Cristian de la Fuente’s Torn Tendon Surgery a Success

June 6, 2008

Good news for Dancing with the Stars third-place finisher Cristian de la Fuente after having surgery two weeks ago: the bicep tendon he tore while performing on the show is now on the mend.

“The doctor said it was a perfect repair,” publicist Cynthia Snyder told the Associated Press. “He had his stitches out on Tuesday. Everything is going well.”

And what did the actor, 33, do on Wednesday? Go to Disneyland–with his Dancing partner, Cheryl Burke.

De la Fuente is also making the rounds promoting his new USA Network show, In Plain Sight, on which he appears as the boyfriend of Mary McCormack. – Stephen M. Silverman

I think he’s faking. It was all an act.

I didn’t know him before DWTS but I LOVE him now. Whatever he does, I’ll watch.

Why would he be faking? It happened during a live show! Why would someone want to potentially blow their chance at winning? He knew full well he could’ve gone home after that. Especially with the low marks from the judges…
