What made him even more favorite was his role in the American musical romantic comedy Greese where he played Danny Zuko, the good-looking blue-eyed greaser.\r\n\r\nWikipedia Commons\r\n\r\nJohn, who was born in 1954 in New Jersey, New York, is the youngest of six siblings. He always knew he wanted to become part of the film industry and dropped out of high school to try himself in acting and it turned to be the best decision he could ever made as he became one of the most famous names in Hollywood.\r\n\r\nWikipedia Commons / Towpilot\r\n\r\nThroughout the years, he starred in a number of movies and was part of numerous projects 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.\r\n\r\nIn 1991, John married actress Kelly Preston. At the time they met, Kelly was married to actor Kevin Gage. In 2018, she spoke of that marriage and said, ”Well, I was not that happily married, let’s put it that way. I was really with the wrong person.” Luckily, John turned to be the right person for her as the two stayed married for nearly 30 years, until her death in July, 2020 after battling breast cancer for two years.\r\n\r\nJohn Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston, circa 1991\r\n\r\nThe couple had three children together, Jett, born on April 13, 1992, daughter Ella Bleu, born in 2000, and son Benjamin born 2010.\r\nIn 2009, John and Kelly suffered a tragedy after their son Jett, who had autism and suffered regular seizures passed away.
