Patrick Swayze And Jennifer Grey

Another surprising revelation on the list is Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, having had a tumultuous relationship even before they did Dirty Dancing in 1987. They first met on the set of another Hollywood movie, Red Dawn, in 1984. Allegedly, the spat began as a result of their different personalities and acting approaches.

Jennifer was eight years younger than Patrick, so she had a much unique acting style compared to Swayze. This made the latter felt thwarted, as Jennifer would do to a single scene multiple times and trying different approaches on each of them. This would have created disappointments on Patrick back then, given his years in acting. Circumstances like these are sometimes unavoidable, especially in the movie industry. Happily, they were able to find a way to fix the gap. The degree of their chemistry was very evident when they danced together in the film, Dirty Dancing.
