What John Travolta Was Really Like On The Set Of Hairspray

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Some may have thought John Travolta would stick to himself, especially around a bunch of younger actors and dancers. However, the actor was warm and open on set, and even apparently broke out into song during breaks. "We were filming in Queen Latifah's music shop and all of a sudden we were on a break and one of the dancers yells out, 'John, give us a little Grease,'" Nikki Blonsky shared with People in July. The actor sang a bit of "Summer Loving" and then sang "You're the One That I Want" with Blonsky.

Blonsky also remembered the industry veteran being very sweet and welcoming to her when they first met. She admitted she was completely starstruck and speechless when they first locked eyes. However, Travolta quickly broke the ice. "He looked at me and he opened his arms and he said, 'Come to mama.' And from that minute on, I absolutely fell in love with him," Blonsky added. "I always say 'Hairspray,' it has been the greatest, greatest, greatest blessing of my life. But I think my favorite blessing that's kind of out of 'Hairspray' is my relationship with John."

While the actor has pretty much retired from acting today, she also revealed that she and Travolta still keep in touch. And if fans want to keep up with her, Blonsky is active on TikTok, currently boasting more than 60,000 followers.
