James Hinchcliffe Weighs In On The Sharna Burgess And Bonner Bolton Romance Rumors, DWTS Week 4 Teaser
Below you can watch James Hinchcliffe weigh in on the Bonner Bolton and Sharna Burgess romance rumors as he thinks there is some interest there.
In other things, see Fox News for a cool feature on Bonner and his personal story for what might take place Monday night on Dancing With The Stars.
“I [believed] I was dying the day it happened and I was saying my last prayer.”
The rider can’t believe he’s gone from “being paralyzed in that bed laying face up… and now dancing on this floor.”
Bolton, who won the bull riding world championship when he was 20, told Fox News, “I was on the rise again when I got hurt.”
He wouldn’t accept that he’d be paralyzed forever: “I kept pushing myself to know and believe that I would walk again, not only would I walk again, I told [doctors] they would see me walk that week before I got out of the hospital — and they had me climbing three flights of stairs.”
The determined bull rider admitted of recuperation, “It was hard to hold a fork the right way for a few months….I couldn’t bathe myself. I had to have help.”
From what I understand, when Sharna was partnered with James, her old boyfriend was still around,too. Think her being available is a pretty darned recent development.
@Pat – Ehhhh…I’m pretty sure Paul was outta the picture by the time season 23 rolled around. She had kinda been seeing someone during season 22, but it fizzled.
And just a general observation Heidi & I made: Hinch’s voice is about 2 octaves higher here than it is normally. He’s fibbing, and I’m pretty sure he may have been asked to do so. The impression I’ve gotten from following him & his podcast is that he’s not really the gossipy type and probably couldn’t care less about whether Sharna’s making the beast with two backs with Bonner, but if he was asked to help a friend out by lending credence to showmance rumors, he would likely oblige them.
Agree with Courtney. More interesting was when he went down a couple of octaves talking about possibly Sharna and his friend getting together.
@Casanova – Admittedly, I was trying to figure out which of Hinch’s “friends” he was referring to. I’m kinda wondering if it was Alexander Rossi, the reigning Indy 500 champ – to my knowledge, he’s single, and his type seems to be “hot brunettes”.
I’ve not commented before but had to jump in here because I so agree with you guys- I actually laughed watching this because it’s a heavily edited version of the full FB live where you could tell he was trying to say what he thought he was supposed to while throwing in a ton of caveats like “I’ve not seen them interact together in person.”
And Courtney I was wondering about Rossi too but in the full version people comment guessing both Rossi and Conor and Hinch specifically says no. And then eventually says it’s not a driver at all.
@MW – If I had to guess, Hinch most likely shot Sharna a text telling her he was about to get interviewed, and she told him to play along with the showmancing. Funny that you mention Conor – fun fact: a local radio station held a Bachelor-esque contest to date Conor, and I made it all the way to the final four (it was a 32-girl, March Madness-style bracket). Without being too blunt, I’ll just say this: Conor is not ready for a girlfriend, much less a force of nature like Sharna 😛 Yeah, if Hinch said it wasn’t Rossi or Conor, I don’t think there’s any other single Indycar drivers. Maybe it was a friend from Canada? Or even his brother…?
Haha Courtney agreed on Conor- I’m more indycar fan than dancing fan and that’s how I found you guys last season so if you find the full interview you’ll crack up at Hinch’s reaction to the Conor question. The interviewer has no idea who Conor is so innocently asks and Hinch’s reaction is classic. The Rossi reply is much calmer as if it would be within the realm of possibility but just a no.
Once he said it wasn’t a driver it seemed like more LA based actor or singer. And wouldn’t give the name because “it’s someone you’ve probably heard of” so that probably takes his brother and most of the Canada crew out of the equation.
@MW – I’ll have to look it up – I’m sure Hinch had to fight the urge to go “Conor is the Kato Kaelin of my house.” 😛
