'Dance Moms' News 2015: Maddie Ziegler Has Her Sights On An Acting Career In Hollywood [VIDEO]
Maddie Ziegler is one of the most talked-about reality television stars in the entertainment world these days and now the pint-sized dancer is seriously considering becoming a professional actor. The 11-year-old said that she has her sights set on Hollywood while she's still trying to keep herself grounded.
According to Nylon Magazine (via Reality Tea) on Thursday, Ziegler talked about Dance Moms moving to the West Coast and how she's been going on a lot of movie and television auditions lately.
She said, "Everyone's like, 'Oh, you must live in L.A., the glamorous life,' and I really don't. I'm in a small house, in Pittsburgh, in the snow. My friends and I on the show, we don't consider ourselves to be famous. We act like normal kids, but sometimes it's hard for us if we go out for ice cream, or go shopping at the mall, because a big group of people will stop us and ask for photos. We just want to live normal lives, but that's hard to do sometimes."
Ziegler also said she is taking her future quite seriously by trying to land a part on a scripted show or even in a horror movie.
She told the magazine, "I want to be an actress, so I've been auditioning lately. I'd love to be on scripted TV shows and movies, but not just one - I want to be in a lot of them! I'd also love to sing, and possibly be on Broadway," joking, "I can't watch scary movies, but I'd love to act in one of them! I want to audition for roles that are super creepy and eerie."
Dance Moms, which also stars controversial dance instructor Abby Lee Miller, airs on the Lifetime network.
