Dancer and actress Julianne Hough has spoken on meeting current beau Ryan Seacrest for the first time under strange circumstances. Julianne was dating Chuck Wicks back then, and the couple made an appearance on Ryan’s radio show together. During the interview, Ryan was acting flirty and Julianne could tell that he was trying to make a move even though he knew she wasn’t single:
“I had another boyfriend, Chuck Wicks, whom I met on Dancing with the Stars. While we were dating, we went on Ryan’s radio show together. The interview’s on YouTube, and I blush when I hear it because Ryan is hitting on me the entire time! At the end, Ryan said something like, ‘You guys really have something special!’ And I thought to myself, He’s so full of s–t right now! When Chuck and I broke up, I wanted to be single. That lasted five months. Then Ryan and I went on a date.”
Speaking on filming an awkward scene with Tom Cruise for ‘Rock of Ages’ in which Tom holds her breast, Julianne says that Tom put her at ease, and when she got injured he encouraged her to take the full time to recover properly:
“That was my first scene with him! I was nervous as all get-out, but after every take he high-fived me and was like, ‘That was awesome.’ At one point on the movie, I got really hurt—I tweaked my neck and was in so much pain. And everyone was pressuring me to keep shooting, but Tom came in and said, ‘No, this is what insurance is for, Julianne. You have the rest of your career. You need to take care of yourself!” And I thought, Tom Cruise cares about me! Now I can cry.”
