Is Maksim Chmerkovskiy Leaving Dancing With The Stars?

Dancing With The Stars pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy might just be leaving the show after season twelve is over! Ugh, I just can’t.

If Maks is gone, then how can I possibly ever gawk at his luscious abs ever again? This would be so unfair! I feel betrayed by his hot body and smooth moves. Maks, why do you hate us? You know I just can’t find the time to tune into anything on Monday or Tuesday nights without the promise of seeing you shirtless at least once or twice…

Still, the decision is still up in the air for the dancing pro. When asked if he had plans on returning to the dancing competition, he said, “I don’t know. It takes a lot out of you. When you invest that much of you into something that’s supposed to be just work you get misinterpreted. I don’t know. We’ll see. Right now, I’m drained.”

His current celebrity partner, Kirstie Alley, thinks that he’s got a bright future in front of him — as an actor. (A shirtless actor? Because I’d be totally on board with that one.)

She said, “He’s got good qualities. He’s handsome, he’s got a good voice and he’s funny. He’s got other qualities….he’s broody, he’s deep. All the bad boy actors are like that. He could be a really great actor if he wanted to act.”

In the end, it’s up to Maks, and he’s still thinking it all over. He added, “I have a great team of people behind me. They know how to make me do the right thing. It’s going to be up to them.”

Should Maks take a break? What do you think? I think he should do a Playgirl spread already, don’t you?
