Dove Cameron Shines On Cover Of Allure

Dove Cameron is on the cover of ALLURE. The actress is on the cover to promote her new series, 56 Days. Highlights from her interview are below.

On entering her 30’s: “I remember something I told my mom when I was eight. I was wandering around in a $20 fake-fur coat from, I don’t know, Limited Too or something, with Tic Tacs, pretending that they were headache medication. I was like, ‘I cannot wait to be an adult. No one takes me seriously.’ Now I don’t need anyone to take me seriously because I truly don’t care how anyone takes me. I know who I am, I know what I’m capable of so far. I have no desire to be perceived in a certain way. The only way I desire to be perceived is truthfully—and I think I’ve chosen the wrong industry.”

On her new series, 56 Days: “We shot the thing so long ago, so when I finally got to see it all cut together, I had the same feeling. I was like, ‘Fuck, I’m on the edge of my seat. They did this so well.’ I was chomping at the bit to get more.”

On looking at herself differently after filming so many nudity scenes: “I feel less crumpled and hidden. I feel more like I celebrate myself in the way that I celebrate other women. Like I’ve just burst through something. My number one—I guess you would call it a motto, even though that word makes me want to vomit—is if something scares me, that’s the thing I have to do next. If you were a piece of marble and every hard experience was chipping away the excess, you’d take more shape after you do something that scares you. I’m sure there’s someone who’s going to read this and think, Oh, you took your top off on TV and now you’re so evolved. Actually, yes. It was something that was personal for me to be able to tackle and understand.”
