Every Day someone brings up something about JOHN TRAVOLTA ranging from his politics, religion or possible behavior traits. People have always made a habit of rushing to judgement on most anything especially people and I feel someone should write about the real Travolta. I have met John 4 times over the years and though not an expert on people , I have been lucky enough to be able to see and and make my own impression of many personalities over the years.
Firstly Travolta is ONE OF THE MOST FAN FRIENDLY STARS you can ever meet. This past weekend only solidified the evidence and it is a shame cameras are not rolling at one of the events.
His new Film THE FORGER was being highlighted in Tampa, Florida and a red carpet was planned with apx 1000 fans lining the ropes with a due excitement Prior to the arrival of Travolta several security staff kept announcing that " He is Not Signing Autographs" which was repeated so many times that most everyone thought that was the truth. Personally down deep I felt that was never going to happen. Several of us attended one of his previous events in his home town of Ocala ( Which he supports very well ) and at that event he signed for a hour for hundreds and hundreds of adoring fans. As his limo pulled up hands were a clapping and many of the older fans waiting were a bit star struck. He went up to a few elderly women giving them hugs and even did a dance with another. WHAT STAR DOES THAT. We were positioned perfectly and he turned to our side and then came to myself. He smiled and I said John. Could You Please sign my Magazine" ( It was a people Magazine from 1983 with he and Stallone on the Cover) He looked at me again and I passed the black sharpie and proceeded to sign it plus another photo. It started an avalanche and the arms filled with items started to go his way. HE NEVER HESITATED and even told the security guard when he tried to stop it" No it is OK". He smiled , took photos for hundreds of people and signed 5 times the number of items with charm and a friendliness that is so rare from any star. There were several VIPs waiting for him who paid 175 dollars but John wanted to be with his fans. HE LOVES THE warmth and the love that so many fans give him and everyone that was waiting for him did not leave disappointed. That is the TRUTH about Travolata. He cares and always knows how important his fans are and they all think the world of him.
So the next time You read any bad press about him, do not pass judgement until You see in at a premiere or where he mingles with his fans. Just as there is Death and Taxes , JOHN TRAVOLTA is one of the best people You can ever meet.
