Grease star looks unrecognisable 45 years on from hit movie that shot them to fame
A GREASE star looked drastically different 45 years on from the release of the iconic movie.
The film became the highest-grossing movie musical to date, and it remained that way until 2017.
Grease star, “Doody” played by actor Barry Pearl now looks unrecognisable as he attended the 2023 Los Angeles Jewish Film Festival in May.
Barry, 73 has ditched his distinctive thick brown curls in favour of a full head of grey hair.
In addition to donning glasses, he looks much more built than he did in the classic movie.
He looks worlds away from his character, who was one of the three supporting members of “T-Birds” in the 1978 film version of Grease.
Over the years, the actor continued to make numerous TV appearances, including those on Beverly Hills 90210, Baywatch, Criminal Minds, and other shows.
Now, Barry teaches acting to children with special needs.
In August 2022 it was the passing of the Grease icon, Olivia Newton John.
She’d been diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992, which she’d fought into remission, but which sadly came back.
In 1971 composers Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey wrote Grease about youth culture, girls and greasers and set it in a high school.
John Travolta was the easy first choice for handsome, rugged Danny Zuko.
