It’s been 36 years since Ice-t’s film debut in the film “Breakin'” — but he briefly relived those poppin’ and lockin’ moments Sunday night on the premiere episode of Fox’s “The Masked Dancer.”

The “Law & Order” Svu” star and O.G. rapper was the first celebrity to be unmasked on the new “Masked Singer” spin-off (scroll down to watch), but he told Variety he was hesitant at first about doing the show.

“I told [my manager], ‘Yo, my dancing days are over,'” Ice-t said. “I used to breakdance but now I can [just] breakdance in my mind. My bones aren’t moving with the same speed… I used to do martial arts, so I could kick you in your head. Right now I throw that same kick and aim it at your head, it’s probably going to hit you somewhere in your pant pocket. The elevation just ain’t there no more.
