The Story of John Travolta

Best Friends Or More?

When they met back on the Look Who’s Talking set, Tavolta and Kirstie Alley probably had no idea they would be lifelong friends. They got incredibly close during the years since meeting in 1999. Of course, rumors about the nature of their relationship ran wild, but nothing was authenticated.

Though, Alley did confess to crushing on Travolta when they met, but both were married. They’ve remained friends for over 26 years, and Alley has said she fell in love when she met Travolta.

Playing Copycat

Travolta starred opposite Nicolas Cage in a very unique role for the movie Face/off. If you haven’t seen it, the 1997 centers around a man who had a face transplant. Thus, Cage and Travolta played the same character but pre and post surgery.

In order to fully embrace the role, the two spent two weeks prior to filming learning each other’s movements and mannerisms. They spent hours mimicking each other for practice. Not sure if that was really fun or super annoying, but it sure proves their commitment to the roles!
