Michelle Pfeiffer Says It Was 'Total Fluke' That She Got Cast In 'Grease 2'

Michelle Pfeiffer hit James Corden‘s couch on last night’s (October 1) episode of The Late Late Show, and reminisced about the audition process for the musical sequel to Grease 2.

“It was a total fluke that I got that part,” the Oscar-nominated actress admitted while sitting alongside her Maleficent: Mistress of Evil co-star Chiwetel Ejiofor.

“My agent told me just to go. I wasn’t a dancer, I wasn’t a singer, and I was in this little short purple skirt with gogo boots,” Michelle continued. “We had these dancing auditions and it was literally like A Chorus Line. This line goes, and then the next line goes, so, I kept sneaking in the back. Finally, it was only me and I did.”

“I did get the part, shockingly enough,” Michelle concluded about Grease 2.

Later in the show, Michelle Pfeiffer gets called out by James about becoming a throwback Thursday queen on Instagram – Watch more after the cut!
