Drop-Out
Despite not quite being real-life Grease bad boy Danny Zuko, Travolta did drop out of school. Back when he was just 16 years old, he left high school to act. Besides playing football and basketball while in high school, he always took acting classes after school. Well, those classes sure paid off! However, we can’t endorse dropping out for everyone, so stay in school kids!

Back to the Beginning
John Joseph Travolta was born in New Jersey back in 1954. He was raised in an Irish-American neighborhood close to NYC. His mother was Irish-American, while his father came from an Italian-American background, and they raised the kids Catholic. As the youngest of six, John sure lucked out considering all his siblings also loved acting. Therefore, he got plenty of practice and advice at home.
