You Don't Know the Real Lucy Hale

There’s a big difference between the Lucy Hale you think you know, and the real one.

The 27-year-old actress recently talked about how she surrounds herself with good people who keep her grounded.

“I know that it’s not always gonna be on that level, and I’m fine with that,” Lucy told Bustle.com of her PLL success “I’ve seen it really mess with people when they’re in the spotlight and then they’re not necessarily in the spotlight, and they do something crazy to be in the spotlight again. So you have to have a life outside of it, and luckily, I have really great friends and family to keep me grounded, and I recognize what’s real and what’s not. I have a sense of who I am outside of my job and the Lucy Hale that people know.”
