Julia Stiles On Dancing With The Stars

Julia Stiles mad her big screen debut in iconic 1999 movie, 10 Things I Hate About You.

The talented actress went on to appear in several movies in the early 2000’s including Hamlet, The Bourne Identity, Mona Lisa Smile, and The Omen.  However, her biggest role was in the hit film Save The Last Dance.

Dancing With The Stars Team Sets Record Straight

It’s understandable that viewers think Julia Stiles will have an unfair advantage on Dancing With The Stars.

Julia and her new partner Ezra took to TikTok to clear up the misunderstanding.  We don’t have to worry about Julia and Ezra stealing the show, apparently those Save The Last Dance scenes were FAKE.

In the new video, Julia reveals that she actually wasn’t the one dancing in Save The Last Dance.  Her character Sara Johnson actually had a body double who handled all of the complex moves.

Stiles recalls having to “catch up to the level that Sara — or, at least, look like I could catch up to — I could be at the level that Sara was supposed to be at.”
