Julia Stiles Cries Following ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Elimination: “I Had So Much Fun. I’ll Always Have That.”

Julia Stiles’s time on Dancing With the Stars has officially come to an end. The 10 Things I Hate About You star danced an incredible paso doble with Ezra Sosa (after an emotional and very painful week of practice thanks to a rib injury), but they ultimately didn’t make it to next week.“It’s been an incredible experience; I pulled things out of myself that I didn’t realize were there,” Julia said on the show. “Ezra is just an amazing person I’m going to be sad not to see him every day.”She also gave an emotional interview to Entertainment Tonight post-show, saying—with tears in her eyes—“I had so much fun. I’ll always have that. I had so much fun.”She elaborated to Extra, saying “It’s a bummer. Bummer city. I had so much fun on this show, so much fun. I loved see you every day [*points at Ezra*], I loved working with you. I feel like I grew so much emotionally, spiritually, physically, all of it. It’s sad because I feel like I was just getting started, but I’m really, really glad that we had that dance because I was able to prove something to myself that I needed to prove.” Julia added that she was able to ultimately manage her rib pain after “being able to find my confidence and my emotional strength.”
