Death-Defying Tricks on Celebrity Circus

Welcome to Young Hollywood. com. Death defying tricks, celebrities flying through the air. You're about to see it all as Young Hollywood and TV Guide take you to the set of Celebrity Circus. I'm here with Joey Fatone, the host of the show and I have to say that you are the best host that they could have ever picked.

Oh, thank you. I'm trying to be, it's a lot of fun. I don't have to do any of this crazy stuff. I'm excited.

Well, you're a clown.

Pretty much, yeah. That's good. I can't help that.

You said you've never done a trick but I we just saw you do it.

Yeah, well, they kind of threw me up there. It's such a rush of just basically it's being upside down because you have the blood flow to your brain. I might have got smarter for like two seconds.

And now facing the whale of death, We Man. So, I am here with We Man and I have to say that I'm still shaking right now from seeing you up there on that wheel. Were you scared?

No, I wasn't scared. I was probably scared the first few times I tried it and I will say one of the first few times I was on the outside of it, I got it going so fast, I had to jump off.

Oh my god.

And I jumped over the guys that are supposed to catch me.

Well, everyone knows you from Jackass and that you're totally fearless. So, I mean, they expect it to be you up there.

Yeah, of course.

What is the worst injury that you've had?

I was skateboarding one day at my friend's mini ramp. And I spiral fractured my right femur. And right now I have a titanium rod in it.

And how are you doing this with that?

Oh, it's cuz I'm like the Six Million Dollar Man. I'm rebuilt.

I'm here with the gorgeous Rachel Hunter and I have to say you look like a princess up there. What is the feeling up there when you're flying through the air?

When you get up there and you're spinning, it's fine. It's when you're upside down and split upside down and you're looking at the floor and it's like 50 feet away, that's kind of scary. Yeah, but you know what, you just have to keep going.

What's the biggest fear that you had to overcome from doing the show?

Heights is one thing. I mean, we have to deal with it on a daily basis and and you just got to keep doing that. The pain is constant.

Go, save the line and with that in it, it's Antonius Junior. I'm here with Antonio Sabato Junior again and we were here at the dress rehearsal. How stoked are you about this performance you just did?

So happy and excited.

We saw you up there. You looked like Superman. I mean, literally like Superman up there in the air saving the girl.

The nerve-wracking part is actually finishing the number and actually doing it uh safely. Because there's a lot of stuff going on and I don't have a harness up there. So and you don't want to slip.

America's vote is really important to this competition. What is it that you're going to do to get them to vote for you?

Anything I can. I mean, I just want to give them a show, a lot of the Italian passion that I I I believe to have and great performance.

How do you keep your mind in this act?

You lose your mind. You don't keep your mind. You have to let go. It's not about thinking.

So you kept twirling and twirling. What is the key to actually keeping the straight body line?

It's muscles. It's your muscles. It's your, you know, your core, learning how to control your body and where you are and what you're doing.

You have broken world records. You have won gold medals. And now you're in the circus.

Being the athlete, um coming on the show, everyone thought, well, you're the ringer, you know, you're going to win because you're an athlete and yeah. My thought is, I only know how to swim. This has been a real lesson for me to learn how to do things that were completely out of my comfort zone.

Tell us about the tricks that you're going to be performing.

I'm going to be hanging upside down off from one leg. Uh, spinning at about 30, 40 miles per hour. It's so much fun. I look like, you know, an NBC bird right now. I look like the peacock. I'm totally like representing for NBC.

I am here with Christopher Knight. Everybody remembers you as Peter Brady on The Brady Bunch. I was like originally young Hollywood. Well, we're so excited to see you.

They're setting up for the high wire. I don't plan on falling off of it. But the harness would catch me if I did. There's no pad, so I mean, I'm not going to splat on the ground. Dropping the pole would be ugly. It might actually go right through the floor and into the parking structure below us or bounce into the audience.

Hey, what's up, it's Joey Fatone and you're watching Young Hollywood. Don't go away. Fun stuff.
