‘The Masked Dancer’ Episode 4 Reveals the Identity of the Hammerhead

Gym, tanning, laundry, dancing. “Jersey Shore” star Vinny Guadagnino is the next celebrity to be featured on Fox’s “The Masked Dancer.”

Guadagnino is the person under the Hammerhead shark costume on Wednesday’s edition of the hit series. He was unmasked after dancing on Santa Esmeralda’s version of ‘Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood’.

“I’m not a singer or a dancer, but it’s probably a little more in my wheelhouse,” Guadagnino said Variety. ‘So I was scared, but I think I can make it work, let’s try it. I didn’t even know I was going to pass it like the first week, and I finally fell in love with it and became really competitive with it. It was a wonderful experience. ”

Guadagnino said his childhood dance experience boils down to parties.

“So I had a bit of it, but learning choreography is a whole other sport in itself,” he said. ‘To really jump into it is definitely something hard to do, but it’s in my wheelhouse, I like a challenge and I like to learn something and stimulate my brain to learn and that I get crazy. I practiced like that in my room every night until I got it down because I didn’t want to make it just so half-ass. ”

Then add the costume to it, and Guadagnino put on heavy clothes: ‘I literally wore like a 40-pound muscle suit and you can not even see out of the mask, you can do nothing,’ he said. ‘You lose all your senses, you can barely breathe it. It would be hard enough to learn the choreography alone. ”

Guadagnino said he received the Hammerhead costume, and he immediately thought it was appropriate. ‘Because of course I’m part of’ Jersey Shore ‘, I’m around guys like big muscles, like some of my members. But I’m not that guy, I like the low, thin guy more, so I’m close enough to that character without actually being the character. ‘

Among the panelists, Ken Jeong and Brian Austin Green came close, but with the wrong ‘Jersey Shore’ cast. Jeong thought it was Pauly D, while Green Mike guessed “The Situation” Sorrentino. Paula Abdul thought it was David Dobrik and Ashley Tisdale thought it was Kevin Hart. Guest panelist Whitney Cummings, along with Jeong Pauly D.. New clues for the episode were New Jersey and sunscreen.

‘I was really flattered when I heard names like Zac Efron. “Eminem, Joe Rogan,” Guadagnino said of previous guesses. ‘I’m like good because these are pretty cool guys. So I was happy about it. I think Paula guessed me once, but I’m glad no one really guessed it, but rather that it’s a great revelation. ‘

Regarding the following, Guadagnino said he hopes ‘people just see it and see that I can do different things, I am more than a reality star, who always presents a challenge and entertains people. I hope to continue to be a part of maybe this show, somehow in the future or other shows like this. I love entertaining and just want to keep doing it. ”

Guadagnino previously danced to ‘Everybody’ by Backstreet Boys and ‘Blinding Lights’ by The Weeknd. The panelists’ previous guesses included Carrot Top, Joe Jonas, Zac Efron, Ryan Seacrest, Joe Rogan and Guadagnino’s co-star “Jersey Shore” Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino.
