Six Time’s The Charm

Who could ever turn down a film with Halle Berry and Hugh Jackman? Apparently, John Travolta almost did…six times. Finally, after being offered the role of Gabriel Shear, a counter-terrorist unit commander, for Swordfish (2011), Travolta accepted. Actually, he accepted because he heard Dominic Sena was directing.

Can you believe, it has taken Travolta over six years to train himself for this role as an Italian-American gangster? Something he found in common with his gangster character…they both enjoy gin martinis! Hey, that’s a starting point, I guess. Not that we want to hear he has that much in common with his character…
