ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How much dancing experience did you have going into the show?
VINNY GUADAGNINO:Not very much, just kind of dancing in clubs.
But that was really it.
Of all the routines you did on the show, which would you say was the hardest?
They were all kind of hard, but the last one was more ballroom punch in.
I’m always up for the challenge, but it was a little challenging for me.
You mentioned breakdancing, and I know some of that ended up in one of your performances.
Did you tell the producers you wanted to do that?
And in those little moments we tried to do some b-boy stuff.
I wanted to try them all.
I was getting addicted to the process, and learning something new every week.
So it’s safe to say you’re disappointed you didn’t make it to the next round?
Oh, I was distraught.
We have to talk about your costume.
What was your favorite part about it?
My favorite part was just who the character was in general, the Hammerhead.
So I knew how to kind of act like a Hammerhead.
My least favorite part though, was the actual costume.
That thing, I never want to put it on again.
I bet it was very hard to see in that thing, too.
See, it was like 40 pounds of a muscle suit, because those aren’t my real muscles.
How did you feel about the judges guessing all of yourJersey Shorecastmates?
I kind of liked it.
I liked that they were close, but I like being the guy that surprises people.
I like when people sleep on me and I shock them.
It makes it pay off in the reveal even bigger.
Like I said, this is kind of who the Hammerhead is.
Have any of the other cast members reached out to you about the show?
Why do they keep talking about me?"
I just change the subject real quick, because I don’t want to blow my cover.
What did you take away from yourMasked Dancerexperience?
Definitely a newfound love for dancing and appreciation for it, and respect for what people do.
So I’m glad I did it.
We’ll make it work.
What’s next for you?
Right nowJersey Shore: Family Vacationis airing 8 p.m. on Thursdays, and I continue to do that.
I hope to put out more.
I haveanother page called Keto Guidoand people can follow me just for that kind of stuff.
So I’m busy.
I’m having a good time.
