Although Robert won’t miss rehearsing six hours a day, he did admit that it’s hard to say goodbye to the “small group of people” he became very close with. He even confessed that it’s impossible to pick just one celebrity to root for!

“I’m very good friends with Noah Galloway, I wish him all the best,” he said. “I’m a good friend with Rumer Willis; I think she’s an incredibly talented dancer. Nastia Liukin is also great. It could really be anybody’s!”

In addition to gaining friends from the show, the ABC star explained that he has DWTS to thank for helping him get out of his comfort zone.

“Sometimes you have to get yourself out there,” he explained. “It was a very, very scary experience for me to stand in front of 800 people and in front of 20 million viewers live and do something I’ve never done before. It gives you confidence. I’m proud of myself in my own way that I was able to do it."

He also has time for other projects, such as his involvement with Small Business Revolution.

“I’ve partnered with a fantastic company and we have a website called smallbusinessrevolution.org,” he said. “What we’re doing is, we’re profiling 100 businesses across America that you touch everyday, and we’re trying to start a movement to not only give them recognition, but also to allow people to nominate the business that they love by going to the website. One of those businesses, we’re going to give them $25,000, which every small business can use because you never have enough money.”
