Maxwell Caulfield and Michelle Pfeiffer were newcomers when they were cast in Grease 2 and, when the film bombed in 1982, only one of their careers flourished.

‘It was, psychologically, quite a kick in the pants,’ the 61-year-old Englishman admitted to Page Six on Monday.

‘And of course, Michelle rose like a Phoenix, right? Did Scarface and so that made it even, frankly, a little harder to swallow.’

‘But you know, listen, every actor has his and her own path. She has gone on to [three] Oscar nominations and the rest of it,’ Caulfield (born Newby) continued.

‘She delivers and she defines Hollywood beauty…You can’t begrudge them their success. But as I said, simultaneously, it makes it that much tougher to see, that you’ve been benched. And it took a long wait time to come back.’
