Even before Dove Cameron ever worked with Cameron Boyce on the set of "Descendants," she had a sense they were destined to be besties. The multi-hyphenate star told Seventeen in 2019 that she had been impressed with his work on the Disney Channel series "Jessie" and was looking forward to meeting him in person. "I had always thought, 'damn, what a charismatic, bright and brilliant kid,'" she expressed. After their initial meeting (at which point she hugged him), Cameron recalled that she told Boyce, "'This is going to sound so weird, but we're about to do this new thing together, and I'm going to hug you, because I can promise you now, we are going to be friends.'"
Sounds like it was never an option not to be friends! For his part, Boyce warmed to Cameron almost instantly. She explained, "From that first day onward, Cameron was my friend and he treated me, like he treated everyone else, like they were the most important person in the room. I loved him like a brother, and I learned from him every day, how to be joyful, how to be resilient, how to be patient, no matter the circumstances," per Seventeen. She added, "I couldn't begin to quantify the wisdom and generosity that this kid had." The depth of their bond, therefore, makes the loss of Boyce even more devastating.
