OlderCameron Dallas Opens Up About Dealing With Fame: 'I Go To A Lot Of Therapy'
Cameron Dallas demolishes a pie on the cover of Mood magazine’s winter/spring issue, available now.
Here’s what the 25-year-old actor had to share with the mag:
On his current relationship: “I’m dating someone right now and we met at the movies and it was cool. It was natural. I didn’t have to like DM her anything so it was dope. And I would say the best advice for everyone is just to take it slow and not rush into anything.”
On dealing with fame: “I go to a lot of therapy. I think what helps me a lot is talking about it, and not even talking about [fame and attention] but just things that I’ve dealt with growing up and like inner struggles that I’ve had, and kind of working through other people that are trying to get past those problems as well. I think that does a great deal for me it’s service you know…I have a psychotherapist, a regular therapist, my primary therapist, a sex therapist, I have group therapy, art therapy, music therapy there’s just a bunch of things that you can do and it’s really cool. So, I think speaking out about what your problems are and helping others will help you with your problems as well.”
On speaking out about going to rehab: “There’s a lot of people that get sober go to rehab and they don’t talk about it. You know there is an ugly stigma around it and I think it’s really important that people start speaking out about these things because they’re real problems and you know I will talk about being an alcoholic. For example, about ten percent of everyone in U.S. is an alcoholic. So that means a big percentage of people are affected by an alcoholic. Whether it be yourself or a family member or a friend, or someone that you know. I think it’s really important to speak out. The other thing is too is mental health in general. You know for me drinking was a vehicle that made me more comfortable with myself and helped me numb things, but the real problems are behind that. Like being an ACOA [Adult Children of Alcoholics] going up with an alcoholic or having your own childhood trauma that you have to work through problems that you have and kind of just speaking out about that.
