While speaking to ReMind Magazine for a June 16 interview, Avalon said he wasn't interested in starring in the movie, which originated as a stage musical. According to Avalon, he was familiar with the Broadway musical when his manager approached him to appear in the film.
Avalon said his manager eventually let him know that Paramount didn't want him to pass on the role.
Avalon said that he let Carr, Kleiser, and Birch know he wasn't interested in doing an impression of Elvis Presley like Teen Angel was presented in the original stage musical.
Avalon also said his fear of heights caused some issues while filming the scene for "Beauty School Dropout."
The former teen idol also shared his thoughts about his Grease castmates.
Conn discussed her experience filming Grease on a 2019 episode of This Morning. According to Conn, she and her castmates "would stay in character all day long, which is great." She also said that her co-stars were afraid of Stockard Channing, who played the abrasive Rizzo, for this very reason.
"We were scared of her," quipped Conn during the interview.
