Maddie Zeigler compares herself to Hannah Montana

"Dance Moms" star Maddie Zeigler recently sat down with Seventeen Magazine to talk about her double life, which she compared to that of a Disney character's, and how she enjoys the best of both worlds.  

The youngster, who is best known for her performance in Australian singer Sia's music video "Chandelier," revealed that she can identify with Hannah Montana, singer Miley Cyrus' much-remembered role in the titular Disney Channel series,

"I'm like Hannah Montana. With my brown hair, that's the person no one really knows, but with the wig on, people know who I am," the talented 12-year-old actress and model told the aforementioned publication. 

"I'm used to wearing it now, but it hurts my head really bad. I'm doing tricks and flips, so I have to have a lot of pins in it. Sometimes I'm just like, 'Can we get this wig off?'" the dance prodigy went on to say. 

Zeigler's career is taking off and proof of that is her stint in the Grammy Awards with actress Kristen Wiig. The youngster also has something to tell about the fun experience that made her "freak out."

"Kristen is amazing. She was so nervous people would make fun of her, but she did so well," she related. 

Apart from "Dance Moms" where Zeigler unfailingly wows viewers and wins awards for Abby and her troop with her dance moves every week, fans can also watch her in Sia's new music video titled "Big Girls Cry," which is last of the singer's video trilogy (with "Chandelier" and "Elastic Heart"). 

Zeigler does not want to stop there as she aspires to do more.

"I would love to be in a TV series or a movie. I want to dance of course, but I'm not sure where I want to take it. I'm still taking singing lessons, but I'm definitely not as good as my sister Mackenzie. I'm only 12, so I have a while," she said.
