What is the deal with John Travolta's Face?

Have you seen it? And his voice

What is the deal with John Travolta's face? Is it part of the make-up for his role in the OJ Simpson program, or is his face actually like that now?

His voice sounds really odd too. Is that for the role or is it to do with his inability to move his face properly?

Tell me I am not the only one to notice this.

I've just googled Robert Shapiro (who Travolta plays) and he has very dominant eyebrows, so maybe that is deliberate makeup.

Its a very unflattering look on Travolta though.

Blimey, is that who that man who vaguely reminded me of John Revolta, was? I didn't bother to read the credits and assumed it wasn't him jut a cheap made-For-TV version of...

I think no-one looks good with plastic surgery. Unless it's done for medical reasons. You can always tell someone's messed about with their face and it doesn't make anyone look younger - just weirder.

Also, whilst we're at it - what appalling casting! I'm a white, middle aged woman and I look more like O.J than the bloke they cast.

FATEdestiny · 22/02/2016 21:56

I think it's (extreme) make up to look like Robert Shapiro

Weird choice of actor if they were going for similar looks though.

It's like car crash TV, the over acting is terrible but I can't stop watching

Ginmakesitallok · 22/02/2016 21:59

Didn't Travolta produce the series?

CaptainCrunch · 22/02/2016 22:01

Everyone in it is horribly miscast. The trailers are really pompous, like it's some kind of television "event". It's not.

Chippednailvarnish · 22/02/2016 22:08

I just keep seeing Ross making the same face that marked Marcel's departure...

lorelei9 · 22/02/2016 22:09

I thought it was for the role and the lawyer must have really spoken that way?

Potatoface2 · 22/02/2016 22:12

ross geller looks horrified that he has the part of the kardashians dad....he looks like hes gonna cry!

How the hell did they convince so many fab actors to do something so dire? Confused

QueenOfThorns · 22/02/2016 22:25

I think the eyebrows look like the only thing they got right. He actually isn't orange enough!

RJnomore1 · 22/02/2016 22:30

David schwimmer - the man who brought you Ross geller AND the kardashians

😁

Travolta seems to only be able to move his lower jaw and he's wearing the eagle from the muppets eyebrows.

I'm loving it !

RJnomore1 · 22/02/2016 22:32

Oh and in case no ones noticed that's theo huckstable driving the white car.

Cutecat78 · 22/02/2016 22:40

"everything is terrible"

Erm yup Grin

JoffreyBaratheon · 22/02/2016 22:53

I have always been a huge fan of bad, camp, 1980s' Made For TVs and this does have all the same production values. So I am enjoying it despite everything.

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 22/02/2016 23:04

My god that's scary Shock

AnyFucker · 22/02/2016 23:04

Yes I spotted him, had a crush on him has a youngster Blush
I'm quite enjoying it too for all its crapness but on a,serious note, why is nobody representing the victims? No crying friends or relatives getting a mentionSad

StrangeLookingParasite · 22/02/2016 23:20

His lips are purple. Purple.

Cutecat78 · 22/02/2016 23:22

I saw an article where Nicole's sisters were slating Schwimmer for spending time with Simpson and Kardashian families and not Brown or Goldman. Sad

Think I would be mortified if this was made about my relatives murder.
