John Travolta is tapping into our nostalgia. The actor, 71, made a surprise appearance at Friday\u2019s \u201cGrease\u201d sing-a-long at the Hollywood Bowl dressed as his iconic bad boy Danny Zuko from the 1978 film.<\/p>\n
Travolta is the one that we wanted but didn\u2019t see coming as a guest at the Los Angeles event. He posted a photo on Instagram looking older but still dapper, sporting grey hair and his signature leather jacket. In the video of his appearance, Travolta revealed, \u201cNo one knew. Not even the cast. Thank you for a great evening.\u201d<\/p>\n
The actor was joined by fellow \u2018Grease\u2019 castmates Barry Pearl, Michael Tucci, Kelly Ward, Didi Conn, and director Randal Kleiser. It\u2019s clear from their jaw-dropping reactions that they were stunned as much as the audience, who erupted when Travolta took the stage.<\/p>\n
Before kicking off a sing-along, Travolta kicked things off singing in unison with the crowd, \u201ca-womp-bop-a-looma a-womp-bam-boom.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shortly after, the beloved actor spoke on the mic, addressing fans in the crowd. “L.A., I thought you were going back to Australia? That\u2019s cool, that\u2019s cool, baby. You know, riding and rollin\u2019 and whatnot.”<\/p>\n
Back in 2019, Travolta and his co-star Olivia Newton-John reunited to dress up and sing-along with fans of the film. They announced on Instagram that they would be hosting three special screenings of their hit movie musical, along with a Q&A afterward. Newton-John, who played Sandy, died from breast cancer at age 73 in August 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"John Travolta is tapping into our nostalgia.
