Among other revelations from the America's Next Top Model cycle 22 winner, are that he downs a surprising beverage before working out (so that's the secret to his incredible physique!) and that he can't get enough of a certain John Travolta film.
The Deaf model is certainly the one that judges and viewers alike want on the ABC competition series. He landed at the top of the DWTS leaderboard last week with a 37 out of 40 for his waltz with new partner Sharna Burgess, including the first perfect 10 of the season.

Take the hair dryer and dry hair back. Chewing the hair of the top with your fingers, like this. Nyle has wavy hair and we have to give our the same effect by moving your hands in this way.
Second Step:
Use the gel. sprinkle in the hands with wide circular movements then step on the side hair as much as possible, crawl your palms backwards.
Third Step:
Impregnate the hair of the upper part of the head with the gel, chewing it with your fingers.
Finally, open hands as a kind of scratch bringing all the hair backward dropping slightly a small tuft on the front side.
This is Nyle di Marco's hairstyle! Thank you for watching! A big hug from Italy! Love you!
DiMarco was paired with his dance partner, Peta Murgatroyd. With DiMarco not being able to hear the music she said, “I feel I have to change my way of teaching. I have to tap on his shoulder sometimes. Other times I’m pushing him a little bit to tell him when to go.” She even learned a bit of sign language in order to better communicate with her celebrity dancer.

DiMarco worried that he’d be dancing out of time and hoped show to that Deaf people can dance. The two performed their routine to the amazement of the audience and judges. They gave one of the top performances of the night. Tom Bergeron asked if he could hear the music at all or feel the vibrations of the song. DiMarco answered, “I couldn’t. It’s actually Peta, she’s listening to the music and I just followed her with my eyes.”
Video shows Nyle and his partner Peta Murgatroyd beginning to dance when she whirled around and accidentally plopped him in the face with her elbow.
The Deaf model takes the hit in stride, smiling while touching his eye.
Things had been going so much better for Peta, who marveled at the Deaf model when he took off his shirt to rehearse with her.
"Yes!" the dance pro said about him disrobing. "I'm totally fine with this."
Moments later, things were a bit bloodier.
"Oh, my God," Maksim Chmerkovskiy's fiance said as her dance partner ran to look at the wound in the mirror. "Are you okay? I'm so sorry. I have never hit anyone that badly in my whole life."
Nyle said, "I think I might need stitches."
Later, cameras showed Nyle outside of the hospital, with his eyebrow stitched together.
Via American Sign Language and through an interpreter, Nyle said, "So I just left the hospital. I had to get four stitches on my left eyebrow. I definitely realized today that dancing is definitely a full-contact sport and I like it!"
Hopefully the dance duo will have better luck on the dance floor. Peta knows a thing or two about dominating the dance floor, as she took home the Mirrorball Trophy with Donald Driver in season 14.
"It truly did take a toll on me mentally," he told Us Weekly after winning. "I even cringe when I watch myself on ANTM being all alone and sometimes brainwashed from 'only talking to myself.'"
He did find a silver lining in being Deaf during his ANTM stint.
"The only positive thing out of it is that I wasn't able to hear all the drama!" he said. "I'm relieved. Also, with the lack of communication, It has helped me to stay focused and think about how I can improve myself as a model."
"I've never trained with a Deaf person before, so it's a whole new ball game for me," she said. "Being a teacher, I have to really find out different teaching methods to be able to overcome this, and so far we're going really well."
One person who doesn't seem nervous at all is the America's Next Top Model winner. In fact, DiMarco is excited about how quickly he's learning to dance.
"Actually, my dancing feet are pretty good," he told ET via his interpreter on the orange carpet. "I'm pretty surprised and pretty impressed, because I've never danced before. I also have a great teacher!"
"It's not exactly what I expected," the 26-year-old model added. "I thought that I would struggle a lot and it would be frustrating, but actually, it's going really well."
The dancing duo revealed that they will have to cha cha "straight out of the gate," and the ballroom pro says their take on it is "fast, sexy, fun, high energy!"
ET also caught up with the pair on Wednesday at Planet Hollywood in New York City, where DiMarco revealed Murgatroyd has already helped him boost his confidence on the dance floor.
"The first day that we met, right before she came in, of course I've never danced ever. So that's what I was nervous about," he shared. "I didn't want to look bad on the first day of rehearsals. Now I'm not nervous at all. All thanks to her."
Murgatroyd echoed his statements, praising DiMarco for his hard work and dedication in rehearsals.
"He's doing amazingly well. Part [of that] is just his amazing work ethic," she gushed. "He literally doesn't sit down. Usually people will sit down every five minutes, but he works constantly throughout the four hours that we have."
"He's just so visually aware," she added. "Probably doubly as visually aware as anyone else because he doesn't have hearing. He picks up the steps very quickly, and its very surprising. At first I was really nervous, too. I didn't know how it was going to go. I wanted to be clear, I wanted to make sure that I could be the best teacher possible."
If the pair does win season 22, it will be the second time Murgatroyd has won DWTS. She and NFL star Donald Driver took home the mirror ball trophy during season 14.
Miller is paired with pro Witney Carson, who ET also caught up with at the KCAs. The newylwed dished on how the NFL pro was shaping up in the ballroom.
"He's picking up things so quick. He's great on choreography. He's an amazing student," she gushed. "I love that because I get to boss a big football player around... Read more on ET.

"I haven't danced at all growing up. So, we'll see what happens," DiMarco signed.
"Honestly, it's more visual. It's more of a challenge for me this season, but it's a great one," Peta Murgatroyd answered. Good thing DiMarco is no stranger to challenges.
"Becoming the spokesperson for the Deaf community, and they need me. And it's a burden sometimes, but I'm willing to take that burden and change the world's perspective on Deaf people," DiMarco said.

'Dancing With the Stars' | Season 22 Celebrity Cast Revealed from ABC News.
Football great Doug Flutie, TV personality Marla Maples and journalist Geraldo Rivera are among the celebrity dancers in the new cast. DWTS season 22 debuts Monday, March 21 at 8 p.m. on ABC.
Sources confirm that the most recent champion of Tyra Banks' modeling competition is heading to the DWTS ballroom, where he'll be joining rumored fellow cast member Jodie Sweetin on the series which our insiders have also confirmed, and will be the second-ever Deaf contestant on the show.
Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin competed on the series in 2008, coming in seventh place with partner Fabian Sanchez during the ABC reality hit's sixth season. Figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi eventually took home the Mirrorball Trophy that year.
The new cast will dance in the footsteps of 17-year-old Bindi Irwin, who took home the trophy with six-time champion Derek Hough, beating out Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, soldier Alek Skarlatos and Grease Live star Carlos PenaVega.
ABC declined to comment on the casting report, but the official cast announcement will be made on Good Morning America on March 8, ahead of season 22's March 21 premiere.
One certainty for next season: We won't be seeing Julianne Hough anymore. The pro-turned-judge is stepping away from the series after two years at the judges' table, she confirmed on Feb. 17, but there's good news too: Len Goodman, who left for a season to spend time with his newborn grandson (and continue judging on the original British series, Strictly Come Dancing), is coming back.
WATCH [ASL/CC] - America's Next Top Model's first ever Deaf contestant on why he refuses to let his disability hold him back.
LOS ANGELES -- A model who is set to become the first ever Deaf person to compete in hit reality series America's Next Top Model has revealed why he refuses to let his disability stop him from reaching the top of the fashion industry.
Nyle DiMarco, 25, is set to feature on the upcoming 22nd season of the hit CW series, which was created by supermodel Tyra Banks. But while some might believe he is at a disadvantage when compared with his co-stars, the Washington-based model insists that his disability actually makes him all the more unique.
'I strongly believe that being Deaf gives me a huge advantage because of my native language, American Sign Language' Nyle revealed to Washington Life.
To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.
'ASL requires the use of facial expressions and body language expressions. With the rules of ASL immersed into my soul, it helps to bring out stories when I'm modeling for a photo, and makes for an interesting character when I'm acting.'
And, perhaps unsurprisingly, the fact that Nyle is Deaf certainly isn't the first thing that people notice about the budding model, who was contacted by the producers of America's Next Top Model after they saw him guest-starring in hit sitcom ‘Switched at Birth’.
'The show found me through my accounts on social media and models.com, which is where I showcase my work,' Nyle explained.
'Honestly, America's Next Top Model wasn’t something that I had ever really thought about doing before but when I spoke with casting, I thought, “why not!” The rest is history.'
While Nyle is unable to reveal how the show, which he has been busy filming for a number of weeks now, has been going, he hopes that his appearance in the series, no matter how far he ends up going, will help to inspire other Deaf people to pursue their dreams... Read The Full Story.
