PureDWTS Season 21 Cast Possibility: Nick Carter?
Gonna preface this with my usual “take this with a grain of salt” warning, as it seems like this might be reeeealllly early for the pros to be meeting their partners – but as it is a slow news day and I did find this rather curious, I will go ahead and share. Special thanks to CM for the heads up on this.
Looks like Nick Carter of The Backstreet Boys just started following Sharna out of the blue – maybe he just met her at a party in L.A., maybe he just thought she looked like a cool person to follow, who knows…but the timing is interesting.
Also interesting? This Instagram post from Sharna yesterday, without any sort of context:
Maybe Sharna was just having a good day, maybe she had just gotten word that she was going to be a pro again this season…who knows. But just seemed rather coincidental that both of the above events would happen on the same day.
I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch for Nick to do the show – he’s from the only major boy band that DWTS has yet to cast from, plus his brother Aaron did the show back in 2009. And from the looks of the Backstreet Boys’ schedule, he’s free and clear until May of 2016. I think he’d be fun to watch, and if Sharna is, indeed, his partner – I think they’d be a good match.
Thoughts?
ETA: Apparently this screen shot is making the rounds among the Nick Carter fans – some guy named John is claiming on Instagram that Nick’s wife, Lauren, confirmed the other day on the set of his movie that he IS doing DWTS this season. Take it with a big grain of salt, as it’s basically some random guy claiming he heard something (and his IG account is conveniently private) without anyone being able to verify it. But who knows – maybe we’re not as crazy here at Pure as some seem to think we are 😉
I would love to see this pairing dance every week. I’m taking it all with a grain of salt, but wow these two would be amazing.
Hmm…interesting and other than recording new Backstreet music the only other thing he is working on is a movie called Dead 7(or dead west) that co stars Joe Fatone. Unless he gave her a part in the movie I’d say it seems like DWTS might be a possibility.
If it is DWTS related, could it be an instance of the producers wanting Nick, and him requesting Sharna as an incentive to say yes?
Oh, how I’d love it if he was dancing!!! I’ve always loved Nick and the Backstreet Boys!
@Amanda – Heard that he & Fatone were promoting it pretty heavily at ComiCon. Wonder if DWTS is another avenue to promote the movie?
Now that is a pairing that I would support 100 percent. Let’s just hope that he has the natural dance ability that his brother had. 🙂
So I just watched a bunch of their videos on YouTube and now I’m more excited for this than before. This guy can work a crowd too.
I am all for this 🙂 Huge fan of the BSB and I like Nick a lot.
If this is indeed an indication that he might be on the show, I’m all for it! He and Sharna would look good together.
Random thought: didn’t we hear Nick Lachey’s name thrown out by one of those craptastic sources a few weeks ago? What if it wasn’t entirely wrong…and they just had the wrong Nick from the wrong boy band? 🙂
@courtney: I hope that is the case becuase I prefer watching nick carter than nick lackey lol. Plus i feel like it might be lachey overload on TV lol….the show on vh1 in the morning and the one with the bar already adding dwts might be overkill.
Interesting. I did see that Sharna IG and wonder, she’s usually very open about good or bad things when she posts. She made a surprise visit back to Australia too in last several weeks because she said something to effect she wouldn’t be able to for quite a bit (not direct quote.) If it’s true makes you wonder if he’s good are they looking for him and Sharna on Winter Tour? Someone previously said he seemed clear until May 2016. And DWTS would love the cross over BSB/DWTS audience they should get on tour. I like Sharna so I hope it’s true but please DWTS no pimping this season! Let the pros teach & dancers dance with realistic scores.
Now that is an exciting, great rumor. Hope it’s true.
The 90’s baby in me is so hoping this is true!!
Eh, they might get him on DWTS, but there is no way he’ll go on tour with DWTS. Why would he?
And DWTS better not do a winter tour again – they keep going to that well and they’ll have no tour at all again before you know it. They just too GREEDY.
I just learned, via BSB fans tagging Sharna in their tweets, that Nick also has a solo album coming out. (Who knew?) That would probably get a nice chunk of promotion for him if he were on the show.
It’s possible, in fact I’d go as far as likely, and seems like a good idea, but Sharna was born in 86, so she’d be about the right age to possibly be a huge BSB fan, and I’m not sure but I think they were big in Australia. Maybe she just met him, and she’s fangirling a bit. Of course the same goes for getting him as a partner, but as you say, it seems rather early for the pairings to happen. In alternative news, if this is true why the Hell do they not forbid the pros and celebs from socialising online until the big reveal?
I’ve been waiting for a BSB to do the show for awhile now. Either Sharna or Emma would be a great partner. I hope this is a thing and not just so much hoo ha.
Sharna mentioned on her periscope that she’s dancing in the DWTS Live tour next winter if there is one ( https://www.puredwts.com/2015/08/12/sharna-burgess-asked-about-dancing-with-the-stars-season-21-and-more-keep-peta-murgatroyd-in-your-thoughts/ ). I agree Heidi. They are pushing it.
And I agree. Please TPTB, no pimping just because you plan to have a celeb(s) do the winter tour. *rolleyes*
I like Sharna, hope she gets a celeb with enough natural ability that she can turn into some good dancing, and I wouldn’t mind seeing that combo win. However, I don’t want TPTB to decide it’s “Sharna’s season”.
Nick filmed a video yesterday. Maybe Sharma was in it.
The production company posted a photo on Instagram: https://instagram.com/p/6Qew_jxMh4/?taken-by=pbjoint
Is Sharma the lady on the far right?
@Mike – Not Sharna.
I agree with Court. That isn’t Sharna.
Definitely not Sharna.
100% not Sharna. It’s hard to tell in a black and white photo, but that woman looks like she might be South Asian.
Apparently Nicks wife Lauren said yesterday on the set of the movie they’re filming that nlNick is doing DWTS this season. We shall see.
@Dee – Source?
Oh. I am so hoping this rumor is true!!
