DEMPSEY’S CIRCUS SECRET
ENCHANTED star PATRICK DEMPSEY has credited his juggling skills with becoming a Hollywood success.
The actor admits his circus skills introduced him to the world of performing, long before he took up acting.
He says, "As a kid I started off juggling and loved it. I was second in the International Jugglers’ competition in the junior division in 1982. I loved ski racing, I was a big skier and I remember my ski teacher was in a vaudeville troupe and he happened to be juggling and I told him I would like to learn.
"I was naturally good at it. I went home and practiced all night and he introduced me to some great clowns and jugglers. Then suddenly the town where I lived in Maine had become the hotbed for a new Vaudevillian movement and juggling opened a whole new world for me and started me off as a performer."
