Even though Morris is an exceptional dancer, he is a little concerned about his age and whether it’ll be a parameter for the selection. The 38-year-old Morris further added, “I am one of the Older guys so they do count us out once you get a little bit older, but if you were making a secure bet, you would probably want to bet on me because I am either gonna win or get to the top spot.”
