Hannah Montana hunk Cody Linley confesses to BOP mag that learning how to dance changed him…for good.

The 19-year-old actor, who recently placed fourth in Dancing With the Stars‘ seventh season, dished that he switched from soccer to samba and his friends didn’t mind a bit.

Cody shared, “They don’t think it’s weird at all. They know how much I love going out there and entertaining people. That’s just my personality.”

Most of the worst dates are usually the most memorable and Cody Linley proves just that to Seventeen.

The 19-year-old Dancing with the Stars alum told the mag all about the worst date he had with pop star Demi Lovato. He shared, “It was really the most up and down night of my life. When I finally got Demi, we went out to eat and I was explaining to her, ‘Yeah, my car, I’m sorry, it broke down,’ and as I’m saying that, it starts making a crazy noise again! And I was like, ‘Oh, oh, oh no,’ and she’s like, ‘What’s happening?’ I was like, ‘Nothing, it’s all good.’ She’s like, ‘Are you sure?’ So I had to stop the car and get out. Demi was really sweet. She held the light for me and put in her car repair advice.”

Cody was grateful to his former girlfriend for helping and being patient with him. He said, “She’s kind of a technology geek in a way. I was trying to use my iPhone to see the engine, and she took my phone away, went to settings, and made the light brighter so I could see better.”

DO YOU HAVE any ‘worst date’ stories?

Cody Linley has taken to MySpace Celebrity to tell everyone all about his experience so far with Dancing with the Stars.

The 18-year-old Hannah Montana hunk revealed even revealed that the transition between professional dancers Edyta Sliwinska and Julianne Hough only made him a better dancer. He writes, “Rehearsals are very fun but are tough too. I go from being extremely excited to super frustrated and overwhelmed all in one day. This season has had a lot of twists and turns and switching partners in the middle of the competition really threw me for a loop. Julianne knows me and knows what I can and can’t do on the dance floor. Both Edyta and Julianne have very different styles of teaching so it was difficult to adjust in the middle of things. But Edyta was amazing and I feel like I am a better dancer because of the transition. Now that Julianne is back, I am ready to win!”

Unfortunately Cody and Julianne were eliminated in last night’s results show but no worries, they’ll be on next week for the Dancing with the Stars finale!

Cody Linley whips out the big guns on the red carpet of the 2008 CMA Awards on Wednesday night in Nashville, Tenn.

The 18-year-old actor is partnered with professional dancer and country cutie Julianne Hough on Dancing with the Stars. He and temporary partner Edyta Śliwińska mambo-ed their way into the semi-finals of the competition. Cody is up against fellow competitors Brooke Burke, Warren Sapp and Lance Bass for the trophy prize.

We’re rooting for you, Cody!!!
