Help I'm obsessed with John Travolta

[itssquidstella]

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?

[quote itssquidstella]@BronwenFrideswide it's utterly barmy but he and Nic Cage are GREAT in it and obviously having a ball.[/quote]
It is utterly barmy but it is a guilty pleasure watch for me purely for the way JT plays the bad guy with such relish. A frequent catch phrase in this house is 'Touche' said a la John Travolta in that film!

I love the opening strut he does in Saturday Night Fever.

I thought that I was the only one to have thing for John Travolta.
Seems I'm not.
Well none of you can have him, I saw him first. He's mine, I tell you, MINE! 😡

[quote itssquidstella]@Twinkie01 what film? I must know![/quote]
It's called Perfect!

It's so cringy it's hilarious!

Please come back and tell me if it has dulled your ardour for Johnnie Smooth Hips 😂

@CanIPullYouForAChat

Lesser known, but was anyone else a big fan of the look who’s talking films? I watched them several times over as a kid!

Haha I love the Look Who’s Talking trilogy

I ❤️ JT.

We were introduced to him in the 70's on the tv show Welome Back Kotter. He played the good looking but not bright Vinnie Barbarino. I think his hair stole the show.

Oh I remember that film now Twinkie01 made at the height of the aerobics obsessed 80's wasn't it?

Yes, the hip thrusting is epic 😂

Watch this cheese-mungous video he made with Olivia Newton John a few years ago. That'll fix ya!

He was my first crush. In look whos talking too 🤭

@Classica

Lego hair 😂😂😂

Gross!

He looks like a big sweaty Kryten from Red Dwarf.

And he's a Scientologist.

Naht sexy.

@CanIPullYouForAChat I loved the first Look Who's Talking!

@birdling I think you'll find that, as founder of the thread, John Travolta belongs to ME.

@mdinbc omg that photo.

We are halfway through Face/Off. It is as gloriously nuts as I remember, and JT as a bad guy is fabulous. DH is enjoying himself too, but not as much as I am.

@Twinkie01 sorry, my loins are still aflame.

I love the film Staying Alive it's so cheesy

Yes I agree. Love him in look whose talking. And face/off, the greatest film of all time? No? No. But good though.

I posed with his madam Tussauds Wax work about 18 years ago - he is very very tall.

Touche itssquidstella

Come on, OP! Surely seeing his disco outfits in Saturday Night Fever would neutralise any attraction permanently?

(It was on telly a couple of weeks ago, DH and I were marvelling at his salmon pink ‘slacks’ and tucked in cream satin shirt printed with pink palm trees).

@BronwenFrideswide touché!

@Iamthewombat I love a man in pink satin. Think of the sparks that would literally fly.

@NigellaSeed I am also very tall! It's a match made in heaven.

I think he looked so odd years ago to play Robert Shapiro. He was excellent in People vs OJ.

My Dad looks so similar to him, he did in his youth anyway, except my dad is grey now and not quite so shiny!

(He’s single just saying )

@2020in2020 does your dad have Travolta's dance moves?

The Scientology shit was like a cold shower for me.

I didn't know Kelly Preston had died. That's so sad.
