Before his sad 2009 death, Patrick Swayze was one of Hollywood’s most beloved hunks. He was handsome, deeply in love with his longtime wife, and all in all lead a picture-perfect life — or so everyone thought! Nine years after his demise, REELZ’s new docuseries Patrick Swayze: The Price of Fame, seeks to uncover the truth behind the star’s sad childhood and showbiz shame.<br /><br />In the show teaser, a young Swayze is shown telling his dad that he was bullied in school for his dancing skills! His dad tells him he’ll teach him to fight like a boxer o it never happens again.<br /><br />“He developed those kind of ‘guy skills’ and it was inspiring to Patrick because to be a son who danced in Texas, he also had to get the approval as a man and I think it was really important to Patrick of his own father,” says Dirty Dancing choreographer Miranda Garrison in the video promo.<br /><br />“I don’t think Patrick ever really stopped trying to prove himself to his father,” she adds of the late star.<br /><br />Patrick Swayze: The Price of Fame airs Sunday, March 11 at 9ET / PT on REELZ.
