Romeo did an exclusive interview with Kraze Magazine where he delved into the juicy details about his time on dancing with the stars, what it’s like to be famous, why he went to film school and what he plans to do next in his career. Here are some questions he answered!
What do you look for in a woman?
I love a smart, educated woman. And I love eyes…[they are] the key to the soul. I’m very open—minded. I don’t really have a certain type. I feel everybody brings something different to the table. You know, you gotta flaunt what you’re best at. Don’t step out of your element. You gotta highlight what makes you,you.
What’s it like to get so much attention from girls and even older women?
Girls that I use to try to talk to, now they want to talk to me. “[they say things] like, ‘Oh you were on my favorite show.’ It’s really funny just to see the response that I’m getting from different types of people. It’s just like in school having that girl that you always wanted to talk to, now she notices you.
Tell us about “Dancing With The Stars”
I was dancing with a cause, I wasn’t just dancing to do it. I wanted to show the kids that you can’t be afraid to fail [and that] it’s okay to try new things. Me coming from the hip hop world, the last thing on earth that I would [want] to do is dance in front of millions of people because I’m not a dancer. But, the dropout rate is crazy. Three out of every 10 high school students are dropping out now and I think it’s because they’re afraid to fail. And I think that me doing the show…if I can do that then anything is possible.
Why did you stop playing basketball?
It was really hard for me to give up basketball because [I’ve] played it my whole life. Will Smith told me, ‘Romeo, would you rather [have] my career, as a 40-year-old, I’m just in my prime; or Michael Jordan’s career, where you’re 25-years-old and your prime is over, your career is over?’ And I’m like, ‘Hey, I can’t argue with that.’”
