The Chilean actor is recuperating from arm surgery after his injury on Dancing With the Stars Cristián de la Fuente will soon reclaim the dance floor. Two weeks after his arm surgery, the sexy 33-year-old Chilean actor is feeling much better. The tendon he ruptured while dancing with partner Cheryl Burke on ABC’s popular dance show, is healing.”*

“Dancing With the Stars” contestant Cristián de la Fuente and partner Cheryl Burke were performing the samba on the show’s April 28 episode when de la Fuente tore a tendon his left arm and went directly from the studio to a hospital.

Days before his eventful performance last night, actor and dancer Cristián de la Fuente told me he was looking forward to this week’s performance.

“This week, we have the Viennese Waltz and we have the samba. I’m really working hard because if we survive this week, we survive the bloody Tuesday – that’s what we call it – or torture the Latino Tuesday, because you have casual Friday’s and torture the Latino Tuesday. “*

Actor and dancer Cristián de la Fuente has made it through several elimination rounds on the wildly popular ABC’s ballroom-dance competition series, “Dancing With the Stars,” where de la Fuente is paired with professional ballroom dancer Cheryl Burke.

The show airs competitions on Monday and eliminations on Tuesday.
