It has been a long road to recovery for Julianne Hough, who says the physical and mental abuse she sustained as a child “sucked the life” out of her.
“The light about me was gone,” the former “Dancing with the Stars” pro told Entertainment Tonight. “I was just a dark person."
The 24-year-old actress revealed her shocking history of abuse in February’s issue of Cosmopolitan.
The abuse began when she was just 10 while she was training to become a dancer in London at the world-renowned Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts.
“I was a tormented little kid who had to put on this sexy facade because that was my job and my life,” she told the magazine.
Hough told ET that she doesn’t like to speak about the ordeal and has since learned to put the past behind her.
“I had to leave that situation and kind of come into my own again, and I did,” she explained.
The young starlet continues to move forward. She’s set to star in the upcoming Nicholas Sparks flick “Safe Haven” as Katie, a woman also dealing with an abusive past.
Hough says the role was bittersweet.
“Being Katie, I relate a lot to her,” Hough said. “The fact that she had been in one situation that just sucked the life out of her – and it was a bad situation – and she needed to change and move on and kind of find her own again.
“And through that you find love and everything."
