Stephen Nedoroscik is starting to look just as bronze as his Olympic medal. 

The 25-year-old gymnast got his first spray tan in preparation for Disney Night on Dancing with the Stars, and his partner Rylee Arnold was there to film the entire thing. 

On TikTok, Arnold, 19, showed various clips of the athlete getting a spray-on glow for the Oct. 22 episode. Nedoroscik seemed to enjoy the beauty treatment by the look of his smile. He also wasn’t shy about posing with this tanned — and chiseled — pecs, biceps and abs.

As reported by Forbes, Nedoroscik and Arnold will perform the Charleston to “A Star Is Born” from Hercules, meaning a sun-kissed appearance was necessary for the transformation. 

Viewers can also expect to see their favorite contestants groove to a few other Disney film scores from The Little Mermaid, 101 Dalmatians, Tarzan, as well as a few hits from newer films like Deadpool & Wolverine and Encanto

Nedoroscik’s stint on season 33 of the dancing competition show follows his successful run at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, where he not only helped propel his team to win bronze at the men’s gymnastics team final, but also famously earned his title of “Pommel Horse Guy.”

“It was just the greatest moment of my life, I think,” the athlete told reporters, including PEOPLE, after excelling at his routine. “[I’m] so happy to have been there.”

And when he was first announced as the first male gymnast to join Dancing with the Stars, he said he wanted to introduce some of his gymnastics moves to the dance floor. 

"I'm hoping to bring some of them. I want to bring some flares, I want to bring some of that gymnastics. Maybe a backflip or handstand. I want to have fun with it,” he told Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts on Aug. 22.
