Jennifer Grey turned down part in Dirty Dancing remake

Grey told The Hollywood Reporter back in 2016 that while she had been asked to appear in television studio ABC's remake of Dirty Dancing, she turned down the offer. "I was flattered, because I always want to be asked, because it's nice to want to be included," she said.

"But for me, it would be sacrosanct for me to do it, because it didn't feel appropriate to me. It feels like if you're going to do your own thing, do your own thing." Grey didn't mention what the part she had been offered was.

The Dirty Dancing remake saw Abigail Breslin take on the role originated by Grey, "Baby," with Colt Prattes starring opposite her as "Johnny". "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," Grey shared with The Hollywood Reporter.

"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."

Time will only tell if Grey's new movie will in fact be related to Dirty Dancing, but fans are certainly excited about the possibility of a sequel!
