Actor Maxwell Caulfield Credits Wife Juliet Mills for Keeping Him Young Amid Grease 2 Revival
Maxwell Caulfield, known for his role in Grease 2, credits his wife Juliet Mills for keeping him young despite the significant age gap between the couple.
The 64-year-old actor, who has been married to Avanti! actress Juliet, 82, since 1980, expressed that his wife’s influence is like a mysterious ‘reverse process,’ attributing her to slowing down his aging process, not just in the context of years.
As preparations are underway for the Cool Rider concert, Caulfield reminisces about the underappreciated success of Grease 2 compared to its iconic predecessor starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.
Surprisingly, over time, Caulfield believes that Grease 2 has gained equal popularity, with the upcoming London Palladium event projected to rival the fan-following of the renowned Rocky Horror Show.
Reflecting on his journey, Caulfield shared anecdotes about his encounters with John Travolta at Paramount Studios during his screen test, reminiscing about wearing Travolta’s jacket from the original Grease film during his audition.
Caulfield’s career journey also led him to star alongside Michelle Pfeiffer in the 1982 film Grease 2, a cult classic that has stood the test of time, despite its initial reception.
From his early days as a cinema usher during the Saturday Night Fever premiere at the Leicester Square Odeon, where Travolta caused a frenzy among fans, to his roles in Dynasty and its spin-off The Colbys, Caulfield’s career has been intertwined with Hollywood legends and iconic productions.
