Still a champion in his own mind! Gary Busey pumps his fist at final DWTS rehearsal... after being eliminated weeks before

He was eliminated from Dancing With The Stars in October.

But that didn't stop Gary Busey from making a victory lap at the final DWTS rehearsal at the Grove in Los Angeles on Sunday.

The 71-year-old sported a captain's hat as he rode the trolley at the outdoor mall and mingled with dancers backstage.

Also in attendance was this year's sensation Bindi Irwin, who was a bit more low key than the legendary Hollywood star. 

Back in October Busey was quite the handful as he made his exit as awkward as possible for both viewers and the judges.

The Point Break star refused to end his rambling goodbye speech and snapped at guest host Alfonso Ribeiro for trying to stop him.

'I'm not finished' Gary stated before imploring Alfonso to stop.

The star also bizarrely insisted that he wasn't really leaving the show.

'The fact that I've been eliminated is false,' he proclaimed to wild cheers as he stood with pro partner Anna Trebunskaya.

'Because my spirit with Anna will remain in this room throughout the show. So you won't see us dancing, but we'll be there,' Gary promised.

Also at the final rehearsal was Paula Deen, who wore a long shirt and dark sunglasses.

While Chaka Khan sported a jersey and black tights as she reclined on the makeshift stage. 

Season 21 of DWTS will come to a close on Tuesday.
