Help I'm obsessed with John Travolta

I saw Hairspray at the theatre last night (great fun, would recommend), and it reminded me of how much I loved John Travolta in the film version.

So far today I have rewatched Grease and spent more hours than I care to add up watching clips of him dancing on YouTube.

Does anyone want to snap me out if it or, alternatively, join me in my obsession?

On the plus side, he does have the best smile on the world.

On the other hand, there's all that Scientology shit.

Oh he is bloody delish, I love him.
From the moment saw him in Grease and then walking down the street with that paint can in staying alive….lovely!

I love that he was so so popular then went away and came back brilliantly in Pulp fiction.

He’s a funky fab fella!

He’s had such sadness though.
Lovely man.

He's amazing. Love Grease, could watch it every day. YANBU.

itssquidstella · 25/08/2021 19:43

@thistimelastweek but at least he doesn't bang on about the Scientology like crazy Tom Cruise does.

@Damnyoureyes I think the fact he's had such tragedy makes me love him more. I want to give him a hug 🤗

@Bobmonkfish one of my favourite films. I’ve never actually seen Saturday Night Fever, it is now on my list.

Look at pictures of him now perhaps OP?

But then you might end up analysing them for ages to work out a)WTF has he done to his face and b) if his hair is sprayed on or not.

itssquidstella · 25/08/2021 19:45

@Bathtimebillie he looks a bit more normal at the moment. A couple of years ago I agree, it was very odd. Maybe he didn't have access to a wig maker hair stylist during lockdown?

Oh those twinkly eyes, and the adorable dimples swoooon

Bathtimebillie · 25/08/2021 19:45

I stand corrected, he seems to have abandoned the sprayed on hair now and admitted defeat.

Bathtimebillie · 25/08/2021 19:46

I still can't get over what he looked like in the OJ Simpson TV series.

littlebilliie · 25/08/2021 19:46

I watched pulp fiction a few weeks ago that film could not be made today

itssquidstella · 25/08/2021 19:46

@VetInAVat fight you for him

itssquidstella · 25/08/2021 19:47

@Bathtimebillie yeah I’ve seen pictures - but wasn't he supposed to look like the guy he was playing?

@littlebilliie it's so good though!

I will not be swayed by John Travolta now. He is a hottie and I still would.

Is he the one you want?

flowerbus · 25/08/2021 19:54

I always wanted to marry a man with a chin dimple because of him

VetInAVat · 25/08/2021 19:55

@itssquidstella outside, now!

Ohpulltheotherone · 25/08/2021 19:58

My first love.

Just going to leave this here

@flowerbus and did you succeed? DP is now feeling very insignificant because I am mooning around the house saying "I wish John Travolta were my husband".

@VetInAVat hold on, let me just sew myself into my catsuit first.

Lol, are you the last person in the world to realise that John Travolta is gay?

itssquidstella · 25/08/2021 20:06

@Marguerite2000 yes I know but that's okay because it's a legitimate reason for him not falling madly in love with me, so I'll allow it.

What?? @marguerite2000 since when?? I had no idea 😳
