Here's everyone who is on the new season of 'Dancing With The Stars'
Bolton made international fame when he went from being a leader in the bull riding community to famous fashion model after a terrible accident that left him paralyzed. The IMG model can usually be spotted in ads around the globe, but for the time being he's trading in his model poses for jazz hands.
He recently talked all about his cowboy style with Daily Mail and his hopes for the outfits on the show.
"I'm always trying new stuff, but I know what I like, and I like to connect it with my culture," he said. "My costumes on DWTS will definitely reflect who I am as much as possible."
Charo has made waves throughout her life as an all-in-one act. She sings, plays the guitar, acts, and does comedy. She's one of the most recognizable faces in the industry and her catchphrase "cuchi-cuchi" is all but trademarked.
The 65 year old hasn't given any clues about what fans can expect from her dancing but her partner is thrilled to have her.
"Let's cucho-cuchi to the dance floor, Charo," Motsepe tweeted with the hashtag "super excited." Motsepe says they're also taking applications for a team name.
Kattan brought "Saturday Night Live" to life with his many characters over the years. Outside of the show, he had roles in movies and TV shows, including ABC's own "The Middle." His comedy acts have made him a favorite in the industry but he hasn't done much dancing outside of the head-bobbing he perfected in "Night at the Roxbury."
He hasn't mentioned whether or not that move (or a certain Mango character you may remember) will be making an appearance, but he did tweet out the big news.
"Meet my new dancing partner!" The actor tagged Carson in the post and shared a picture of the duo with his fans.
David Ross helped the Chicago Cubs make history when they finally clinched the title of World Series Champions after a 108-year drought. The retired catcher is the first baseball player to be on the show, but several other athletes have come (and won) before him.
That alone should give him a bit of hope, and, on top of that, his friend and ex-teammate Kris Bryant says he'll make sure to vote for the "early favorite."
"He’s the early favorite because of the following he has now," said Bryant in a brief interview with the Chicago Tribune. "I obviously watch shows like that where you have to vote, but I've never actually voted. I think I might actually call in or send a text in to vote this time."
Jayne has gotten a lot of attention since she became one of the women on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." Her marriage to her 78-year-old husband has made her the talk of the town since the newest season started, but she can thank her experience in the music industry for getting her on the show in the first place.
She's a dance-pop diva and considered an icon in the gay community due in part to her wild music videos, which she thinks might give her a leg up.
"It gives me a little extra sass for sure," Jayne said on "Good Morning America." "I'm not shy."
Morris found stardom playing Brittany Pierce on Fox's hit show "Glee." There's no doubt she was perfect for the cheerleader role in this musical of sorts, and her work as a professional dancer probably helped her land the role and it'll surely help her on this hit show as well.
It might be unfair to put the rest of these celebrities up against a professional dancer, but hopefully the producers will give her tasks that are a bit more trying than the rest of the cast. Even so, her chances of taking home the Mirrorball Trophy are pretty good.
"Dancing was my sport when I was younger," she said to Seventeen back in 2011. "So I chose that over everything. And then, I just had to keep going because it became a competitive thing. But I'm not trying to impress anyone anymore. Dancing is more like my art, now."
Mr. T started his career as a WWE wrestler. He made waves when he took his personality from the ring and hit the screens acting in TV shows and movies. He hit even bigger fame with his role in "Rocky III" when he coined the phrase ""I pity the fool!"
He took to Twitter to share the news and claim that he "really can't dance" but will do his best.
"Now, if I just happen to win, I will cut off my Mohawk to stand in solidarity with the children who are fighting cancer! GOD bless them," he tweeted in a follow-up.
Kerrigan will also be one to beat thanks to her killer moves on the ice. She won a gold and silver medal throughout her Olympic career, despite a vicious attack, known as "The Whack Heard Round The World," on her knee.
If that doesn't make you want to bet on her, then the fact that fellow ice skater Kristi Yamaguchi won during her season on DTWS might help. She's trying not to be too confident just yet.
"This is a challenge. We step on the ice as skaters and glide. The steps don't have to be super fast. A dancer would take 10 steps to go the distance we might do in one and make it look like gliding," said Kerrigan when she spoke with USA Today.
"The Bachelor" first stepped onto the scene during Andi's season of "The Bachelorette." He made it as far as the proposal, only to get dumped. He came back for round two during Kaitlin's season and the same thing happened again.
People weren't too thrilled when ABC announced that they'd be helping him find love on the current season of the show, and according to a "production insider" who spoke to Radar, people behind-the-scenes at DWTS aren't excited about his presence either.
"Nick is acting like he is God’s gift to the show and they are lucky that they have him on this season," the source said.
He's been pretty touchy on "The Bachelor" so who knows? Maybe any chemistry he has with his partner will translate well on the dance floor.
Kordei was catapulted into success with the other members of her girl band, Fifth Harmony. They're to thank for hits like "Work From Home" and "Worth It," and have put on shows around the world. She's shown off her skills in music videos and on stage at concerts, but we'll see how good her technical moves are when she hits the dance floor.
Whether she wins or loses, for her, it's all about the journey.
"It’s more a competition within myself and not with other people. I think, at the end of the day, you have to be happy with who you are and what you present and bring to the table," she said during an interview clip put out by ABC. I know my work ethic is out of this world, so I’m really excited for the journey and just the teamwork and camaraderie between the two of us."
Jenning will join the team as the umteenth NFL player to appear on the show. He's played for the Jaguars, The Raiders, and most recently the Giants and decided to turn his time as a free agent into a dancing career on this season's DWTS. With any luck, he'll become the fourth NFL player to win, following Donald Driver, Emmitt Smith, and Hines Ward.
"Football players are known to be amazing because they're athletic, they're strong, they know how to be coached," said Peta Murgatroyd, one of the show's professional dancers, in an interview with TV Guide.
This gymnast made a name for herself at the Rio Olympics where she took home five medals, four of which were gold. You also might recognize her from her recent spread in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue where she posed with teammate Aly Raisman.
Biles has become America's sweetheart, and with wins from previous gymnasts like teammate Laurie Hernandez, she has good odds of winning. Biles, on the other hand, isn't positive that she's a sure bet.
"I think some of it might help, but some may work against it," she said of her gymnastics training while speaking with USA Today. "In gymnastics, we're used to being upright and Sasha told me I needed to lean forward, so it's different."
