Cameron Boyce: Dove Cameron Opens up on How sad Descendants co-stars have been
Cameron Boyce’s former costar opens up about how life has changed since the actor’s death
It’s been just over a month since Disney star Cameron Boyce passed away suddenly due to a seizure brought on
by a previous medical condition.
The “Descendants” star suffered the seizure due to epilepsy.
His costars shared their heartwarming messages on social media to honor Boyce in the days following his death, but on Friday,
actress Dove Cameron sat down with E!’s Daily Pop to reflect on the loss of her longtime friend and “Descendants” costar.
“He just was everything everybody said he was,” she shared while tearing up. “He was from someplace else. He was truly
like a cosmic happening.”
The “Angry Birds 2” actress shared some anecdotes on how she and the rest of the “Descendants” cast are coping with the loss
of their fourth castmate and looking out for one another during this time of grief.
“That’s what we’ve been working on all together as a family is really staying in touch with each other and (Booboo Stewart) said,
he was like, ‘I want to go out of my way to see you because I don’t want to miss you,’ and I think that’s kind of how we’re all feeling
is we want to—we want to make an effort,” Cameron explained. “It really reminds you how important everybody is, how important
your one life is.”
She continued, “It’s been really rough, but we’re all finding solace in each other and that’s become really beautiful for us.”
The 23-year-old actress added that it’s important to not only spend time with family and friends, but to “do it intentionally.”
The third and final installment in the Disney movie series, “Descendants 3” debuted on August 2. The film’s closing included a tribute
to the late 20-year-old actor to honor his legacy on the Disney Channel, from his role on “Jessie” to his time spent playing Carlos
in the “Descendants” franchise.
