“We were intrigued by Mitchell’s natural acting style, boyish charm and winning personality,” Disney VP of Casting Judy Taylor said.

Mitchell Hope Dating/Girlfriend
Hope was paired with Dove Cameron on Descendants and the intense chemistry between them had fans wondering if they were true partners. The simple answer is: No, they are not! The two actors each date different people in real life.
At the Descendants 2 premiere, Dove Cameron explained that the reason their on-screen chemistry is so powerful is that they’re best friends in real life.
She told J14; “Mitchell is one of my favorite people on the face of the earth. I really think so. You know how people say that in Hollywood? I wouldn’t say that if I didn’t mean it. He is a very sensitive human being and so am I. So when two people recognize something in common, it’s like looking at someone across the room on the first day of school and it’s like I see myself in you and you see yourself in me.
She continued;
“Mitchell and I were each other’s rocks in the first movie. Then, in the second film, we were inseparable. He’s like my best friend, my brother… That’s why it’s so funny that we’re important people in the movie. I think that’s why there’s so much chemistry on screen because I tell him everything! I laugh with him maybe more than anyone, except maybe Thomas who is my real boyfriend. “
Dove started dating her Descendants 2 co-star Thomas Doherty in 2017 after breaking off her engagement to fellow actor and singer Ryan McCartan in 2016. Dove and Ryan had been together for three years, from 2013 to October 2016.
