DWTS
Brian Austin Green and Sharna Burgess' Dancing with the Stars performance was inspired by the couple's recent date night.
Green, 48, and Burgess, 36, visited the Original Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit in Los Angeles, as seen in a stunning set of exclusive photos. Designed and conceived by Massimiliano Siccardi with a soundtrack by Luca Longobardi, the exhibition brings Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh's iconic artwork to life, including The Starry Night and Sunflowers.
The exhibit was incorporated into the couple's package on Monday's episode of the ABC dance competition series. Green and Burgess danced to "Say You Won't Let Go" by James Arthur, and will bring themes and elements of the art show into the ballroom for their performance.
"It's a really amazing song, it just brings up that feeling of true connection and love with somebody," Green said of their song "Say You Won't Let Go" during the show.
"So Sharna and I have been together for almost a year. It's been kind of a storybook relationship," he added. "Just being there with her, feeling the emotions that came up it was great inspiration for what we're going to perform."
Burgess shared, "It's been an incredible 11 months of showing a person truly who I am. Complete vulnerability with each other and that's new for me."
