DWTS\u2019 Julia Stiles has spoken about her disappointment after leaving the show alongside her partner Ezra Sosa.<\/p>\n
Julia admitted she was upset about the fact that she will no longer be seeing Ezra every day following their elimination.<\/p>\n
Their departure follows a run that included an emotional tribute to Heath Ledger<\/a>, with Julia reunited with former film co-stars.<\/p>\n Reflecting on their goodbye, Julia said: \u201cReally sad because I\u2019m going to miss seeing this guy every day.\u201d<\/p>\n Ezra told her he would miss her too and struggled to hold back tears. \u201cI\u2019m going to miss you too. She made me a better person. Oh, I\u2019m going to cry. I\u2019m going to cry,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Ezra continued, saying: \u201cYou made me a better teacher, voyager, person. Just your openness and your honesty, really. It touched me in so many ways, and I\u2019m just so lucky. I take a lot from Julia, and I\u2019m really grateful for this experience.\u201d<\/p>\n When asked how she felt about the elimination, Julia said: \u201cIt sucks, huh? It\u2019s a bummer, it\u2019s bummer city. I had so much fun on this show, so much fun. I loved seeing you every day; I loved working with you. I felt like I grew so much emotionally, spiritually, physically, all of it.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s sad because I feel like I was just getting started. But I\u2019m really, really glad that we had that dance. Because to me, I was able to prove something to myself that I needed to prove.\u201d<\/p>\n Rib pain had almost prevented Julia from taking to the floor for her final performance. Her discomfort featured in the programme\u2019s pre-dance package, shown to viewers before she danced.<\/p>\n Julia said she managed the pain with Ezra\u2019s support, discussing the connection between her physical and mental wellbeing.<\/p>\n She felt stress had contributed, while finding confidence and emotional strength had helped ease her rib pain.<\/p>\n Julia described the competition as an incredible experience that had affected her physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.<\/p>\n She said she would always carry that experience with her.<\/p>\n Earlier in the competition, Julia and Ezra performed a Dedication Night routine. It revisited her film with Heath, 10 Things I Hate About You.<\/p>\n The dance was set to Frankie Valli\u2019s Can\u2019t Take My Eyes Off You. Several cast members joined them on the dance floor, bringing familiar faces together again.<\/p>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n
