Olivia Newton-John was visibly moved to tears when a devout fan gifted back her iconic jacket from the movie Grease, which he had bought through an expensive auction bid.
It was just last month when the super-fan had bought the jacket at a charity auction for Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Center.
He actually purchased the jacket at a hefty bid of $243,200, but came back to surprise her with it as a ‘return gift.’
Here’s what he said while giving it back to her in a pink package:
“The odds of beating a recurring cancer using the newest emerging therapies is 1,000 fold greater than someone appearing out of the blue, buying your most famous and cherished icon, and returning it to you, which is what I’m going to do right now,” the fan, whose fans was blurred by his choice in the video, was quoted saying.
He further added:
“This jacket belongs to you and the collective soul of those who love you, those for whom you are the soundtrack of their lives. It should not sit in a billionaire’s closet for country club bragging rights. For this reason I humbly and respectfully return it to its rightful owner, which is you.”
Newton-John, who’s been battling with multiple recurrences of cancer for several years, was shaken and moved by this time. “That is the sweetest thing anyone’s done for me. Thank you.” – she said.
