What's up, guys? Leslie Robbins here for Young Hollywood inside IDA Hollywood where I am going one-on-one with Olympic champ and Dancing with the Stars contestant, Simone Biles.
Five. I hate you. I hate you. Okay, let's do something. But I like that. Yeah. That's good. Okay. Say it again here, first. One. Two. Oh, we don't jump twice. We just jump once. No, we don't. We don't. I already forgot. No, we don't. Do it. Five, six, seven, and eight. I messed up this dance on show day. That's why he's making me do it again.
Wow. She didn't really screw it up.
Yes, I did.
She didn't really like she's that professional that she kind of like she did the same step twice, so she meant to walk out and like go, one, two, three, four. And then instead of doing that, she just went one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, then and then I did it again.
And then she did it again.
That's why that wasn't the perfect score one.
No, no, no, no, no. No, no. Clearly not.
What did they knock you off for it?
No, nobody caught it. We were lucky because she played it off that well.
I'm very lucky to be with her. Cuz she was like, "Nope. Not even. There it is." So you guys do it with me. He wants us to do our thing, but Sasha's trying to do your thing.
Yeah, no, he's going to He could hurt his manhood.
Now this was always kind of what you wanted to do after the Olympics. It was kind of percolating in your brain?
Yeah, well the opportunities once you go to the Olympics, it kind of opens up. So I was like, man, if I go to the Olympics and maybe I could go on Dancing with the Stars.
I love it. You said, I want to go to Olympics. I'm going to become the greatest gymnast of all time, win four medals amongst all the other medals you have. Yes. But I really wanted you dancing with the Stars. Yes. And when you're in rehearsal, what's your mindset like? Is it like when you're at the gym?
I think it's a little bit different because I've been doing gymnastics my whole life. So it's always been just go, but here we can have a little bit more fun.
Yeah. So being the greatest athlete, gymnast of all time in your sport, How no pressure. Holy moly. I feel like goosebumps already. Oh, well. How do you improve on that? Is it by doing Dancing with the Stars, something out of your comfort zone?
Yeah, I think it's it's a lot of fun to do something I'm not comfortable with sometimes. It's it gets a little scary at times too. But no, it is a lot of fun because I've been in the gym my whole entire life. So hopefully some of this dancing will translate over to gymnastics, but I mean it's still so different worlds.
I just feel like this this competition has matured her so much. It completely two different worlds, but I feel like on a floor routine, even though they don't really look at the dancing, she will just have more of a coordination and maturity in her dance.
Maybe he'll be my new floor choreographer. That would be cool.
Have you ever thought of that one? Ooh. Well, you're in ridiculously tight shape still. She's in amazing shape. How is your workout routine changed?
I don't work out.
Stop it. She doesn't work out.
I have not worked out once since the Olympics.
Stop it. Now your go-to guilty pleasure food-wise is.
Cinnamon. Yeah, I do. I love cinnamon rolls, but like I never eat them.
She's like, he had one. No, that was the day I was dying. You were dying that day. He's still wanting to try it. He's pretty good at it, I'm impressed.
Now, is it true you haven't been on a proper date? You went on one in your life.
Yep. Yeah. We gotta say any things.
What's gonna say what? Secrets. Secrets. Which there's been another date. You went on another date with the guy.
No. I've been out here. I've been practicing. Keeps me in rehearsal. Five, six, seven, and eight. There you go. Oh shoot. What a jump, right? What a jump. Five, six, seven, and eight.
