Did you know @juleshough and I were in the first Harry Potter film? 🎬✨ We spent three months in the Great Hall, the Forbidden Forest, and even the Quidditch pitch! 🏰 It was incredible to be part of such a historic moment. And I may have ‘accidentally’ taken a Ravenclaw robe, scarf, tie, and a few pieces of silverware from set… but shh, don’t tell! 😉 Just a little holiday magic and nostalgia to share with you all. Happy holidays 🧙🪄 #harrypotter
8 years today I had a blast playing Corny Collin’s in Hairspray Live! Working with such an incredible cast on such a special production was truly a gift. #hairspraymusical #hairspray
We got to witness baby turtles being released into the ocean, and it was one of the most incredible things we’ve ever seen. Only 1 in 1,000 will survive, that’s such a heartbreaking stat. But watching them instinctively charge toward the water, completely unaware of the dangers ahead, was such a reminder of how wild and precious life is. It’s unforgiving, it’s short, but man, it’s beautiful. And seeing a fully grown turtle after knowing what it had to survive? That hit different. It made me think, no matter the odds, we just keep going.
It’s been exactly one year since Hayley almost lost her life. We returned to the very same stage, the same room where we once felt so much fear and uncertainty. A place where I stood frozen, terrified, praying for a miracle. But tonight, we changed the story of that room. We transformed it, from fear to beauty, from uncertainty to faith, and from despair to triumph. And having Dr. Mai, the man who saved her life, standing on that stage with us made it all the more powerful. We got to share a moment on stage thanking him for the gift of more time, more memories, and more love. This year has taught us so much about grace, how the more we acknowledge it, the more we experience it. Beauty is all around us if we open our eyes to it, and faith can guide us even in the darkest moments. I’m so grateful to Hayley, she has blown me away with her resilience, strength courage and pure elegance in how she has moved through this experience. I am in awe everyday. To the team at MedStar Washington Hospital for their care, and to all of you who’ve supported us along the way. One year later, standing on that same stage, we know this: life is fragile, love is everything, and we are stronger than ever. The Hough’s ❤️
