Our second Great Great Man award winner has been in many classic movies. He’s a classic thespian with great hair. If you had to put your finger on when steroids might’ve come into Hollywood, you might point to the movie The Outsiders where our great man posed shirtless for a few seconds and women all over the world felt all tingly and snuggly. Our great great man is also supposedly a fan of big, wobbly knockers, but I haven’t been able to confirm that just yet.
Our great great man has compared a love lost to wind. He’s a dancer. He’s danced with people like Jennifer Gray and even the ever photogenic Whoopi Goldberg. His last name is used in pop culture lingo. You want to be referred to as ghost, or gone? You’re referred to by this man’s last name. He’s outdone Rupaul, Wong Foo, and Julie Newmar, all without even breaking a sweat. And most importantly, he didn’t allow Baby to be put in a corner.
Nobody Puts Baby In A Corner
He’s been a sex symbol since early in life and he’s stayed with the same woman for the last 32 years. Now that’s a great great man. He’s not only had number one movies, but also a top five pop hit on the Billboard charts. This great man starred in what some claim is, “the best bad movie ever”.
Who is our great great man? Well, it’s none other than Patrick Swayze.
Just A Fool To Believe
Whether he was Darry in The Outsiders, Johnny Castle in Dirty Dancing, or Sam in Ghost, he was always number one in your hearts.
I’m ghost like Swayze.
When She’s Like The Wind was out, they had this parody record called She Passes Wind that was awesome. I like it even more than I like the original.
While The Outsiders is one of my favorite movies of all time (probably because it’s one of my two or three favorite books ever), the only movie I’ve ever really liked Swayze in was Donnie Darko.
