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.’

“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 glad she said it!! 😉
Julianne MIGHT care in his absence…lol!!! Especially if she’s told to 🙂 And who knows which Carrie Ann will show up tonight.
Hopefully it will be the CAI who can stay in her seat!! Tommy don’t share with her.. please.
During last weeks show all the judges commented about content. I think Lea will do fine tonight as for the judges….we will never know what makes them score the way they do and I am including Len in that. It drives me crazy when Len says, “I hated the music.” Um, okay but what about the dancing.
Artem is a great dancer and a mirror ball champ. Lea and him make a great couple. Some may think he is another like C. brothers, but I don’t get that feeling about him. One thing I can say, he resemble my brother-in-law so much!!
I love Lea’s personalty, and hope she makes it to the finals.
I find myself liking Lea and Artem much more than expected probably because I see them as DWTS throwbacks in an old school choreography, dance without drama (well at least thus far) sort of way.
