Stephen Nedoroscik reveals he was 'hesitant' to appear on Dancing With The Stars

American gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik has revealed that he was hesitant to make an appearance on Dancing With The Stars. The gymnast appeared on the 33rd season of the show, shortly after competing at the Paris 2024 games, where he won two bronze medals.

Nedoroscik sat down for an interview on The Squeeze, a podcast hosted by actor Taylor Lautner and his wife, Taylor Dome. Nedoroscik was asked how he reacted when DWTS reached out to him (37:55 onwards):

"So they essentially offered it to me literally the day after team finals, and I was still training because I had an individual competition coming up and I was like "A lot is happening right now", they want me to answer this the night before the Pommel Horse finals, and I was like "Holy crap I have to think about it" and I was super hesitant at first, because I don't dance, like even socially."

"My decision to join the show was like "You know what, this is a chance for someone who's never danced, who probably sucks at dancing, to just do it" and like you know let's be the guy that goes out there and can show people if you put four hours every day for a couple months this is how good you can get."

Stephen Nedoroscik performed on the 33rd season of the show alongside Rylee Arnold, where they finished fourth overall.
