Ricky 'Swayze' Whittle
Monday, 26 October 2009
Ricky Whittle wants to become the new Patrick Swayze.
The 27-year-old actor hopes to swap 'Hollyoaks' for Hollywood because his stint on 'Strictly Come Dancing' has improved his moves so much.
Ricky, who plays hunk Calvin Valentine in 'Hollyoaks', said: "Antonio Banderas is getting on and sadly Patrick Swayze has gone, so I could be the lead in 'Dirty Dancing 4'.
"I'd love to do Patrick. I know Patrick wasn't a black baldy but I would be willing to wear a dodgy wig.
"I would love to go to America and go down a film route and having this new dancing skill is a nice string to my bow."
He also revealed that 'Dirty Dancing' is one of his favourite films.
Ricky and his Australian partner Natalie Lowe wowed the 'Strictly Come Dancing' judges on Saturday (24.10.09) scoring 32 points, but Jo Wood, estranged wife of 'Rolling Stone' Ronnie Wood, was booted off the show.
Jo, 54, got only 14 points for her Samba, which has since been branded a wooden performance by former 'Strictly Come Dancing' judge Arlene Phillips.
She told The Sun newspaper: "Brendon looked like he was moving a plank of wood, not a body."
