Asked whether the film Grease stands up to scrutiny in the modern era, Newton-John said, 'It’s a story from the ‘50s where things were different.'

Though there are plenty of moments that haven't aged at all well in the classic movie musical Grease, its star Olivia Newton-John does not think it's sexist.

However, Danny's lurid, exaggerated recollections of their relationship clash with Sandy's more innocent take, while the movie has long been criticized for Sandy's final transformation. But asked whether the film stands up to scrutiny in the modern era, Newton-John told the Guardian: “It’s a movie. “There’s nothing deep in there about the #MeToo movement,” the Australian actress insisted. “It’s just a girl who loves a guy, and she thinks if she does that, he’ll like her. And he thinks if he does that, she’ll like him. I think that’s pretty real. People do that for each other. It was a fun love story.”
