DWTS’ – Cameron Mathison On Cheryl Burke’s Podcast

The All My Children alum recently joined Dancing With The Stars legend Cheryl Burke on her podcast, “Sex, Lies, And Spray Tans.  Mathison explained that when he was only two years old he was diagnosed with a rare bone disease that was damaging his hips. 

The doctor’s solution was Forrest Gump-esque metal leg braces that kept his legs open and made it impossible to walk or stand until he was 7 years old.

The Drew Cain portrayer explained to Burke, “Had to wear a big metal frame brace on my legs for four years, night and day. I had to sleep with it.  I had to lift myself up and swing forward and land and then move my crutches and lift up and swing. That’s how I would walk.”

Mathison went on to make a sad confession and admitted that he “was the kid that moms told their kids not to stare at.”  And, if you are a mom of a curious child, you know EXACTLY what he means.
