John Leguizamo Nearly Fought Patrick Swayze
In 2010, John Leguizamo sat down for an interview on George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight, where he shared a memorable behind-the-scenes story from the 1995 cult classic To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar. The film, which features Leguizamo, Patrick Swayze, and Wesley Snipes as drag queens embarking on a cross-country road trip, was a groundbreaking comedy that pushed boundaries in Hollywood. However, filming wasn't without its challenges, particularly between Leguizamo and Swayze.
Leguizamo recounted that tensions ran high on set, especially between him and Swayze. The two actors had very different approaches to their craft—Swayze was known for his serious, disciplined method, while Leguizamo favored a more improvisational style. These differences led to friction, which came to a head during one particularly intense day of filming. According to Leguizamo, the situation escalated to the point where they almost came to blows.
Despite the near-fight, Leguizamo had nothing but admiration for Swayze, acknowledging his dedication and professionalism. He shared that, even though they had their differences, Swayze’s commitment to his role as the refined drag queen Vida Boheme helped elevate the performances of everyone on set. Leguizamo also noted that portraying such demanding roles was challenging for all three actors, which likely contributed to the tension.
Ultimately, the incident became just another story in the making of a beloved film that has since become a touchstone for LGBTQ representation in cinema. Leguizamo’s candid recounting of the near-fight with Swayze offers a glimpse into the sometimes turbulent process of filmmaking, where creative differences can lead to conflict but also to unforgettable performances.
