Yesterday Good Morning America announced the cast of Dancing with the Stars 29th season. One familiar face includes Backstreet Boys’ AJ McLean! DWTS posted a video welcoming AJ to the family and asked him a few questions including what he would like his costumes to look like. AJ responded “There really isn’t much I haven’t done. I wore a dress at my wedding, so the louder the better!”

Last week AJ revealed to his fans that he was joining the show saying “We’re going for the mirrorball baby!”

I believe in you AJ! But you do have some pretty stiff competition including Bull Dogs Cheer Coach Monica Aldama, Tiger King’s Carole Baskin, The Bachelorette‘s Kaitlyn Bristowe, Denver Broncos’ Vernon Davis, actress Anne Heche, actress Skai Jackson, actress Justina Machado, The Real host Jeannie Mai, actor Jesse Metcalfe, singer Nelly, former Chicago Bulls forward Charles Oakley, reality host Nev Schulman, actress Chrishell Stause, and Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir.

DWTS made headlines earlier this summer when Tyra Banks was deemed the new host of the show.

You can catch Dancing with the Stars on ABC starting next Monday, September 14!
