Tobin Mitnick provided ample evidence of Taylor Swift’s thespian talents, sharing a Thursday Instagram thread with throwback photos. The actor and comedian revisited the period when Swift took on the role of Sandy Olsson in a local production of Grease.
Mitnick served as Swift’s co-star during that time, taking on the role of her love interest, Danny Zuko, a character originally portrayed by John Travolta in the ’70s musical comedy. Captioning the post, he expressed gratitude to his mom for retrieving pictures of their collaboration with Taylor Swift, harmonizing like “buttah” on summer nights a quarter-century ago, and pulling them out of storage.
