Movies like “Saturday Night Fever” (1977) catapulted John Travolta to international stardom and brought him widespread recognition. His fame only soared higher with his iconic role in “Grease.”
Born in New Jersey, New York, in 1954, John Travolta was the youngest among his siblings.
From a young age, he harbored a deep-seated ambition to pursue acting, prompting him to forgo high school and focus solely on honing his craft. Despite the inherent risks, this decision proved to be pivotal in shaping his illustrious career.
Throughout the years, John has graced the silver screen with his presence in numerous acclaimed films, including “Two of a Kind” (1983), “Pulp Fiction” (1994), and “Get Shorty” (1995), which earned him a prestigious Golden Globe award. His versatile performances in movies like “Broken Arrow” (1996), “Wild Hogs” (2007), and “Gotti” (2018) further solidified his status as a Hollywood heavyweight.
In 1991, John Travolta tied the knot with actress Kelly Preston, despite her being previously married. Their union lasted nearly three decades until Kelly tragically succumbed to breast cancer in July 2020. Together, they shared the joys of parenthood, welcoming their son Jett in 1992, followed by daughter Ella Bleu in 2000 and youngest son Benjamin in 2010.
The loss of their beloved son Jett in 2009, due to complications from autism-related seizures, left John and Kelly devastated. Grappling with profound grief, John embarked on a journey of healing to ensure he could be there for his remaining children.
