“I know she’s looking down from Heaven saying, ‘Job well done.'”
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How did you end up on the show?
Did someone nominate you?
Gary boogies his way into Joan’s heart on ‘The Golden Bachelorette’.ABC
GARY LEVINGSTON:That was an interesting thing.
I was at church, and someone handed me the app.
I said, “No, I can’t do that.
Gary Levingston with Joan Vassos on ‘The Golden Bachelorette’.ABC
I’m too private.”
We befriended each other over the next couple of months.
It’s not a big deal."
And then from there, the rest is history.
How would you sum up your time on the show?
It was absolutely sensational.
It was pretty special.
How were you feeling at the last rose ceremony?
Did you think Joan would give you a rose?
I didn’t know.
Every rose ceremony, not just the last one, is so intense.
Your energy is at an all-time high.
Then she calls everyone else’s name.
At the last rose ceremony, there were only four roses up there.
And I’m thinking, “This has got to be my day.
This is not my day.”
It was a pretty sad moment, because I did want the journey to continue.
You and Joan had some really lovely moments together.
Were there any that we didn’t get to see?
I think the production, who did a fabulous job showing all those moments, was just incredible.
She and I were sitting there on the field watching that.
It was pretty incredible.
Of course, I have to ask you about that Chippendale’s date.
Was it your idea to rip open your shirt?
How do you think being on the show will affect your approach to dating in the real world?
I’m a very humble guy.
So keep going."
Have any ladies reached out to you hoping to set up a date?
So you’re not looking to meet up with somebody who slides into your DMs?
Well, yeah, not yet.
I think she would’ve laughed.
But I think she would’ve laughed initially like, “You’ve got to be kidding.
Are you really going to do that?”
I know she’s looking down from Heaven saying, “Job well done.
Job well done.”
From what I’ve seen, Chock probably has the best emotional connection with Joan.
Yeah, I would pick Chock.
There may be a dark horse in Dr. And hopefully we’ll pull Joan in as well because, she was the nucleus of it all.
Then it was about coming to grips with what is, and the what is it’s all good.
Just because you didn’t make it to the end doesn’t mean that it’s over.
The Golden Bacheloretteairs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
