People cover
Hough and her brother Derek appears on the cover of People to discuss their tough childhood, strong sibling bond, and how they found happiness through dance.
If you look at home videos of us, we were always dancing. There was always music on. My dad would always tell Derek, ‘No hip thrusts onstage!’—which I now think is so funny because he earns a living doing that.
Glamour cover
Hough appears on the cover of the July 2012 issue of Glamour magazine. She talks about Tom Cruise, Ryan Seacrest, and her past with the magazine.
That was my first scene with [Tom Cruise]! 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.
Shape cover
Hough appears on the cover December 2014 issue of Shape magazine. She talks about workout routines and acting.
If I’m reading for a part, I’ll transform myself into the character. I love the whole process and always tell my agents: ‘Put me in the room—I’ll audition for anything.’ Thats my motto.
