Jennifer Grey weigerde rol in remake 'Dirty Dancing'

Ze had de tijd van haar leven, maar ze zal het niet snel overdoen.

Jennifer Grey (Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Dirty Dancing) had de tijd van haar leven tijdens de opnames van Dirty Dancing, maar ze zal het niet snel overdoen. De 56-jarige actrice, die de rol van Baby speelde in de klassieker, heeft laten weten dat ze een rol in de remake heeft geweigerd.

"I was flattered, because I always want to be asked, because it's nice to want to be included. But for me, it would be sacrosanct for me to do it, because it didn't feel appropriate to me," aldus Jennifer. "It feels like if you're going to do your own thing, do your own thing."

De actrice wil niet verklappen voor welke rol ze is gevraagd. "But I will tell you, it wasn't Baby!"

"I am always interested in any iteration of something where they feel there's more to be gotten, and I would love to see what it is that they come up with," vertelde Jennifer Grey. "I think they've got wonderful actors in it. I'm going to be watching it and I'm excited...I'm only flattered and excited for people who are excited enough to put their stamp on it and see what they make of it and how they make it their own."

Tijdens de Television Critics Association's Summer Press Tour sprak de actrice ook over de in 2009 overleden Patrick Swayze, die in de klassieker uit 1987 de rol van Johnny speelde. "He smelled really good, his skin was really nice. He was really strong and he was very protective and his heart was very much in it."
