Ella Travolta Now

Many of those who are in show business would not encourage their children following in their footsteps. This is not the case in the Travolta household as their daughter Ella Bley is well on the way to becoming an actress in her own right. Now as a young adult, she is honing her craft just as her father did.

When John was asked at the 2017 SAG awards about whether he encouraged her acting career, he answered positively and said, “Yes, I want her to because she is so good at it. She is such a good performer.” Fathers are always their daughters’ biggest fans, but in this case, he may have a point.

Facial Hair

John Travolta, a famous Hollywood star, has paid a lot of attention to his appearance, especially his hair and facial hair. He’s dyed it in various colors and even added extra hair to make it look thicker. Usually, each new style is for a particular character he’s going to portray in a movie.

The same goes for his facial hair which has seen a number of different styles including goatee beards and handlebar mustaches. While each of these different looks has been for different roles he was playing, there is no denying that each one has been pretty jarring for the average spectator.

Dance With Princess Diana

One of the most iconic moments in John Travolta’s life was in 1985 when he danced with Princess Diana at the White House. It took place at a gala dinner hosted by the President at the time, Ronald Reagan. It was a surreal moment for both of them.

At the event, Nancy Reagan mentioned that Diana wanted to dance with John Travolta. He asked her, and she agreed. Travolta still considers it one of the greatest moments in his life. He mentioned, “We danced for 15 minutes. I feel really lucky to have had that experience.”

You’re The One That I Want

When Travolta and the Australian actress/ singer Olivia Newton-John worked together when they starred as Danny Zuko, and Sandy Olsson in the on-screen musical “Grease” everyone could see the genuine chemistry between the two. The late great Newton-John was probably one of Travolta’s all-time crushes.

People began talking about a possible romance between them, especially when they worked together in more movies, like “Two of a Kind.” However, the romantic relationship didn’t become serious, and they stayed good friends until Olivia’s unexpected death. They would often be seen together at Hollywood gatherings, recalling their past experiences.

The Hiatus

Not every role you choose is going to be a success, and for Travolta, the dip in his career came when he starred in the movie, “Urban Cowboy,” following which was a string of failed films that had very poor reviews and didn’t do well at the box office either. This was despite him being offered multiple roles that were sure-fire hits.

Not every decision is the right decision at the time, and this led to a downturn in movie offers and a period of quiet for Travolta. As we know, this wasn’t the end of his career, and soon enough, he was making good decisions and appearing in huge hits once again. Travolta had re-found his mojo.

A Singing Sensation

Most of Travolta’s career has been focused on acting and dancing, but he is the triple threat and can also belt out a tune. After appearing in “Grease” he could have taken the same route as his co-star, Olivia Newton-John, and become a successful singer, but he decided to stick with acting.

John Travolta did make one foray into singing as a young 22-year-old when he released a love song entitled, “Let Her In.” It captured the hearts and minds of the American public and eventually made it to the number 10 spot on the Billboard charts. But that’s as serious as Travolta got as a full-time singer.
