From Being Disabled To Being Enabled: Updates On Derek Hough And Amy Purdy
Amy Purdy and Derek Hough were guests on Access Hollywood today!! They discuss their dancing together, how Amy is an inspiration, and much more. When you finish watching below, be sure to see Pure Derek Hough as Derek’s new blog has been posted. Derek and Julianne also won the 2014 Kaleidoscope Award last night and you can view some fun new pictures! You can also watch some new interviews with Derek where he discusses his new movie “Make Your Move” which hits the theatres next week.
So every week Amy invites another amputee to DWTS, some children?? This woman is amazing.
That was the most human and connected I’ve seen Billy Bush ever – and yes, Amy is truly amazing.
Amy and Derek make a great team. It is incredible what they are doing to progress prosthetics.
I normally loathe Bully Bush as well but no doubt he and Kit will go back to their usual crap with they can needle one of the couples about a showmance.
woo~very beautiful!
Amazing interview! Truly heartfelt! I was so moved! Amy & Derek are an incredible pairing. Both continue to inspire & amaze! Billy & Kit were truly by this interview!
For them, it’s so much more than dance!
Meant to say Billy & Kit were so moved by Amy story, determination and Derek’s words of encouragement!!
It was nice to see them so captivated & sincere.
One of the few Billy and Kit interviews I actually enjoyed watching. Amy and Derek were fantastic, and it was wonderful that their innate decency made the two AH muckrakers behave with some semblance of class!
Derek and Amy…two very classy people. Derek accepts praise so humbly. He is such a sweetheart and so gorgeous. They make a beautiful couple and Amy is amazing and so inspirational. I DO hope the judges (and TPTB) will be fair.
So basically what Amy is doing on the dance floor requires MORE athleticism than what anyone else is doing. I admire and respect her so much.
@Carlie: Exactly! It takes a lot of work to balance on her prosthetic legs, let alone dance. Yet, we still have people saying that Derek does all the work in their routines.
Amy is remarkable in every sense and Derek embracing another realm this season. I’m also impressed with the natural connection and rapport these two have without a pretense of showmance.
