemini sign on my other hip.
It's exactly parallel.
My next tattoo, I got when I was 20 with Thomas.
It's a sun on the inside of my finger.
He got a matching one.
The next one I got with Kiersey Clemons.
She got the O on her pinky, so that's four,
and then I want to say my next ones were five, six
on my wrists and then I got the snake, sorry,
the snake and my ankle tattoo, seven, eight,
like on the same day, and then I got this one, nine,
a week ago, maybe two weeks ago in London, just on a whim.
Yeah, I plan on getting many more though.
They're so addictive.
When people say they're addictive, they are.
Does Dove Cameron have TikTok?
I think I do, I think I do have a TikTok.
I think it'll only be activated once I start
releasing my music, but if you see a TikTok account
that's very active, that's not me.
[laughing]
I think I have an account, but I don't know
if anybody follows it or anything.
It might be private for now.
Does Dove, oh there is a girl on TikTok who looks
crazy like me, and always goes on there and sings my songs.
It's really funny.
I don't know her user name.
I just get tagged in videos of it on Twitter
and it always makes me laugh.
Shoutout to you, you're so funny.
Does Dove Cameron need glasses?
So, yeah, kind of.
So I don't normally, but when I get really tired,
my eyes get really tired, if I've been traveling
or have not been sleeping or I've been looking
at a lot of blue lights, they get weaker
and so I'll put my glasses on if I'm really tired,
but I don't need them all the time
and I don't wear contacts.
[board clacking]
There you go.
Oh, not done.
I thought we were done.
[laughing]
Can Dove Cameron speak French?
[speaking foreign language]
I can speak a little bit of French.
I can speak more French, I think, than I think I can,
'cause when I go to France, I understand almost all of it.
My favorite word in French, I feel like, is papillon,
which means butterfly, or parapluie, which means umbrella.
Whenever I see it, I just think it's so cute.
Parapluie, papillon, cute.
Will Dove Cameron be in Riverdale, season four?
So, somebody made a fake Riverdale trailer
and used an old music video of mine,
and it is, I finally watched it
'cause I didn't understand why everybody was
asking me when I was gonna appear in Riverdale.
It was this big thing on Twitter,
I'd always get tweeted about it,
and I was like, what is going on?
Why do people think I'm in Riverdale?
Somebody made this unbelievably convincing trailer
and used the shot of me that's never really used
and even I was like, oh this looks so legit,
so shoutout to whoever made that trailer,
because I would have bought it.
No, I'm not in Riverdale.
Will Dove Cameron get married?
I don't know, Google.
Will I ever get married?
[laughing]
It's like a Magic 8 Ball.
Will Dove Cameron get married?
Has Dove Cameron won any awards?
I won an Emmy.
I don't think I've won any other awards.
I mean, I was really honored when I won the Emmy.
I was really floored, really surprised.
Super felt like it wasn't real.
So crazy to even say that,
I never talk about it or think about it.
Yeah, that's it.
I'm very, very interested behind some of the questions,
like some of them I totally get
and I get asked them a lot in person anyway,
but some of them I'm very surprised by.
I look at this and I'm like, who is this enigma?
I'm not nearly as interesting as you think,
and I think that's a good thing.
Thank you guys so much for watching.
Thank you Wired, this was very interesting to me.
I love you all, and see you soon.
