Jennifer Grey has claimed that Patrick Swayze apologised to her in tears to get her to work with him on Dirty Dancing.
However, Grey agreed to do a screen test with Swayze, who apologised to her during their chemistry read.
The experience had made her hesitant to star opposite Swayze in the romantic drama, with Grey describing saying: “No, no, no” when his name was suggested for Dirty Dancing.
Appearing on The View on Wednesday (4 May), Grey explained that she hadn’t enjoyed working with Swayze on the 1984 film Red Dawn, which came out three years before they would work together on Dirty Dancing.
