Reflecting on his time living with James, Cameron tells PEOPLE, “With Matt, [there was] always something going on, something to do, tons of energy and fun, for sure. We definitely pushed each other in ways … in fitness, whatever it was mentally, [and had] great conversation.”
Still, Cameron playfully teases that there are parts about residing with James that he doesn’t miss at all, such as his dirty laundry habits. “He would work out, sweat and then he’d put his clothes over the door, or over the door handle, and it drove me off the walls,” he says. “So not having to deal with that anymore is great.”
