Nathan looks so cute in that Mickey ear hat!

I imagine his international fan clubs must be going crazy over pics of him in Mickie ears. Disney should pay him for free advertisement.

 

[oatmella]

No one has ever looked cuter in Mickey ears

Wonder if his name is embroidered on the back

 

[Mamamiia]

Nathan made me watching DWTS for the first time with eyes fixed on audience

[hhh]

Nathan keeps making eye contact with the camera! He can’t help it!

He can’t help it haha and the camera can detect his hotness with uv ray sensor.

We already have a preliminary plan set out so it should be good."

That plan also involves Chen returning to Southern California to work with his coach, Rafael Arutunian, during breaks. "I'm going to be home probably four months out of the year, anyway, just for summer break, spring break, etc. I'd have to use that time to really work with him," Chen said. "I'll also try to bring him out every now and then if he's available. I know he has a lot of students back in California right now, but as much as he can. And outside of that I'll check in with him at the end of every week and go from there."
——————
Not so sure this preliminary plan is “good”.

Sounds like he’s aware of the incoming stars to Raf’s team and likely fine tune the scheduling while he’s town and more so as school starts. The major thing is sprouting like wildflowers, I wonder if the writers just chip in their own guess as they see fit...

A bit of funny seeing him on local channel haha ABC - maybe Yuki can get him a Disney binding contract

No that seat is deliberate! They want him in as visible as possible! ABC has noticed him.

Yes definitely. ABC/DWTS knew what they were doing

Oh this is too much - I love Disneyland! (California and Tokyo are the best) I (not so secretly) love Mickey ears especially with name embroidered on the back!

Nathan wearing Mickey ears

 

[hhh]

What he does have the mickey hat? Let me check if I have the same one, feel one inch closer to him now

Nathan seems to be in all the shots

and Tonya was great :luv17:

The front seats are prearranged especially by the judging panel haha

Happy for Tonya but sad the viewers aren’t willing to give her a second chance...

Well Nathan was one of the most visible Olympians in Korea, so it makes sense the want to keep him visible. But some reason, I feel like Nathan must a have a je non sais quoi that companies want to capitalize on.

I think these are the Mickey ears Nathan is wearing:

Yes Nathan clearly has the je ne sais quoi/it factor that is obvious to all

He's a real cutie

 

[sheetz]

I think the producers know that this season of DWTS will have a larger proportion of figure skating fans than usual watching so they want to put high profile skaters in the audience to hook the viewers.

It is TEN times cuter on TV. You must see!!!

@buttercup2015 @frida80

Yes, even Jackie was commenting he is almost in all shots. Even if he is not, his hands are in

and Jackie has this comments Nathan "has really been practicing his Lvl4 applauding"

 

[hhh]

Like Johnny said, his swagger (also confirmed by his sister Alice) and his accomplishment athletically and academically, is too market appealing not to notice, he’s crossed the sports fields and can carry a strong young consumer base.

Disney! Disney! Disney!

Wonder if he’ll jump on the opportunity to take a few photos with the local NBA stars and the legend Kareem.
