Jennifer Grey recently revealed on 'The Hollywood Reporter's Awards Chatter' podcast that her love scene with Patrick Swayze in the 1984 film 'Red Dawn' was cut due to both actors being under the influence of substances.
Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze 's sex scene in ' Red Dawn ' never made the 1984 film due to overdoing it on some substances. On December 20, Grey was a guest on 'The Hollywood Reporter's Awards Chatter' podcast and recalled smoking 'a lot of weed' prior to filming the scene with a drunk Swayze. 'We were in this, you know, sleeping bag, and he was nervous or whatever, and he came into the sleeping bag drunk,' Grey told host Scott Feinberg.
In 'Red Dawn,' Grey, Swayze, Charlie Sheen, Lea Thompson and C. Thomas Howell star as teenagers who head to the mountains to plan a counter-attack against a Russian-led invasion. 'As an actor, you're looking at all your stuff in the script, and you're like, okay. I'm running. I'm shooting. I'm running. I'm throwing hand grenades. I'm killing myself with a hand grenade. But this is the only acting scene I get to do where I'm not doing action,' Grey said of the sex scene.

And so, I was super paranoid, and I was scared.' Grey noted that Swayze 'didn't know his lines. And then it got cut. And they said, ‘We'll come back and reshoot it.’ But, of course, they didn't.' The actress said that her costars 'put firecrackers in my door … to prank me.' Grey wanted listeners to 'keep in mind, I'm super young actor … really taking everything seriously, and maybe a little annoying … because I wanna do good
