John Travolta Finally Breaks His Silence

The “John-aissance”

Things started looking up for John Travolta when he acted alongside Kirstie Alley in “Look Who’s Talking” as a taxi driver. The movie came out in 1989 and earned an incredible $297 million in theaters. The people making the movie knew they had a hit because this was Travolta’s biggest success at the box office since “Grease.” So, they decided to create several sequels, marking a new period of success for him.

Some people referred to this period as his “John-aissance.” In 1994, he got a role in Quentin Tarantino’s film “Pulp Fiction,” acting alongside Samuel L. Jackson. His performance as Vincent Vega earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. This was like a fresh start for Travolta, reaching new levels of success. Naturally, this brought more fame and wealth.
