Eric Roberts exclusively told Us Weekly that he was the first person who was asked to compete on 'Dancing With the Stars' season 1 nearly 20 years ago
Good things come to those who wait — and Eric Roberts has waited nearly 20 years to get his shot to compete on Dancing With the Stars.
Roberts was one of 13 celebrities who were announced as a part of the DWTS season 33 cast on Wednesday. He is known for his legendary acting resume, having appeared in over 800 movies and TV shows since beginning his career in the 1970s and scoring a 1986 Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for his role in Runaway Train. Acting is a talent that runs in Eric’s family, as he is the brother of Julia Roberts and the father of Emma Roberts.
Despite being comfortable on the big and small screen, Eric — who told Us he doesn’t think he will take home the mirrorball trophy — noted that he was initially “scared to death” by Stewart, 34, and the prospect of competing on DWTS.“This is hard and I'm not a dancer. She is a dancer, and she has to talk from the ground up with me and I felt terrible,” he shared. “But she makes me happy every day.
