Milo Manheim Opens Up More About His Time in the Circus

Milo Manheim is about to make his ballroom debut on Dancing With The Stars tonight and one little thing that fans might not know about him is that he used to be in a circus!

The 17-year-old told JJJ about it in his 10 Fun Facts feature, and in a recent interview, Milo opened up a little more about why he joined and his experiences.

“I was in the circus for about two to three years. I’m a tall guy, I’m like 6’3″,” Milo shared. “My friend was short for his age then. Now, he’s about 5’5″, but he was much smaller when he was in the circus.”

Milo explained that he and his friend did an acrobatic routine: “It was hilarious and impressive too. I would just throw him up in the air and it was just crazy.”

Another thing that Milo did was walk on globes.

“They were these huge plastic balls. I could jump rope and juggle on them…that was my thing. It was fun. It was touring and having fun with friends.”

Check out his full interview below, and watch Milo on DWTS tonight @ 8PM ET/PT on ABC!
