Gilles Marini Interviewed About The Pressures Of Dancing Again, Peta Murgatroyd, And More
Gilles Marini tells The Examiner that he’s worried about “connecting” with the audience with his first two dances on Dancing With The Stars. He also speaks about Peta, the competition, and what he’s looking forward to the most.
E:It’s only a week before the show! How will this season be more special or different for you than last time?
GM: This season is a celebration. Yes, people will compete but I am not paying so much attention to that. I wanna shine and show all my fans out there that it was worth it to tune in and watch our dances.
E:Which dance are you looking forward to the most?
GM: For sure not the first 2. We have the Foxtrot and the Jive. I am really worried about connecting with my audience with those 2. [They are] very, very hard and clearly not the most sexy dances. But hey, let’s see if I survive that. Then my favorite dances are coming: Tango, Paso, Salsa and more – [they’re] awesome!
E:What is the best thing about Peta as a partner?
GM: In a couple words: She is kind, calm, honest, classy, talented, respectful, professional, driven and loving!
E:I know you’re a fierce competitor, but you also like to have fun. Who do you think is your biggest competition?
GM: Every one of them. But I don’t even think of it. I am an actor that is trying to make people happy by performing. That is all I am concentrating on. I want to work very hard and make everyone remember every single one of our dances. I am my worst critic and that is enough pressure—just from myself.
I love what he says about Peta. You can read the full interview at
The Examiner.
I love how complimentary he is of Peta.
One week! I really can’t wait.
First thought that title read “Gilles interviewed again!” lol It seems as if some pairs are getting publicity pimps, particularly this one. There’s also noteable Shawn, Emmitt, Joey, KKarina and their respective partners while most others are comparably ignored.
LOL, my thoughts exactly #Wynn! While I like Gilles, and look forward to what he and Peta will bring, but would really enjoy seeing some interviews with Pam & Tristan; Drew & Anna; Helio & Chelsie.
I’m wondering if work schedules are really tight – I’ve read here that several of the celebs have heavy time commitments that require travel etc. You would think (IMO), this being the second time around for everyone, that they would have known to clear their calendar so as to have enough time to prepare, and to persevere, in this gig.
We’ll see – it’ll be interesting an interesting Tuesday night for sure. If we can even hear the goings on what with Bieber Fever and all ;^)
