before she died Olivia Newton John

revealed the truth about Greece What

really happened behind the scenes of

Greece For years fans have wondered was

there real romance drama secret stories

Just before her passing Olivia Newton

John finally opened up And what she said

might surprise

you Olivia Newton John the star who

played Sandy in Greece had held on to

some big secrets about filming the

famous movie Now after decades she

shared what really happened during that

time The good the tough and the

unforgettable At first Olivia didn’t

even want the role She had done a movie

before that didn’t go well and was

afraid another failure might hurt her

music career Also she thought she was

too old to play a high school student

but then she did a screen test with John

Travolta Their connection was so strong

that it changed everything They laughed

smiled and lit up the screen After that

Olivia said yes But did Olivia and Jon

really have a romance in real life She

said no Even though the chemistry was

real they both had other relationships

at the time They made a promise to keep

things professional and it worked They

became close friends instead of dating

One of the hardest parts for Olivia was

wearing the tight black leather pants in

the final scene The pants were so tight

they had to be sewn on to her She could

barely move in them which is why the

dance moves in that scene were

simple Still she said that scene made

her feel powerful like Sandy had finally

found her

strength Olivia also said filming Greece

was like being back in high school The

cast had fun joked around and supported

each other She remembered the energy and

laughter calling it one of the best

times of her life And no there was no

big drama behind the scenes just long

days fun nights and the feeling that

they were creating something special

Even many years later Olivia and John

Travolta stayed close They did

interviews and fan events together Their

friendship lasted a lifetime So now we

know the set of Greece wasn’t full of

secrets or scandal
