Behind the Scenes of Super Cameron Mathison, Dancing with the Stars

With his family and All My Children costar Rebecca Budig (and her husband, former Bachelor Bob Guiney) rooting him on, Cameron Mathison leapt and bounded his way to a 27 out of 30 last night.

“This was a bit of a breakout week for me,” Mathison told People magazine.

Of course, outting in such a stellar physical performance has its price: While rehearsing for the paso, Mathison injured his hip flexor.

“I heard a really loud snap,” Mathison said. “But in the performance I was able to kind of land it. We got it checked out earlier today, and it’s definitely not a tear. It’s a little tight and bruised, that’s all.”
