Vincent Pastore quits Dancing with the Stars after finding it too tough
Well, there are so many ways you could write the headline when the person who quits Dancing with the Stars after finding it too tough is best known for playing a character named “Big Pussy”. But I degress. However, Vincent Pastore, who played the infamous character on the Sopranos, has quit the popular reality show competition after finding it just too tough.
“When I initially committed to joining Dancing with the Stars, I didn’t realize just how physically demanding it would be for me,” the 60-year-old actor said in a statement. “Unable to put forth my best effort, I felt it appropriate to step aside and give someone else the opportunity.”
“I’d like to thank ABC and the show’s producers for inviting me to participate,” he added. “I wish my partner, Edyta, and the other dancers the best of luck.”
His partner, Edyta Sliwinska, told E! News’ Samantha Harris she was “sad” about Pastore’s departure.
“We started to practice and we had two very good practices, but it was just physically too hard for Vincent,” she said. “He had a heart operation about a year and a half ago and he put on some weight. He just couldn’t do it. He was too tired.”
Wonder who will be stepping up to fill his dancing shoes?
