Tiktok star and youngest participant in this season 13 of Dancing with the Stars, comedian Roman Doduik is a real live-action guy always ready to make jokes. However, this evening he broke down live, revealing an injury that he has still not managed to overcome.
In the prime of this Saturday, April 5, it was “the battle of the judges”. Each judge had to join a duo and dance live with them, after training with them all week and coaching them.
It was Chris Marques who teamed up tonight with Roman and his dance partner. And, during rehearsals, the judge pushed Roman to really be himself and express his emotions, for a more authentic performance that truly resembles him.
The mask of humor to hide your weaknesses
“All my life, I’ve been hiding behind funny Roman, because the truth is that I’m afraid that people won’t like me. I always hide behind this mask, because that’s all I have to survive with people, with girls and in general. In Dancing with the stars too…”, the comedian had previously declared.

But behind his unfailing humor, the young man also hides a wound that he had until then refused to face.
A sorrow still alive
This evening, Roman Doduik danced to the title of Pierre Garnier, Those we were. But this song revived in the young man the memory of a painful breakup that he had already mentioned with Chris Marques during rehearsals. “My last story, the only one that really mattered. It was, three years ago now, I was very much in love and it ended because at one point, between the career that I wanted to lead and the love story that I wanted to live, the two were not compatible and I had to make a choice”confided the young man.

At the end of his live dance, Roman was in tears, very shaken by all the emotions from the past that were coming to the surface. “ I’m learning about myself. I am learning to love myself. I’m learning to healdeclared, moved, the comedian. “I have a gratitude towards you Ana which is monstrous. Chris, (…) I swear to you that what you bring to me goes beyond the notes, the advice, what you offer me, that goes beyond all that. I heal a little more every second with you”
