Here's Who Jennifer Grey Would Cast In A 'Dirty Dancing' Remake

Jennifer Grey has put her two cents in! The actress, who played Baby in the 1987 classic ‘Dirty Dancing,’ revealed who she would like to see take on the roles of Baby and Johnny in a movie remake. And we think her choices are pretty good!

“I think Natalie Portman and Ryan Gosling,” Jennifer, 56, revealed during an interview with JustJenny radio host Jenny Hutt. “Wouldn’t you like to see them? Or Channing Tatum?”

Jennifer must have seen Natalie’s Oscar-winning movie Black Swan, because the Dancing With The Stars winner complimented Natalie’s dancing skills during the interview. “I don’t know if she’s young enough to play that virgin thing, but she’s so gorgeous,” Jennifer said. “She’s just the best, most beautiful, amazing — and a great dancer.”

The actress swooned over Ryan, who she thinks would be the perfect guy to play the character the late Patrick Swayze made famous. “The Gos has just got something, you know what I mean?” she said. “He’s just got something and he’s that very mysterious.”

But if Ryan, 35, didn’t tackle the role, Jennifer would totally be down for Channing, 36. “He dances and he’s a smokeshow,” Jennifer gushed. “He’s a goofball and he’s a genius because he’s so smart. He’s smart enough to not take himself seriously. He’s crazy smart.”

Of course, there is a new "Dirty Dancing" in the works — for TV. Last year ABC announced it would feature a three-hour reboot of the movie with Abigail Breslin as Baby and Colt Prattes as Johnny. Other cast members include Katey Sagal, Debra Messing and Billy Dee Williams - Grey passed on the remake herself.
