Olivia Newton-John, John Travolta Dress Up As Danny and Sandy Re-Creating the ‘Grease’ Moment (View Pic)

Actress Olivia Newton-John has shared a photograph of her and John Travolta dressed as their Grease characters -- saying it's the first time they have done so since the film was released 41 years ago. The actors, who played Sandy and Danny in the hit 1978 teen flick, looked just as good as they did way back when the film was released, as they suited up in their old costumes. Newton-John wore the "good Sandy" outfit consisting of a yellow midi-skirt and cardigan over a white shirt and flat shoes, while Travolta went for Danny Zuko's iconic quiff hairstyle and leather jacket look, reports metro.co.uk. Rydell High: John Travolta’s 1978 Musical ‘Grease’ to Get a Spin-Off Series at HBO Max.

Her leather jacket sold for £185,000 ($2,46,512.32), but was later returned to her by the anonymous buyer, for her to display at the centre instead of being in "some billionaire's closet for bragging rights". While she may have been "good Sandy" for the photographs, Newton-John later swapped into a similar outfit to the black leather ensemble "bad Sandy" wore at the end of the film, and the pair posed in the convertible car from the end of the film.
