Strictly star Bobby Brazier shows off newly acquired dance skills at Hare Krishna gathering in Central London
STRICTLY star Bobby Brazier joins in the cha-cha-chanting at a Hare Krishna gathering.
The EastEnder, 21, sang, danced and handed out leaflets on London’s Oxford Street this week.
He got involved in the Hindu offshoot a few years ago.
Its devotees are often seen in the streets dancing, drumming and chanting.
Pals said his beliefs kept him grounded when his fame took off as he came third on Strictly last year with pro partner Dianne Buswell.
A TV insider said: “Bobby’s belief in Hare Krishna has been the secret to his success while on the show, as it helps him remain calm, grounded and focused.
“Although his image as the snake-hipped pin-up of this year’s series is in contrast to the look that we usually associate with devotees.
“But Bobby is just one of a long line of artists who have turned to Hare Krishna for their inspiration.”
Other stars including late Beatle George Harrison and Boy George have been Hare Krishna fans.
Last year Bobby added of the Hare Krishna movement: “I’ve had the blessing of meeting some incredible devotees who have really taken me under the wing and been really merciful upon me.
“And they are just the most beautiful, happy, content, smart, intelligent people.”
