EntertainmentNow editor Lauren Weigle caught up with Sasha Farber at the convention, and he graciously shared what he’s most looking forward to this weekend.
“I am excited for my cooking class because it’s going to be seasoned to perfection,” the dancer told us. “And just dancing, playing games with the fans. We’re legit. We’re really testing the boundaries, we’re going to have such a good time.”
Sasha Farber is notorious for playing pranks on his fellow DWTS castmates. Of course, we wanted to know about the behind-the-scenes antics.
So far, the dancers have been locked in and taking the convention very seriously. But it could just be a matter of time before chaos breaks out.
“Nothing has happened this weekend because we’ve been in like, ‘let’s get this on the road mode,’ and rehearsing, and this and that. But there will definitely be some pranks. This is for sure,” Sasha promised.
