John Travolta Finally Breaks His Silence

They say there is no rest for the wicked, and this was the case for Travolta. Just four short days after filming on “Saturday Night Fever” wrapped, Travolta started working on his next hit movie, “Grease.” This was the biggest box office hit of 1978, so it’s no surprise he wanted to get stuck in straight away. This was an especially difficult time for Travolta as his girlfriend, Diana Hyland had recently passed away in his arms.

According to the “Grease” director, Randal Kleiser, Travolta was having trouble lip-syncing the words “heat lap trials” and kept on saying, “heap” instead. As a professional, Travolta eventually got there and was able to lip sync correctly.
