Lucy Hale: 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me (‘I Took That [1st] Paycheck and Ran Straight to Forever 21’)

usmagazine.com:

It’s no surprise that a Pretty Little Liar would have some secrets, but Lucy Hale is spilling the truth exclusively to Us Weekly, revealing facts that even her most dedicated fans don’t know.Though the Hating Game actress, 32, started working in TV as a teenager (scroll down for more on that gig), she said it took a while to find her passion.“I tried soccer, gymnastic and cheer growing up,” Hale told Us. “None were my calling.”It wasn’t theater that initially caught her interest, though. “It wasn’t until I started taking voice lessons that I found what I wanted to do with my life.

The music led to acting,” the Tennessee native recalled.When Hale isn’t busy acting in series like Ragdoll, a thriller now streaming on AMC+, or leading movies such as February’s Big Gold Brick, the Almay brand ambassador likes to stay physically active.“Something I do daily is try to fit in some sort of exercise,” she added. “That could look like Pilates, yoga, SoulCycle, strength training or hiking.”Hale isn’t not just getting in her steps.

The Katy Keene alum said she has a goal that’s pretty big — 26.2 miles, to be exact. “I’ve never ran a marathon. Only a half, but it’s on my bucket list to completely a full one,” Hale explained.Not all of her routines are so healthy, though.

One of her worst habits is “sleeping all night with the TV on,” she admitted. “It’s a comfort thing.”When she’s relaxing, the actress curls up with books like Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Reid Jenkins, one of her recent reads, while sipping iced coffee with oat milk and honey.Scroll down to learn more about the leading lady:1.
