Like A King
All of the flattery that flooded in by millions of fans caused some problems for the couple as well. Swayze revealed that getting named the world’s sexiest man made him feel like “king for a day”. However he knew he needed Lisa in order to help keep his feet on the ground. Lisa even received a lot of death threats from Patrick’s fans.

Despite all the attention, Patrick Swayze only had eyes for his wife. In fact, it was his love for Lisa that inspired him to write the hit ballad “She’s Like The Wind” – yes, the same song that featured as Dirty Dancing’s hit single. “I just felt at that time that I’m very, very lucky to have a woman who thinks I hung the moon,” he told PEOPLE magazine in 2007. While they didn’t appear together onscreen, Patrick did practice all of his dance routines for the film with his wife.
