Last week, Grease was the latest film to be the target of a mind blowing fan theory. However, Grease creator Jim Jacobs is squashing the Reddit user’s theory.

The theory basically explains that Sandy (Olivia Newton John) was dead, or dying, for the duration of the film, having drowned at the very start – remember that opening scene of her and Danny (John Travolta) at the beach?

Crazy, right? Well, Grease fans can finally put their mind at ease because Jacobs is debunking the Sandy–died–in–the–ocean theory.

Jacobs, who wrote the original Grease book and musical with Warren Casey, told TMZ that whoever came up with the bizarre rumour “must have been on acid.”

The creator admits that there are differences from the book and movie, but one thing remains true: “Sandy was very much alive” in both adaptations.
