So here we are Young Hollywood crashing another Dancing with the Stars rehearsal.

Young Hollywood

And this adorable couple right here, Mr. Milo Manheim and his amazing Whoa.

Whitney Carson

That's an understatement.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. Keep it going. Talented, amazing, talented, talented. Super short. Beautiful. Beautiful. Yeah. Inside and out. Short, but I'm short too, so it's okay. That's fine. It's a normal size. Um, what else are you? Before I say her name. What other what adjective?

Milo Manheim

You are not normal.

Whitney Carson

She is loco.

Young Hollywood

What the Miss Whitney Carson In a good way. In a good way.

Whitney Carson

Thank you, everybody. Thanks for coming. I can introduce you.

Young Hollywood

Oh, right. Oh, where was my cool introduction? It's fine. I'll get to it. See, this is I think what has gotten you so far. This chemistry. It's palpable. How do you even create this? This is amazing.

Milo Manheim

You can't really create it. We just vibe. Yeah. Like the second I walked in here, it was just like we're very outgoing people and I think our personalities just work. Mhm. And I I look forward to coming here every day to be with this one. And we just have the best time ever.

Young Hollywood

And your mom. Yes. Emmy Award-winning. Miss Camera Manheim. It's in your blood. I think that's where you get this from.

Milo Manheim

Obviously. I mean, definitely I figured out what I love to do super quick because I was always on set. And, you know, my mom was always taking me to cool events and stuff. And I realized that I I love this. It's what I love to do. So I started doing musicals when I was super young. And it I'm super lucky to have her because I can ask her anything about the business and she knows pretty much everything.

Young Hollywood

What are some takeaways that you've learned being on set your entire life?

Milo Manheim

I've noticed that no matter what's going on in your life, keeping a positive attitude is key. And I know that sounds so cheesy, but after a long day of just doing like acting or whatever and just being so tired, if you just keep your spirits up, it makes it so much better. And that's a choice you can make. Okay? I know. So you can be happy if you want to be happy. You can be sad if you want to be sad. So be happy.

Young Hollywood

Very wise words for a gentleman still in his teens. Yes, for a 17-year-old, I'm pretty impressed.

Milo Manheim

I'm woke.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. For a person who has snack time, I'm pretty impressed. Oh my god. It's great. We're talking about you being from good Hollywood stock. You've had some A-list fans, support. Kim Kardashian, Celine Dion.

Milo Manheim

I know. That was crazy. That was crazy. We actually had no idea about Celine Dion. The show actually surprised us with her. Yeah. I had no idea. And then you know Kendall from What happened was the Kardashians were doing this poker event. And they had no idea how to play poker. So they found me and my mom because we love to play poker. It's like what we do. We're gamers, you know? And we basically just went over to Kendall's house. And we taught Kendall, Courtney, Kim, and Kris how to play poker like all day. And we just they're awesome. I'm pretty sure they did well in the competition, which I'm very proud of because I did teach them how to play, so I'm gonna be jealous. Taught them everything. And now they're shouting us out on Twitter. That was the best day ever. They're super supportive.

Young Hollywood

That's amazing.

Milo Manheim

Yeah. It was really cool.

Young Hollywood

Okay. Speaking of teaching I want you guys to teach me some dance moves.

Milo Manheim

Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's easy. I mean, I would talk to her about that.

Whitney Carson

Do you want to do salsa?

Young Hollywood

Oh, that sounds so much fun. But by the way, you're a triple threat. Like you know how to dance.

Milo Manheim

I'm trying. I'm really trying. It's it's so does not come naturally. No.

Whitney Carson

Yeah, and it doesn't. I have to say, it does not come naturally, which is shocking because by the end of the week, it's like he is a natural dancer, but he works so hard every single day to make sure that he is the best that he can be. So I definitely have to give him credit for that because he does work very hard. Trust me.

Milo Manheim

I think before every show, I'm like the most nervous person ever.

Young Hollywood

You're really nervous.

Milo Manheim

I can't even stand up backstage sometimes. I'm like like my legs don't work.

Young Hollywood

Really?

Milo Manheim

Yeah. I get so nervous. Night one. You get nervous? Wait. I was positive I was going to throw up mid dance. But I did not.

Whitney Carson

You did not. And you nailed it. And you killed it.

Milo Manheim

Okay. So we did this in our routine. So Okay. Good luck. Okay. So you go one, you basically just push it out. Oh, we're really salsa. So you go one, put your arms like this. Yeah. And then you just swing it around. Pull for your right to the other. Then you do the other side. Left. Then you swing it around.

Young Hollywood

Wait. Are you doing hips too?

Milo Manheim

Yeah, yeah. And then swing your hips out. So you go so you go right. Swing it. And then you go left. Swing it. Perfect. You're so good. Then you do a little salsa. Cross and salsa. Oh, I never get the front. It's okay. And then you go flick your foot, tap it with your hand. There you go. Thanks, Milo. And then you go step look. And you look to the camera. You have to go. Yeah. It's like six, seven, eight, we go one to the roll. Left to the roll. There you go. Now cross in front, salsa. Five, six, seven, flick, step. You ready? She's excited. What is it? This swing me? Yeah, yeah. Just swing right. Okay. Five and six and seven and eight. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Now I'm ready. I'm ready for impact. Okay. Ready? Five, six, seven and a one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Are you kidding? You're so good. You watched our salsas before this, didn't you? No. She studied the whole I bet you she knows the whole thing. And she's just lying right now. Like there's no way you just learned that.

Young Hollywood

I did just learn it. Oh my gosh. Good job. Crowd. Thank you. Proud. Very proud. That's a competitor right there. That's someone to look out for if she's ever on the show. Look out for, guys. Look out.
