The Untold Truth Of Cameron Boyce

Disney Channel stardom is pretty much instant. You land a role on a hit show or one of those infamous Disney Channel Original Movies, and your name is splashed across the pages of J-14 as you struggle to avoid fans while grabbing a Wetzel's pretzel at The Grove. But, Hollywood has its dark side, and Boyce initially struggled with his enormous success. 

In an interview with i-D, Boyce opened up about his first year of major stardom. He struggled with the idea of constantly being bombarded with cameras and fans — and if you couldn't tell by literally anything surrounding High School Musical or Hannah Montana, Disney stans are absolutely fierce. To cope, he just avoided the whole thing altogether.

"For about a year of my life, if I didn't have to leave my house, I wouldn't," he told i-D. "It was a bad way of dealing with fame, but it's a scary feeling to know that everybody is looking at you all the time."

Thankfully, Boyce found his way out of the darkness and decided to use his success to boost the profile of his charity work.
