Who is Dixie D'Amelio's celebrity crush?
In a candid discussion with Interview magazine with Apple Martin and Ary Russell, Dixie D'Amelio revealed she has a celebrity crush on Dylan O’Brien.
Russell stated, "I’m a self-proclaimed fan girl and I think someone’s celebrity crush says a lot about a person. So I’m giving you one shot. Who is your celebrity crush?"
To which Dixie replied, "Oh my gosh. I need to go to my little-kid celebrity crush, Dylan O’Brien. My mom’s last name was O’Brien so she told me we were cousins when I was, like, 12. And then, when she told me that we weren’t actually cousins, I cried about it."

She added, "I was really confused. I was like, 'Wait, so I can’t meet him?' I didn’t even care. I was like, 'I just want to get to know him.' But yeah, probably him or Taylor Lautner."
Dixie even went on to say, "I was going to say I love Dylan O’Brien. Maybe it’s bad that I started thinking he was hot after the 'All Too Well' video."
Dixie D'Amelio opens up about online negativity
Dixie, 22, who has achieved such success at such a young age, has even spoken out about the negative feedback she sometimes gets online. The Interviewer asked, "So negative comments caused you to want to distance yourself from social media?"
Dixie replied, "I think yes, at times, because sometimes I can get a negative comment and I’m like, 'Oh, whatever. What are they talking about? I’m the coolest person in the entire world.'"
She further added, "And then I can get the same exact comment an hour later and end up in tears. I’ve gotten a lot better at handling it. Not posting as much helps."
Russell continued by inquiring about Dixie's go-to person in times of difficulty or crisis.
Russel asked, "So we talked a little bit about family, but who’s the first person that you call when you’re in a crisis?"
Dixie said, "My dad, one hundred percent. Well, usually my dad’s with my mom, but I also live with my sister, so when she’s home, I run into her room and I’m like, 'Oh my god, my life is over' And then I call my dad, we all kind of work on it together."

She concluded by saying, "We’re all so close and talk every day. But my dad is the best problem solver. He either tells me it’s not that big of a deal or tells me how I can fix whatever’s going on."
