She may have led Danny Zuko around in Grease: Live, but in real life, Julianne Hough doesn’t always enjoy being in charge. The blonde stunner, 27, opened up to Redbook magazine about her fiancé, Brooks Laich, for the March issue.
“Because of the nature of my career, it’s very easy for me to call the shots and ‘be the man,’” she explained. “So it’s very nice to feel like a strong woman and still have my man be my leading man.”
The entertainer and the hockey star, 32, announced their engagement in August via Instagram.
“We are overwhelmed with joy and excitement to share with you our recent engagement!” Hough wrote at the time. “#fiance #love.”
In addition to planning her nuptials, the Dancing With the Stars alum is also focusing on herself and maturing as a person and a performer.
“When I was 21, I did and said things because I wanted to be accepted,” she added. “But there’s a point where you grow up. Now I’m much more honest with myself and other people.”
Grease: Live premiered on January 31 to rave reviews and costarred Vanessa Hudgens, Aaron Tveit, Carly Rae Jepsen and Keke Palmer.
