Swayze considering 'Dirty Dancing' sequel?

Patrick Swayze has reportedly been approached to star in a sequel to his hit 1987 movie 'Dirty Dancing'.

The film, which also starred Jennifer Grey, spawned a spin-off movie 'Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights' in 2004 with a young, relatively unknown cast.

However, now Swayze - who is currently battling pancreatic cancer - is said to be considering a return to the role which shot him to international fame.

A source tells British newspaper Metro: "It's great news that Patrick is so well and there are lots of offers for him. Everyone wants him to star in a 'Dirty Dancing' sequel. It's just a matter of him making his mind up."

The 55-year-old is back at work following his cancer diagnosis, starring in new TV series The Beast.
