Evanna Lynch Reveals Why She Joined 'Dancing With The Stars'
Evanna Lynch and partner Keo Motsepe ham it up for the cameras during their appearance at Planet Hollywood in New York City on Wednesday afternoon (September 12).
The 27-year-old Harry Potter actress has revealed her motivation for why she signed up for Dancing With The Stars.
“I really wanted to challenge myself,” she shared in a video soundbite from the series. “I’ve never done anything like this. It’s reality TV, six days a week and being in front of people.”
Evanna added, “When I’m left to my own devices, I’m much more of a wallflower…I’m very introverted. If you don’t tell me what to do, I just stay at home and read. That is my happy place, but it’s not my best place.”
She also says that her new journey on DWTS can kind of be compared to her journey on Harry Potter.
“You should be constantly pushing yourself…that’s what Harry Potter did for me when I was 14. I was shy, I was afraid of everyone and having to be in the spotlight and be a part of this huge franchise, it brought me out of myself in a way that made me happier,” Evanna says. “I needed another push and that was this is for me. I want to challenge myself and be scared every day and face it.”
Dancing With The Stars premieres on Monday, September 24th on ABC.
