'I carried a ZUCCHINI!' Dirty Dancing star Jennifer Grey, 58, poses with a giant veggie in witty Instagram post that is VERY reminiscent of the movie's iconic watermelon scene
- Jennifer posed with an enormous zucchini and asked for recipe ideas
- She referenced the famous Dirty Dancing scene in which her character, Baby, carried a watermelon to a party
- In 2010, Jennifer, who is based in Venice, California, recreated the watermelon moment on Dancing with the Stars
Things might have gone a bit differently in Dirty Dancing if Baby had carried a giant zucchini up to the staff's dance party.
On Thursday, Jennifer Grey took to Instagram to share something special for Dirty Dancing fans, posting a photo of herself cradling a giant zucchini.
And the similarities to that iconic movie scene weren't lost on her, either, as she referenced the moment in the caption.
What's she doing here? Jennifer Grey posed with a giant zucchini on Instagram
Familiar? The 58-year-old was looking for recipes for it, but joked, 'I carried a zucchini'
Famous: In an iconic scene from the 1987 film Dirty Dancing, her character Baby carried a watermelon into a party
'I carried a zucchini,' the 58-year-old, who lives in Venice, California, wrote, captioning a snap of herself in baggy pants and a white tee with an enormous zucchini in her arms.
'I need some not obscene ideas of whether this is worth cooking,' she added. 'Recipes. C’mon, you can do it, take the G-rated challenge!'
It appears that Grey grew the giant veggie in her garden, and added the hastags #frankensquash, #organicgarden, #foodporn, #gardenporn, #growyourown, and #farmscape.
Over thirty years after Dirty Dancing debuted in theaters, the image certainly felt familiar to fans who've watched it over and over.
In an early scene in the movie, Jennifer's character Baby helps Billy by taking one of three watermelons off his hands, carrying it up to a party where the staff at Kellerman's are dancing.
Romance... She helps Billy with the fruit and then embarrasses herself when explaining to Johnny why she's there
Flashback: In 2010, she recreated the scene for her final dance on Dancing with the Stars
When she encounters Johnny, who asks what she's doing there, she tells him, 'I carried a watermelon' — and is immediately mortified.
Jennifer also recreated the moment in 2010 during her time on the reality competition show Dancing with the Stars.
For the finale, she appeared on stage holding a watermelon as Do You Love Me by The Contours began to play.
She then tossed the watermelon aside to dance with Derek Hough.
As for Jennifer's query about recipes, fans very helpfully offered suggestions, including zucchini bread, lasagna, and fried zucchini.
