Because his name rhymes with "crazy" , of course. Yet the crazy Swayze couplet was still going strong long after Patrick's movie career had foundered, as evidenced by Young Jeezy's track And Then What, in which the Atlanta coke-rapper followed the familiar boast "I'm so crazy" by declaring that, "these other rappers [are] actors like Patrick Swayze".
In the 90s, the word "Swayze" even took on a life of its own within rap, coming to mean "gone" or "outta here", as in: "We dropped the microphone, then we Swayze" Tha Alkaholiks.
Curiously, Jay-Z didn't appear to care for the term, despite the possibilities afforded by the rhyme with his own name. Now that Swayze is himself Swayze, maybe we'll witness a fresh trend for the use of the word among the hip-hop fraternity. Or perhaps his name will gradually drop out of the hip-hop lexicon altogether, to be replaced by George Clooney rhymes with "loony" , Robbie Coltrane "insane" or Barbra Streisand in Yentl you get the idea.
We can but hope. Swayze almost didn't get the role — director Jerry Zucker eliminated him from consideration very early in the production process, telling People that he didn't want to cast him after he "made the mistake of seeing some of his other movies. But Swayze was a huge star, which landed him an audition When he read the movie's final scene, where Sam says goodbye, "We all had tears in our eyes, right there in the office," Zucker said.
Despite the shaky ground that led to his casting, Swayze went to bat for another crucial cast member. Whoopi Goldberg provided comic relief as Oda Mae Brown, a phony psychic who Sam, a real ghost, uses to keep in contact with the human world.
Goldberg wasn't the filmmakers' first choice, and she said on The View in that there was "resistance," claiming she landed the role because of Swayze's steadfast insistence. The director took the package deal, and it all worked out, especially for Goldberg.
Swayze disappeared from movies for most of the late s, but it wasn't because he was a persona non grata in Hollywood. In May , Swayze was filming the indie movie Letters from a Killer in northern California, and while shooting a horseback scene, he fell off the animal and hit a tree. The actor was airlifted to a hospital where he was diagnosed with a broken leg — although Swayze's wife, Lisa Niemi, said in their joint memoir, The Time of My Life , that he broke both of his legs devastating for a lifelong dancer and suffered other "life-threatening injuries.
It took Swayze a long time to recover — so long that he was only able to act in one movie the action thriller Black Dog between the time of the accident and the turn of the century.
His career didn't truly recover until and , when he took a rare dramatic turn as a motivational speaker with a dark secret in Donnie Darko, followed by the role of a monster truck enthusiast in the comedy Waking Up in Reno.
Among the most notable moments in Swayze's life in and around his mother's dance studio: He met the one and only love of his life there. After he got off the road with Disney on Parade, the year-old came back to Houston in , returned to his mother's studio, and met a year-old dance student named Lisa Niemi. That was it for Swayze. He fell in love with Niemi, and in , they got married. The couple were wed for and incredible 34 years, up until Swayze's death in Sure, they had their ups and downs as many long-married couple do.
According to Woman Magazine , they split up for about a year in the early s, when Swayze's lifelong battle with the bottle got out of hand. One morning while Swayze was asleep, Niemi left him and moved into an apartment 20 minutes away from their California ranch.
They spoke every day and reunited on the set of 's King Solomon's Mines, ultimately securing the title of one Hollywood's longest-lasting love stories. In The Time of My Life via Entertainment Weekly , Swayze opened up about his long battle to stay sober — and the bad stuff that happened to him when he couldn't.
After his father's death in the s, Swayze admitted that he dealt with it by drinking what he called "copious amounts of alcohol" for the better part of a decade. When he landed what he thought would be a breakthrough role in the movie City of Joy, Swayze says he scaled his drinking habit back to almost nothing, but when the movie was a flop, he turned to booze again.
While filming Father Hood a year later, he was reportedly so hammered that the crew struggled to wake him up one day. It was on the set of that family comedy that Swayze says he experienced his "most embarrassing moment of all"— he passed out in the backseat of a car while filming a scene. He checked into a rehab facility in Tucson, Ariz.
That was no big deal, except when he had to make an emergency landing. As he related in his memoir via Entertainment Weekly , the plane had recently been serviced for some technical problems, but Swayze figured if he flew at a low altitude, he'd be fine.
At one point, he put the aircraft on autopilot Radar records showed that while Swayze was passed out, he'd almost hit the ground 11 times — not to mention several near-misses with the many mountains on the flight path. As it turns out, Swayze reportedly lost consciousness because there wasn't enough oxygen in the plane, a condition which could easily kill a person with lungs of steel, let alone Swayze, a three-pack-a-day smoker.
However, when the news of Swayze's near-fatal mishap initially broke, the actor's confused, deoxygenated state led to rumors he almost crashed the plane because he was drunk — especially because there were reportedly empty beer cans in the plane. Four construction workers who witnessed the emergency landing were reportedly threatened with criminal charges for helping Swayze move and hide the alcohol that was on board.
Back before the widespread use of both digital video and the internet made accidental celebrity nudity — colloquially known as " wardrobe malfunctions " — instantly eternal, the occasional inadvertent movie star body part exposure was still just as salacious and controversial In the Aug. Others suggested a far more likely story—that the rounded object was a looped drawstring creating the optical illusion of male genitalia.
Nevertheless, even the promise of a huge movie star flashing wang made the issue quickly sell out.
