Dove Cameron<\/a> is opening up about a woman in the entertainment industry that she admiresJane Fonda<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The “Boyfriend” singer-songwriter recently spoke to PEOPLE ahead of Women’s History Month about how the legendary Oscar-winning actress and passionate activist has inspired her throughout the years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“She’s such a f\u2014ing icon,” says Cameron, 27. “Her willingness to be on the frontline for the causes that she cares about to the point that she’s been arrested more times than we can count on our hands \u2014 I think that she’s such a f\u2014ing badass.”<\/p>\n

Throughout Fonda’s 50+ years in the industry, the 85-year-old 80 for Brady <\/em>actress has worked across film, television and Broadway. She’s earned two Academy Awards for her roles in Klute<\/em> and Julia<\/em> as well as an Emmy Award for her performance in The Dollmaker<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Along the way, she’s made headlines for protesting various wars and standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, anti-racism, feminism and the environment. Fonda’s activism has landed her in handcuffs on numerous occasions, including five times in 2019 during Fire Drill Fridays, a reoccurring climate protest in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

“She is the embodiment of walking the walk and not just talking the talk,” continued Cameron about the Grace and Frankie<\/em> star. “She’s fierce, ferocious and a feminist. I love her. I worship Jane Fonda.”<\/p>\n

Last month, Cameron released her latest single<\/a> “We Go Down Together” with Khalid and spoke to PEOPLE about how coming out as queer in 2020 has allowed her to tap into a more authentic performance style than ever before.<\/p>\n

“I’m allowing myself to be more human on stage rather than having it be the place that I feel the least safe, and really all of that is down to the amount of support I’ve gotten from fans and other women in the queer community,” she said at the time.<\/p>\n

Cameron \u2014 who’s currently working on her debut album \u2014 also said that despite embracing her own sexual identity, she doesn’t want to alienate listeners or potential concert attendees.<\/p>\n

“You don’t have to be a part of the queer community to come and enjoy my music,” she explained. “It’s my aspiration to make music that everybody can enjoy \u2014 except for straight men.”<\/p>\n
