I was in a salon for like seven hours in the big bowl thing and I was like reading people magazine like I belong My dad has a bunch of blackmail on me. Oh, for sure, for sure, yeah, yeah.

Hey guys, I'm Brandy Chuck for Young Hollywood. I'm sitting here with Cameron Boyce. How's it going?

Hey guys.

You guys might know Cameron from a little show called Jessy. I don't know, or the Gamer's Guide to pretty much everything and you can also catch him on Disney's Descendants playing Cruella De Vil's son. How awesome. You're like the Disney kid.

I'm trying. We're taking over. No, it's it's been good though, man. They're keeping me busy so it's been good. Yeah.

So right now you're shooting Gamer's Guide, right? You were saying? Um you're on your lunch break right now which is like really casual. I

Yeah. Yes. I We got to rush here. Um but yeah, yeah. Gamers has been really, really good. We're wrapping up our first season. So uh it's been really good and the the guys have been great and everything's been smooth so it's been really fun. Really cool.

Yeah, I think we came to visit you guys on set with the stick of cheat. I'm still broken. I'm still recovering. So tell us a little bit about working on um the Descendants. Because I was watching that last night and I was just telling you a little bit, when I started watching it I was into it because I watched DCOMs like growing up, it was my jam. Okay. Right? So like High School Musical like Kenny Ortega, like these are all shows that I've you know, watched and for some reason when I started watching it, I didn't realize it was going to be a musical and all of a sudden they're just like breaking out into song and dance and I'm like, oh my God.

Oh my God. Yeah, yeah, it gets crazy like from the very beginning. Yeah. Uh no, it was it was it was awesome. It was so cool and that that was I I tell everybody that was like the best job I've ever had because you know, I learned a lot and I had so much fun and everybody was so amazing. And uh Kristin Chenoweth uh who played Maleficent actually she came in and she shot for about three weeks straight because they had to shoot her out because she was so busy. But she really like set the tone. Like Kristin Chenoweth was there and she was giving it her all so we had to bring it, you know. Right. So that's I think that's uh a tribute to to her and just, you know, it was amazing.

What is it like as a young actor to work with the likes of Kenny Ortega and Kristin? Like what is it like on set then? You were saying that she set the bar pretty high, but what exactly do you take away from that?

Uh, you try to take as much as you can. It's hard though because they they throw so much information at you but uh you know, I I tried to take different things watching him and him, you know, trying to teach me um pace and performance. And he really helped me with all of us with the layers of our characters and things that, you know, you wouldn't necessarily think of unless someone taught you that. So yeah, he's he's brilliant and uh it was it was a lot of fun.

That's great. So when you're developing your character as Cruella De Vil's son, you know, viewers are already so familiar with that character. How do you find your own in that?

Right. It's it's difficult and it's it's kind of uh it's kind of scary too because when you think about the fans of classic Disney uh movies. First of all, everyone's a fan but also there are people who are really into it. Right. So you don't want to, you know, disappoint them, you don't want to let them down. Uh so you're just trying to please them as much as possible but you know, we had a lot of fun with it and the costumes were amazing. Kerson did an incredible job, you know, I had fur and leather and all sorts of crazy stuff on me, spikes. You hair was a little different, too. It was, it was. Yeah, it was uh they bleached it. I was I was in a salon for like seven hours like in the big bowl thing and I was like reading people magazine like I belonged.

Do you have you ever seen her done?

Oh, yeah. My dad has a bunch of blackmail on me. Oh, for sure, for sure. Yeah, yeah.

I have to ask you, do you have a favorite Disney villain of all time?

Uh, well, to be biased. Uh Cruella's obviously awesome, but I say like Jafar is a really good one for me. I like his staff. I just and his wardrobe, his cape. I I just really find that funny. Uh Maleficent is like the best one, but she's like, you know, that's like default. Like, you know, Angelina Jolie, Kristin Chenoweth, like you can't beat that. She's like really awesome actresses playing Maleficent. It's like, yeah, I'm kind of impartial. You kind of got to go there but shout out to all the uh Cruella fans. You guys rock.

Speaking of Cruella, who plays your mom in the show? Uh, you know, I think a lot of the characters, a lot of the kids um they're facing challenges that kids face, you know, in real life too, trying to make their parents proud and pressure to fit in and trying to decide on who they're going to become. So, you know, as a young actor in Hollywood, how how are you figuring out who you are becoming?

You kind of just got to I mean, for me, I just tried to take what I like from people I like, you know, and that sounds strange but uh like people I work with, if I see them do something that, you know, I say, oh wow, that was that was really cool or, you know, whether it be onset, offset, whatever it is. I I just take that from them and kind of, you know, find my own path a little bit. But back to what you were saying originally, I think Descendants really kind of speaks to a lot of things but teenagers in general kind of being thrown into a new place and having to deal with these people who don't really know who they are, they don't really know who they are. Um that kind of touches a lot of areas that, you know, teenagers go through. Um so it kind of it kind of, you know, speaks to the writing but um it was a cool thing to portray just kind of, you know, going through that. And um you know, the struggle with the parents and all that stuff. It was a really cool cool story if you kind of break it down.

Speaking of messages, I have some fan messages for you because you did something called Cameron Gabbs. Yeah. maybe a month ago or something. And I noticed that there were a few questions that didn't get answered. So it wasn't you, they asked a little late so I mean girls, I'm helping you out here, but I noticed that the date was like three weeks after the you know, Cameron Gabbs. But we're going to get their questions answered and maybe you did already answer these and you know, we'll see, I guess. But Okay. Okay. Okay. Um. this one is from Valrovy. Like two Rs. What what was that? Valrovy. Not Yeah. Two Rs. I swear. Look, that's how it was spelled. Like that Valrovy. It's not.

Oh, yeah, no, she's right.

But yeah, so at Valrovy. I thought it was a typo. My bad. It's not type I swear. Um what kind of music do you listen to?

Um everything. I I think the the the main thing I listen to is like old school Motown is like one of my one of my go-to. That's awesome. That I didn't expect. That actually is my go-to. But, you know, I can I can I try to I try to appreciate all types of music whether I like to listen to it or not. I try to appreciate it. Um but yeah, I listen to I listen to everything. I listen to, you know, all of it. That's what I do.

That's impressive. I like that Motown spirit. Motown spirit. Like Bruno Mars up in here. Thank you. And this one is from Candy B. Truitt. There you go. She she apologizes for speaking late so I have to ask this one. She said sorry it's late, but if you didn't have a career that you had now, what do you think you'd be doing?

No idea. I have no clue. If like if I had what I had now and then I didn't act from here on out, I'd try to like I'd know that I'd try to do like writing or producing, directing stuff like that. Um but if I wasn't doing what I was doing now, I I I'd probably be a different kid to be honest. So I I have no idea. But, you know. Okay. For the most part, you know, something something in this business hopefully.

Oh, great. Well, I think that, you know, all of your fans and everyone that's working around you is very glad that you are in this business. So congratulations on all your success.

Thanks, guys.
