New Delhi, Sep 25 (ANI): Late American actor Patrick Swayze had reporetedly found the movie “Dirty Dancing” to be a little clean when he first read the script.
Swayze, who died on September 14 from cancer, had written in his memoir ‘The Time of My Life’, which comes out next week, about the impression he got from the film, reports the China Daily.
“It seemed fluffy - nothing more than a summer-camp movie,” he wrote about it.
But his reaction was completely different when it came to the movie ‘Ghost’.
He immediately wanted to be in it and persuaded Jerry Zucker to cast him despite the director’s scepticism that Swayze could play a sensitive leading man. (ANI)
