PureDWTS Season 19 Rumor: General Hospital’s Antonio Sabato Jr. To Dance?
Wow, what a hot get this would be if true. From E Online…Antonio Sabato Jr. to dance in Dancing With The Stars Season 19?
Are you ready to see even more of this hunk on your TV? Good, because Antonio Sabato Jr. is going to compete on Dancing With the Stars this season!
While ABC doesn’t comment on casting rumors, sources tells E! News that the General Hospital star is going to be one of the stars competing this cycle.
The full cast will be announced on Good Morning America on Sept. 4.
Italian-born Sabato is best known for his role on the daytime soap General Hospital, but he also gained popularity (and quite a lot of admirers…us included!) for his work as a Calvin Klein model. Seriously, check out that photo above and try not to drool.

I really hope this is true 🙂 plus I know he has wanted to be on the show for a while .I could see him maybe with karina or Cheryl 🙂
Same here…Karina or Cheryl!!
I agree with Karina or Cheryl but I would like to see him with Emma.
My first thought was oh crud, I guess we know who Peta gets! Hoping Cheryl or Karina or Emma, but still fear Peta gets him.
Antonio Sabato Jr., may have the looks but his personality seems bland and boring. Hopefully by doing the show it will change my perception of him.
He was just on a talk show with Brooke Burke….he did seem boring. Sorry. GH fans will carry him though. Kelly got the finals and was “eh” IMO and Ingo got pretty far. Just hope he isn’t like William Levy.
Lori #4, I have the same worry as soon as I saw this. Please, please, give him to anyone except Peta, who I believe should already have partners the like that the ones Emma has had.
If you saw Peta’s twitt – she is OVER THE MOON about her partner… I have the strange feeling it’s going to be this guy..
Saw the OTHER pic – I give it a one week, maybe two – before he takes off his shirt…
Sandy and Lex….
Ha! As soon as I saw this I thought, oh crap!
Back in the day I used to think he was so gorgeous and then I saw him in interviews years ago and he was so, so, so BORING. I was so stunned, I couldn’t believe it. He had no personality whatsoever. So I thought when I read this, forgive me, I hope Peta gets him because the poor man had nothing going on underneath. Since Peta’s fallback is skin due to lack of substance, let her have him. They’ll need more to carry them than that.
I really hope Karina or Cheryl don’t get him.
I have never understand why Peta always gets these good-looking guys. I mean come on, she’s a good dancer but so is Sharna, Emma, who have never made it to the MBT with their partners, and they haven’t always had a ringer type. Even Cheryl has had her non-ringer type as also has Karina.
I guess all we can do is wait 8 more days to find out what matches TPTB have put together.
@Ashley L – I was stunned too!
Does anyone remember Antonio’s dating show that aired a few years back? That’s when I realized just how boring he was, he couldn’t even carry the show. What a snoozefest.
He seems like someone who would have been on dwts in the early season’s, back when they couldn’t get as many big names. so it’s kinda weird to see him on here now.
he’s been on a billion random reality shows already lol. (But Can They Sing on VH1, Celebrity Circus, Celebrity Wife Swap, and that celebrity diving show on Fox lol)
Actually, I DON’T want Cheryl to get him. She was checked out when paired with William Levy during S14 and relied on his sex appeal to carry them thru to the finals and it ended up backfiring on them. And please dear GOD, not Peta! I HOPE that they give him to Emma!! Or better yet, Allison!
Not sure were to type this so I guess here. On the Pretty Little Liars after buzz show from the finale last night, one of the guys said that one of the cast members from PLL will be on this season of dwts. Hes guessing Janel Parrish whos character was just killed off during last nights show. Which would make since because she put a pic up on ig two days ago in a car with the captaiN ‘on my way to my first day of a fun new experience.”
I am very happy if he will be on the show. I liked him and his character, Jagger Cates, on GH! I have watched him in guest shots and other shows, too. He is definitely very handsome! So, I am ready to see what he brings to the ballroom. He is definitely very fit and athletic. Look him up on imdb. He has a pretty nice filmography.
I really hope Emma gets a younger man this time. I mean I loved her and Engvall so much and was thrilled with them. And Billy Dee wasn’t a contender. But, just hope she gets someone nearer her age this time.
Thanks Kelly, just posted a new post on her. THANKS!
@kelly There was a reason why Cheryl was pretty checked out with William. It was hard to get invested for her with him, because of his wife. His wife did not allow Cheryl to come close @ all off camera~ Because of his infidelity history . Not a lot of people knew what was going on behind . It was tough for Cheryl. You know William and Cheryl do not speak to one another? And Cheryl unfollowed him and his wife soon as season was over!
I kinda want Emma to get him. Just so we get to see her longer. Or Sharna….if she is the mysterious thirteenth pro 🙂 Basically anyone but Cheryl, Peta, or Allison
I predict an early exit for him if cast.
I have wondered with William, if the reason Cheryl didn’t do more with him is because he wasn’t the brightest bulb on the tree to learn very quickly, and wasn’t perhaps a very hard worker to compensate, and despite having a buff body, wasn’t very strong at all and couldn’t do even basic lifts. Then with her being likely burnt out, just went with wth, work the sexy angle and don’t ask any more of him. It worked out well enough for both of them I guess.
There was a lot going on then . Don’t forget William also had a busted ankle pretty much all season! I remember Cheryl mentioning she had to ease up and alter the choreography, because tough 4r him to put pressure on his ankle @ all. It was tougher for him to do lifts for that reason maybe. N there was some tension off cam that not a lot of people knew about. It was tough for Cheryl build a good working relationship with him when she was not even allowed to converse with him outside the studio and get to know him. It’s tough, when spouses couldn’t be supportive and can get very insecure! You put that all together, and Cheryl maybe did not have any choice, but go on that easy path! Me thinks at least.
I hope he dances this season. Like some other commenters, I want to see him get Emma.
Kat, “good looking” does NOT equal ringer.
@ Princess Heidi…#24
You are right. Looks doesn’t always mean a ringer potential. I went back and looked at when Peta’s first time on the show (Season 13)and she and her partner was eliminated the first week. Ron Artest was 6′ 7″ tall. Season 14 (her 2nd season) she had Donald Driver and they went all the way to the MBT. That was the season I was enjoying Katherine Jenkins. Sometimes it’s not looks it can be if both Pro and Celebrate partner have a big fan base. Sometimes both have the looks and the big fan base plus great dancing. I guess after the celebrates are presented on GMA, it will give a better idea for season 19.
After just watching Brooke Burke Charvet and Antonion Sabato, Jr., together doing the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge I am fairly confident that Antonio is probably doing the show this season.
Does he remind anyone else of Cristian de la Fuente, Cheryl Burke’s Season 6 partner? For that reason I can imagine him with Cheryl. But if he’s as dull of a personality as everyone says, i think he needs someone energetic and perky like Emma or Witney to balance him out.
I gotta agree with Princess Heidi on the looks thing.
Just look at Jack Wagner. He had loads of personality and women seem to love him (in all fairness though if I looked like him at his age I would be a happy man too lol) but he didn’t get too far.
@Kay: Cristian kinda grew on me as the season went along. In the beginning I was like “eh” then he hurt himself and didn’t quit and I was like “Ok this is dedication”.
