DWTS Julianne Hough Press Day For “Running Wild With Bear Grylls”

As you might know from a previous post, Dancing With The Stars Julianne Hough will be appearing in the new season of “Running Wild with Bear Grylls” on August 1st and 2nd. Today she did some press for it. First, you can watch her interview with Today below courtesy of News Update. Later, we’ll add her appearance with AOL Build via @Idolxfactor1 and maybe more as she also did some radio interviews too. So, stay tuned and check back later.

ETA: You can also watch an interview with Julianne with Bear Grylls with Access Hollywood Live here and here (sorry they won’t let me embed them like they use to). They talk on “Running Wild”, but, Julianne also talks on her future on Dancing With The Stars. She says “maybe” to judging again or she says she will be involved in some way at some point in time. Bear says an absolute “no” to Dancing With The Stars! lol He’s too funny.

You can also read a really cool interview with Julianne at Haute Living and see some beautiful photos. Here’s a take from the link where she talks on her future as well.

She’s adamant about one thing regarding her future path: “I don’t want to settle for anything else,” she says firmly, noting, “I’ll have been in L.A. ten years in August. It’s hard coming here. When you’re a kid, you’re like, ‘Yeah, I’ll take any risks and I’ll just go for it.’ L.A. and Hollywood and the career I’ve chosen, it kind of wears on your childlike dreaming a little bit and so you get complacent. Now I’ve got to be able to pay rent.”

What Hough wants most of all is to return to the point of being fearless about her future. “I’m kind of realizing that I need to find that child again and just go for things, take risks and be adventurous. My 18-year-old self had $2,000 when I moved out here. I just always thought I’d figure it out, and I did. I have to have that same mentality now as I’m getting older so that I don’t just play things safe, so that I do things that really excite me.”

As she sets out on an entirely new journey—a smart career path, marriage and potential motherhood—she acknowledges that life is pretty good. “I think now I’m in a place where I really only want to do things that are fun and make me happy. That could be a dramatic role and something serious, but it has to be something that I’m passionate about.”

Lastly, and as promised, below is also their interview on AOL Build. The doo doo preview of “Running Wild” is hilarious. Special thanks to Lori, Abby, and Idolxfactor1 for all the help today.
