4.David Walton
After doing his showstopper on Burlesque, David confessed that he started getting more attention from gay men, but it wasn’t anything he couldn’t handle, as he’s always enjoyed chatting with cool guys. Walton’s career took off like crazy, and he started to get bigger and bigger roles. David starred in About a Boy, New Girl, Masters of Sex, and both Bad Moms films. Most recently, he’s been portraying Lucas in Power Book II: Ghost.
5.Peter Gallagher
Imagine getting a role in Burlesque and not having a dance scene. Couldn’t be Gallagher, nope. At least he got to work with many talented artists, and the new gigs kept coming. Since then, he’s appeared in big projects like Grace and Frankie, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, Grey’s Anatomy, and the most recent one – Truth Be Told, to name a few.
6.Julianne Hough
Before she starred in Burlesque, she was already known for her wild moves on Dancing with the Stars, which she found much more challenging and rewarding than DWTS. This new feeling helped her push herself to the limit in that movie, and what a debut that was. Later on, Julianne starred in Footloose, Rock of Ages, and Safe Haven – all in the span of three years. More recently, she returned to Dancing with the Stars, but this time as a co-host, completing the circle. Would that mean a new Burlesque-like movie is on the horizon? Who knows.
