The main actors were older than the characters they played
In the movie, Baby is an 18-year-old girl who had just come fresh out of high school and is navigating life, while Johnny is a 24-year-old adult who works as a dance instructor. They seem pretty young and relatable, so they could resonate with the average audience.
The shocking fact is that the actor and actress are almost a decade older than their fictional character. While acting in the film, Patrick Swayze was 34, and Jennifer Grey was 26.
