DWTS viewers are already daydreaming about the upcoming superstar lineup, and now one unexpected name is creating a lot of online attention. Recently, James Lafferty proposed participating in the ballroom competition, but only if a very rare thing happened first. Fans quickly began asking the actor to join the show after his humorous reaction gained fame on TikTok.
When DWTS pro Ezra Sosa joined the chat with a flirty comment that sent viewers into a frenzy, things became much more fascinating. Later, James openly admits that he wished to carry out the show in another video. However, he added a specific condition to the agreement. What exactly does the ex-cast member of One Tree Hill want?

Rumors about the potential celebrity cast for Season 35 had already caused controversy on the internet. Then James Lafferty’s shocking DWTS condition made the buzz even bigger. Viewers connected Ciara Miller’s recent friendship drama with Amanda Batula and West Wilson to the famous Vanderpump Rules Scandoval incident. Soon, she became one of the most talked-about names on the internet.
While the internet continued to analyze the issue, Ciara secretly secured major opportunities for herself. She landed a hosting role on Love Island USA: Aftersun and a possible spot on DWTS. Savannah Bananas star Jackson Olson stunned fans with his sudden casting news. Meanwhile, Maura Higgins reportedly worked hard for years to join the ballroom.
When a fan asked James if he would ever consider competing on DWTS, he responded. At first, the actor was not sure and said that fans would likely enjoy his debut on the show more for humor than for competition. He laughed while talking about the competition. James joked that viewers would likely enjoy seeing him struggle through the exercises more than seeing him win the trophy. Still, fans welcomed the idea right away and flooded the comments section with love.

The actor also mentioned his Netflix comedy-drama series Everyone Is Doing Great. In the show, he collaborates with Stephen Colletti, another former One Tree Hill cast member. Years after the end of their popular teen drama, the show centers on two former TV stars as they try to make sense of life. Fans became even more interested in the chance when James admitted that his DWTS looks might even inspire future stories for the Show.
However, Ezra Sosa’s public reaction to the concept was the biggest twist. When the DWTS pro said, “He’s hot, I’m down,” fans screamed over the possible collab. James later uploaded another TikTok video in direct response to Ezra, showing that Ezra was “not so bad” himself, and thanked the dancer for the compliment.
James finally revealed the true bombshell at that point. He said he was completely “down” for the moment and admits he really wanted to compete on DWTS. Though he explains that he would only agree on season 35 if Everyone Is Doing Great made it into Netflix’s Top 10 American series. Now, for James to make his ballroom debut, fans are racing to stream the series nonstop. Keep coming back to TV Season & Spoilers for more updates.
