Lea Thompson Previews Her “Back To The Future” Dance For Dancing With The Stars – New Interviews, Videos

Lea Thompson talked with TV Guide about Dancing With The Stars. They talk of what it was like to be in jeopardy in Week 1 to leading the pack in Week 2. Lea also previews tonight’s new dance for “movie” night…

Can you talk a little more about your Back to the Future dance?
Thompson: [Artem] wants to be Marty McFly. And I’m like, ‘I will not be dancing the cha cha with my son. It’s not happening. You have to be George McFly.’ … So, that’s been a big bone of contention. He said, ‘But you were in love with [your] son.’ And I said, ‘But my son wasn’t in love with me, so … ‘ (Laughs). So I’ve gotten him to be George McFly. And I wanted the song “Power of Love” from the movie, so that’s what we’re going to do.

Kevin Hart is a guest judge on Monday, so hopefully he’s a Back to the Future fan.
Thompson: Does he know anything about dance? I think that might be bad for us, because Len really appreciates the rule-following that Artem does. We’ll have nobody who cares about the rules! I’m going to be like, ‘Artem, just do whatever you want.’
