Mr. T is first to admit he may not win Dancing with the Stars, but he’s certainly winning Twitter after it was announced he’d be competing on the show’s 24th season.
The former A-Team star took to the social media platform on Wednesday to share a series of tweets about his heartwarming plan heading into the upcoming competition.
“Between me and you, I really can’t dance!” he confessed before promising to do his “very best” in honor of the children at two prominent hospitals: Shriners Hospitals for Children, which specializes in pediatric orthopedics, burns, spinal cord injuries and cleft lip/palate, and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a pediatric treatment and research facility for kids with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.
Hey Fool! I will be on Dancing With The Stars (DWTS)! I am honored to have two-time champion Kym Johnson as my partner…

“Make no mistake about it Fool! I will train and will practice real hard,” vowed Mr. T, 64. “Even when I am tired and sore, I’ll keep rehearsing! Grrr!”
“Now, if I just happen to win, I will cutoff my Mohawk to stand in solidarity with the children who are fighting cancer!” he promised. “GOD bless them!”

And if he doesn’t win, it certainly won’t be for lack of effort.
“If we don’t win, what a Pity! It won’t be because I didn’t try hard!” he continued. “Oh no… ’cause I’m gonna bring it everyday Fool!”
But if we don't win, what a Pity! It won't be because I didn't try hard! Oh no…, 'cause I'm gonna bring it everyday Fool!

The star also thanked his partner, two-time winner Kym Johnson, for her support in advance.
Kym (@kym_johnson) and I want to thank you in advance for your support! Thanks again!
