I used to try and do backflips a lot, but I used to bang my head more often than not, so I gave it up.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm very acrobatic. I can do backflips and all that crazy stuff.
All I had to do was go out and perform. One of the hardest things was doing those back flips, where you had to jump up and land on the top rope. It's precision movement.
I can run up a wall and do a back flip - that's the most impressive thing that I can do.
I did a lot of trapeze stuff when I did 'Pippin' and continued to do it afterward. Flying is so fun, and I was used to the harness idea, but these harnesses are like intense, full bodysuit things.
Some of the routines come back very easily. We do it off the top of our heads.
I can put my legs behind my head, but that's pretty much it. An early agent said to me, 'If you can put your legs behind your head, let's say you're a contortionist!' So I got sent out for everything twisty and bendy. It's a good conversation starter.
I had been on the junior Olympic team in high school for trampoline; I could do twenty-six back flips in a row.
That's something I do, like, all the time. I just do backflips off things.
I am kind of a freak of nature who has loose joints, and I was able to put my legs behind my head, and it looked weird to people when I was a kid, so I kept doing it. It's a great party gag.
I practice going backward all the time.
