Julianne Hough thinks her fame is "a bit confusing" for the public.
Julianne Hough has enjoyed success in various fields
The 36-year-old star has enjoyed success as a dancer, as an actress and as a TV personality - but Julianne ultimately considers herself to be a "storyteller".
During an appearance on 'Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen', Julianne - who is currently promoting her new debut novel, 'Everything We Never Knew' - explained: "I think because I do so many different things, I'm a bit confusing.
"People are like, what does she do? Does she dance? Is she a singer? Is she an actor? What does she do?
"But I think I'm a storyteller and I think by nature everything that I do is storytelling, whether it's through my body, or through my voice, or through my acting, and now through my writing."
Meanwhile, Julianne recently admitted that she felt insecure during her relationship with Ryan Seacrest.
The dancer dated Ryan, 49, for three years, but Julianne always feared that people thought she was with the TV star for the wrong reasons.
During an appearance on the 'Armchair Expert' podcast, Julianne shared: "The rug was swept up from underneath me, and I was just flying, and I was experiencing things that I didn't even know existed.
"But then I had this insecurity that I was like, 'I don't ever want anybody to think that I'm with him for this reason.'"
Julianne dated Ryan between 2010 and 2013, and the dancer admitted to being surprised by the public's reaction to their break-up.
She recalled: "I remember when I decided to break things off, I had a lot of these Brentwood moms and producers in that world that were like, ‘What are you doing?’"
