If you thought Travolta said goodbye to musicals with Grease, guess again. When Broadway hit musical Hairspray was adapted to film in 2007, Travolta got cast as Edna Turnblad. Please, tell me you have seen him in this hilarious role with his kitten heels and dress! Of course, his musical background and dance history aided him with this role. He even wore a 30 pound fat suit for his role. Perhaps, the hardest part was sitting through five hours of makeup! Now that sounds harder than wearing heels for the first time.

Charity For Haiti

Of course, we know how successful Travolta has been over the years, but he’s also been extremely fast to donate some of his wealth to any charity in need. Thus, back when Haiti suffered a terrible earthquake, Travolta stepped up. He filled his 707 with necessary, lifesaving supplies and doctors to fly over. When commenting on this, he explained he felt an immense responsiblity to aid in whatever way he could by giving whatever contributions he could to charity. Therefore, he put his airplane to use! What a kind man!
