Maddie Ziegler Talks Sia Videos & ‘Transformers’ Shia LaBeouf After ‘Dance Moms’ Exit Rumors?

Maddie Ziegler isn’t even 13 yet and she is already one of the biggest star out today. Not only is she the face of Lifetime’s Dance Moms, but she has also starred in three of Sia’s most recent music videos, including “Elastic Heart” alongside Transformers star Shia LaBeouf. Maddie recently appeared in an episode of Pretty Little Liars. Rumor’s have even surfaced suggesting that Maddie is planning on quitting Dance Moms to focus on acting. Now, the starlet is speaking out about her music video work and her future plans.

Maddie Ziegler recently spoke to Glamour, where she was asked her favorite Sia music video collaboration was:

“This is so hard for me, because I love all of them in very different ways. I love ‘Chandelier’ because that was the first one and that was the most iconic, I feel like--because it started with the nude leotard and the blonde wig. It's just an amazing song and amazing choreography and the whole concept. I love ‘Elastic Heart’ also for the story, and that I got to do it with Shia, which was so amazing.”

Maddie went on to add that her work on the three music videos has made her want to branch out:

“We had a lot of fun, and it really changed me as wanting to act more. And then the last one I loved not just because it told a story, but because I got to change my emotion so many different times. It was definitely challenging for me because I don't usually do that--I'm used to dancing and moving and I just sat in the chair. It was cool getting to do that. It's really hard to pick because I love them all so much.”

However, don’t expect Ziegler to ever stop dancing. Maddie went on to describe what her future might look like:

I want to stay with dancing, because that's what I want to do the rest of my life. I want to be in film and be acting and maybe even modeling a little bit. But when I grow up, my dream job would be to be in movies and scripted TV shows, more on the serious side. I don't know what I want to do exactly with my dancing, maybe some dance companies or even just dancing in film. That would be so much fun, like a Step Up.
