Movies like Saturday Night Fever (1977) made a lot of money, and John Travolta became a worldwide famous star. He gained even more recognition after starring in the film Grease. John was born in 1954 in New Jersey, New York.
He was the youngest child in his family.
He dropped out of high school to focus on acting because he had known since childhood that he wanted to be an actor.
Even though it was a risky move, he can now say it was the best decision he could have made. Over the years, John has had roles in many films, including Two of a Kind (1983), Pulp Fiction (1994), Get Shorty (1995), for which he won a Golden Globe, Broken Arrow (1996), Wild Hogs (2007), Gotti (2018), and more.
John married actress Kelly Preston in 1991. She was married when they met.
Kelly said in 2018 that she was not happy in her previous marriage and that she was not with the right person.
In July 2020, Kelly passed away from breast cancer. She and John were married for nearly 30 years. Their son, Jett, was born on April 13, 1992. Their daughter, Ella Bleu, was born in 2000, and their youngest son, Benjamin, was born in 2010.
Jett passed away in 2009 due to complications from seizures he experienced as a result of autism. John felt terrible and said he didn’t know how to cope with everything. The star had to recover so he could spend time with his other two children.
Like both of her parents, Ella is also an actress. She mentioned that she has been interested in this field since childhood and that she was lucky to have parents who gave her good advice.
After Kelly’s death, Ella wrote some loving words for her mother. She said her mother was the best person she had ever met and that she loved her very much. She thanked her for everything she had done for her.
Ella says that her father is the most important person in her life and that they share a very close bond. John is also very proud of his daughter, and he always shows it, especially on social media, where he posts frequently. Once, he shared a video of himself dancing with Ella to remember Kelly. John mentioned that dancing with him was one of Kelly’s favorite pastimes. Father and daughter, John and Ella, get along exceptionally well, and we hope it always stays that way because family is the most important thing in the world.
