THE HUNKS OF HOLLYWOOD

If it seems like nearly a decade ago that Cameron Dallas made a name for himself as a social media personality, well, that’s because it is. In 2012, 16-year-old Dallas started posting comedic videos to Vine; by 2014 he had accumulated 8.1 million followers on the video-sharing platform. A couple of movies (Neighbors 2 and The Outfield), a Netflix reality series (Chasing Cameron), and 21+ million Instagram followers later, and Dallas hasn’t just made the transition from Internet celebrity to actor, he has pole-vaulted onto one of the most challenging mediums of all to tackle: the Broadway stage. “I actually laughed at myself when we got the offer, because I have never done anything like that before and it’s so out of my comfort zone,” the 25-year-old, who is starring as Aaron Samuels in Mean Girls on Broadway, confesses. Dallas also recently released a new song and video, entitled “Helpless,” after taking an extensive break from music. “It’s where I’m at right now. I talk about addiction and how I needed help, and I didn’t like where I was, and there’s this weird thing where I thought I was doomed to have a bad life, and there’s where addiction led me. I went to rehab for 42 days,” he says candidly. “‘Helpless’ is where I am now.”
