Stephen Nedoroscik gets first-ever spray tan for “DWTS” Disney Night: 'I look just like Hercules, I hope!'
The Olympian went from zero to hero with the help of the "Dancing With the Stars" make-up team.
A star is born with the help of a spray tan!
On Tuesday's Disney Night on Dancing With the Stars, gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik went from Olympian to Olympus portraying Greek hero (and demi-god) Hercules alongside pro partner Rylee Arnold's Megara as they danced to "A Star Is Born" from 1997's Hercules.

Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold on 'DWTS"To get in character, Nedoroscik got his first-ever spray tan from the DWTS make-up team. While rehearsing with Arnold, he quipped that he "might be too pale." She teased that "it might be time," and she was right. The video package showcased Nedoroscik's before and after, with the tan accentuating his six-pack abs.
Arnold shared a more in-depth video of Nedoroscik getting tanned, featuring him smiling and laughing while artists sprayed him up and down with their tanning machine. "Oh he is so ready to be hercules on @dancingwiththestars tonight!!!" Arnold wrote on Instagram.
The tan seemed to do the job, with judge Carrie Ann Inaba saying, "You danced that like a hero." Judge Derek Hough called back to Nedoroscik's time on the Olympics this summer, noting, "On the Olympics, when you took off your glasses, a star was born."

Nedoroscik was completely game for the tan. "It feels great," he told cohost Julianne Hough when she asked about it after his dance. "I look just like Hercules, I hope. I’m loving it."
The couple scored a 24 with eights across the board from the judges for their Grecian-inspired Charleston. The duo have never scored lower than a seven this season, and they haven't received less than an eight from a judge since "Hair Metal Night."
