This man is a treasure. Many years ago, he was sitting next to us in a restaurant when we recognized him and we did not want to disturb him. After a little while, I motioned to my camera to ask his permission for a picture. Not only did he agree, he posed for us with his wife Kelly Preston and their new baby. I told him we loved his movies and he thanked us, all the while maintaining eye contact. He recognized we felt special to meet him and he made sure we enjoyed it.
Amazing story! May she rest in peace.
That's a great story. I love Kelly's movies too.
Not surprised, always loved Travolta!
Class act, yes indeed!
What an amazing experience!
Regardless of who the guest is, you can't have a great interview without a great host. In that sense, there's nobody better than James Lipton. May you forever RIP Mr. Lipton. 🙏🙏
I was just thinking that not enough people talk about the brilliant James Lipton, so I was very glad to see your lovely comment.
@@elvisleeboy Thanks friend, he's simply the best.
I do not respect most of Hollywood lately, but John Travolta is such an exception, What a great man and great actor
When your children born after 2000 fall in love with Travolta, you gotta accept it. The real deal.
Just like how you have to accept that Scientology is the real deal. After all, religion is the cornerstone of our daily existence. Wouldn’t you agree?
@@VNP707 Christianity is the real deal
29:00 John Travolta recalls pushing for Olivia Newton-John to get the part of Sandy in "Grease." Thank goodness he got his way... rest in peace Olivia.
A lovely human being and actor. His positive outlook…even through more heartbreaking loss than anyone should face…is an inspiration to all. A great interview.
John has always been one of my absolute favorites. It’s such a treat to see this interview and get to see how absolutely REAL he is. Such a naturally nice person with great things to say and so down to earth for such a successful actor. Love this man!
John is the essence of being present, living fully engaged & a very generous spirit.❤❤❤
Travolta is the coolest, and still looks good. He is the nicest star in Hollywood according to many other showbiz folks. Travolta should have won an Oscar by now. Can we still make that happen? He has entertained us for so long. Isn't it time?
He's so fortunate he had a mother who encouraged him & helped develop his positive self- esteem.
OMG what a beautiful human being is John Travolta!
The power of John's belief in himself makes a fearless actor and capable of almost any character.
John Travolta what a Humble, talented & so Coolest Wonderful guy!!.....
Thanks to his religion of course, for more than 30 years JT has been a Scientologist.
Yes he is!
John is a very talented and special person ❤️
Wow his connection to old Hollywood when he was young is probably why he still last, taking their advice and being born with a talent and humbleness (all greats are)
He spoke with great affection for the peerless James Cagney at that great star's Kennedy Honours salute in 1980. It's available on KZhead...
Pppp ppl
I've been madly in love with him since Welcome Back Kotter and Boy In the Plastic Bubble. He did not disappoint! What an amazing positive heartwarming human being John Travolta is. And a great actor that has entertained us for years 🇮🇪🇮🇹🇺🇸🕺🎭🎭💙💙 yes a nations treasure!
John Travolta you are wonderful. All the very best to you and your beautiful children.
Just a wonderful human… an American Icon 💙💙💙
His descriptions of his youth growing up with his parents and siblings in Englewood, NJ is fascinating.
Sounds like he had a lovely, supportive upbringing.
And also a lovely, supportive religion. Religion mandates how we live our lives on a daily basis, I’m sure you’ll agree.
@@VNP707 I respect your opinion on how religion has shaped your life but then you need to respect my not believing any of it.
@@Jerry-hp5sf pardon me, I wasn’t even talking to you, and your smart-aleck comment does not warrant a response.
John Travolta is a pleasant man to have a chat with!
John Travolta is a treasure
I've always loved him, from his first step in Saturday Night Fever, he had me. He is a very special man and I'm so sorry that he has had such pain and loss in his life. His spirit is amazing and I agree he is a treasure.
He's a great actor and human being
What a class act.
Hard to believe that 20 years has passed since this was recorded. I always loved this program.
Always loved John Travolta❤🌺🇫🇯
John Travolta is a treasure. He resonates as genuine, human, caring, interesting, a good person to know. What a joy!
So is he all those wonderful things because of his religion or in spite of it? Isn’t Scientology a joy? Travolta joined in 1975.
Apart from the whacky, lunatic scientology beliefs that is.
Yes, it stroke me how genuine and honest he shows. His advice is also very serious and cut honest. Just lovely.
@@VNP707 k
@@VNP707 both, but ONLY JOHN CAN SAY
Adore John Travolta ❤
There are rare human beings like Travolta , talented beyond greatness, generous combined with genius and loving soul. What an extraordinary human to have in one's life!
Thanks to his religion, Scientology correct?
Yes you nailed it on the head!! Such a kind and graceful human being…he is inspiring! He makes me want to be a better and more understanding and giving human being ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely indeed ❤️
Yes he is!
To me, it's a crime John Travolta has never won an Oscar for Best Actor. He is long overdue, so many iconic roles he has acted & great films he was in.
I agree with everyone else ! Also a very intelligent guy. I admire his skills..... A dramatic actor with a great sense of humor, sings and dances. Drives a plane better than a car !! Just seems to lack fear. Quite humble as well. I'm sure he's awefully grateful for the life he has been given.
John Travolta the great of greats. Loved this interview,. Thank you ! Why am I crying? Life goes by so quickly I grew up with John and Nicholas Cage, Penn, Gee's, the Breakfast club , Keanu Reeves, Newman, Marlon Brando, Jimmy Stewart , James Cagney, my pallet of gifts are many of the best and there will never be greats ever again.
What a gem he is :)
There is always someone who paves the way...old Hollywood was that for Mr. Travolta...BRILLIANT!
Great, great interview. Such an excellent actor. So gifted. Born to do it. I wish him and his family all the best. Mind, heart and soul.
Loved him in all your work! I had a friend who looked just like in the 70's ,when you was in (Welcome Back Carter).
Amen...nicest guy in Hollywood.
He is just an outstanding human being.....and it shows in his work, and much, much more.
Beautiful spirit and super talent. John Travolta seems to be a great guy.
Simply wonderful
As is his religion for more than 30 years. You cannot cherry-pick and separate a human being from his religion surely. Yours is a glowing endorsement for Scientology.
My god John we're just 9 minutes into this thing and I am so entertained with you I could totally believe how you would entertain your mom and dad and family and friends and you getting to me all these wonderful amazing actors This was my dream I went to Hollywood I delivered to their houses from a liquor store that had patrons from the silent era but I never got to meet them though they tipped generously! L. Eric Sahagun
I read the title and I saw that it was an hour and a half so I thought…. OK I’m gonna click on it for a few minutes that would be enough and then Whata you know i’m still here cuz John Travolta is so fascinating to listen to that he keeps you in the moment and then it’s an hour and a half later 😎
some people you see them you just feel relaxed and happy, and some just the opposite. Travolta definitely makes u feel good.
Best interview Lipton.
John Travolta, you are handsome, so sweet I love this interview, you are so down to earth. I truly hope you win an Academy Award one day. You are such a great actor. You have played so many different parts, and each one you played perfectly. All the very best to you.
He truly deserves an AFI life time achievement award too ❤️
Pathetic
Such an outstanding interview. John Travolta a wonderful actor, a wonderful husband, and father to his children. John deserves all the very best in this life. I hope and pray it is given to him.
My Goodness, His response to what would God say to him etc. Rest In Peace darling Dame Olivia Newtown-John. ✝️🕊🙏🏼💃🏼🎭🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺. This was a fantastic episode. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 John Travolta. 11/8/22 (August).
my choice for my husband he's had so much lose in his life , girlfriend passed away then his baby boy, then Kelly now Olivia N J. my heart break's for him. I have cancer also he just can't get away from it.
@@cherylmoore7439, How are you now with your illness? I hope you are doing much better. Prayers for you 🙏💯%.
One of my friends used to rent movies from Quentin Tarantino. She remembered that he knew everything about the movies in the video store. 😮 She was not surprised that he became a famous director. He did save John's career in the most brilliant way.
Very talented. Appears to be a humble person. Good luck John.
Watched this till the end. So generous and honest in his answers. No pompous attitude given his accomplishments, just naturally being himself. The dance at the end was a nice touch. Would love to meet him and have lunch with him. The stories he could tell …
His willingness to share and give of himself is telling about human character. He is a better angel.
He is just awsome
The Blockbuster Award. A memory of a sweet time. And this entire interview is fabulous.
I love John Travolta...he is one of the best actors and a superb human being! The personality of this man makes me love him even more. John deserves a life time achievement award.
I love all of John's movie's I been a huge fan since I was 12year old I m 50 year's old now still a huge fan 🤗❣️💕♥️💘🥰
John Travolta is an amazing actor who has made some really memorable films.
John Travolta is such a sweet guy and it’s ironic that he plays the best villains in my opinion.
One of the best Actors Studio interviews of an artist I've ever seen.
Agree. Wasn't expecting that.
The most nominated blockbuster award nominee ever
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE JOHN TRAVOLTA!! ♡
I absolutely Lovvvvve John Travolta!
Genius
Given his stature as an artist, it’s refreshing how transparent and humble he seems. John seems almost shy like he really doesn’t even want to talk about himself too much. In the land of egomaniacs that is so rare and I think it does come from himHaving parents who were older who he had to be patient with and nurturing with and also his association with old Hollywood stars who younger stars probably dismissed. John was a pretty smart guy to tap into their knowledge base.
John Travolta is a inspiration to me. His outlook on life, his positivity, talent,sense of humor, loyalty etc etc etc is just first rate, a true class act. Thanks John for everything !!
Yes…love everything about this graceful talented humanitarian ❤️
Wow what a wonderful interview 😍❤ because John Travolta is so talented and wise 🦉❤
Even all these years later he freaks me out when he talks with his real accent & voice.
If you don't love John Travolta then you don't like movies he has always made wonderful movies love him
We need as many John Travoltas in the world as we can get. Love this.
I have been a long time fan of John Travolta, from his iconic TV series to his early work in those great films to the present. The man is extremely popular and talented in anything he's in. I wish him continued success and prosperity. 😎👍
Incredibly generous to the students. My favorite, of all time, in the show.
Great actor and a very down-to-earth person!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What a brilliant guy. God bless
So cool he had that connection to the Hollywood Golden Era actors and hung around with them. LOVE his Barbara Stanwyck impersonation. I mean, of all the weirdest combinations one can think of: Travolta imitating Missy 5:40. Very cool he was the one who presented her with her Lifetime Achievement Oscar too. :)
Aaaahhh !!! What a beautiful ending ! I love John, at the bottom of his soul is the nicest guy you'd ever wanna meet . Now, I'm off to watch Phenomenon (again). It came today in the mail and I haven't seen it in a long time .
Just an awesome awesome man and a truly caring human being
The best of Actors Studio I've ever watched.
I love this guy.
WE LOVE U JOHNNY!....WHAT A LIFE!
I remember when he flew to Australia in his QANTAS jet complete with appropriate uniform. This was very cool and is well remembered. Obviously he is a master of his craft and a thoroughly decent and caring bloke. Good on ya mate. Love from Aussie Land
John Travolta is one actor, with good and interesting talents in acting and in real life, who has strong caring values for people and sense of positivity. He has genuine interest not only for his craft but for embracing life with joy. A truly remarkable man!👏🤗🕺📽️🎞️

He was so great in Pulp Fiction.
Can't believe I missed this one. He's great!
He’s hilarious and entertaining
I remember John and his Eroupe at Wittman Airport. Went with him to see a DC-3 he purchased. Be a good person his whole life. Glad to have met him.
I always Liked John Travolta A great Thespian Actor His Movies are Amazing Last name Express High Voltage ⚡ meaning live wire and He is Very very That Great Actor Travolta is Amazing
This interview is 20 years old. Travolta has a huge body of work since then. A favorite is Gotti. As a True Crime junkie, I've read and watched much about Gotti and Travolta nailed it right down to his last minutes on his deathbed. The movie was criticized a lot because it wasn't some other movie like Godfather, or Goodfellas, or Casino (which was nothing like the true story in the book). But even then, they said Travolta was excellent. But the movie really was good, very good.
John Travolta just reminded me of two things, that the only things in life with value:are loving and being positive:: "Funny" comes out of those two. I'm a writer, needing this lesson once again.
I loved the entire interview and the lovely dance at the end was Fantastic.
He's so humble.... He really is a Treasure.
He is a great and very modest man. Love his movies.
James did a great job of interviewing him, and giving him the opportunity to shine.
An American icon.
loved him in pulp fiction and phenomenon...
Such a sweet man. Just love his beautiful soul to pieces!😁💕💙
Thanks Metatron Greetings from John Travolta
@@johntravolta-pm3xy You're welcome, if this is really John. I think I fell in love with you watching Michael and then phenomenon… I know they're not you but they just portrayed such a beautiful side that I could see you truly have. Such a fun sense of humor and orneryness... And a love for the creator. Very important. Namaste
@@MetatronsWing This is John Travolta how are you doing
@@johntravolta-pm3xy awesome hon! How you doin?😁 I hope you found peace again. Hope you're still throwing out that beautiful smile.
@@MetatronsWing Thanks Metatron do you care to chat somewhere else
John Travolta has been in some phenominal films.
*phenomenal
@@annehajdu8654 👍👍 where is spell-check when I need it? Thank you.
A good show is the person who interviews and how much he enjoys it. I enjoyed watching you do your job.
This was really wonderful I never realised just how much effort john put into his work…he has such a presence about him.. John your Olivia, Kirsty and your darling wife Kelly and son Jet will be waiting for you when you take your final flight home….you have experienced such tragedy…may your future years only bring you joy. ❤️🇦🇺❤️ thank you for being the ambassador for our Australian airline Qantas. ❤❤❤❤
I felt the same connection to John as I did Sly Stalone when he was open and knowledgable. A couple of guys that care about entertaining us first and foremost! Great interview!
I love him and his view of the world and people and staying positive
Solid human being! 👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I would LOVE to see every episode of this show.
same.. they used to nearly all be on youtube about like.. 10-15 years ago (the early/dark ages of KZhead), but they started getting removed, and I think that the channel (Bravo?) was very strict about keeping them down. Maybe since James Lipton has passed they'll be a little more relaxed and hopefully allow people to upload them again!
@@Nelekets I've noticed that in the last few days, as I've been binge watching these on KZhead, they are showing the clips when James turns your attention to the screen behind him. They used to cut that part out.
@@dcool2u2 After i posted, I found an "inside the actors studio" youtube channel, they are slowly uploading all the uploads little by little it seems.
@@Nelekets Yeah, I found that as well. It has a dozen or so but stated that others are not available. But I hope they will keep adding them on. James Lipton had such a way of relaxing the guests and we really got a sense of what they are really like and how they grew up and got into entertainment etc. Things that you never learned on regular late night talk shows or interviews.
Those beautiful eyes
John is so sweet, kind, and humble man. Wonderful man who loves his family so much, especially his children. John is a natural dancer and every dancing film he has been in has been beyond superb, excellence. Some of the best films I liked him in the best were Saturday Night Fever, The Generals Daughter, Urban Cowboy, Civil Action, A Love Song For Bobby Long, and Blow Out.
God bless you & all of your family. You have a beautiful family & are a beautiful soul! The best words i can say to you is, thank you. You're an amazing actor !
He is such a lovely human being!!! So kind and generous in every way possible 💜💙
John Travolta is an amazing actor I love him and his movies. What a treasure he is. He is magnanimous. Amazing. This was a good interview.Thank you for posting this video 📷.
