Travolta considers move to Australia

The tragedy-bitten star has spent a lot of time holed up at his Florida compound, still struggling with the deaths of wife Kelly Preston, son Jett and close friends like Australian songbird Olivia Newton-John.

Said a source: "In Australia, it's like Grease just came out yesterday. "There's this whole country where he has been consistently famous for over 40 years, in part because of his close friendship with Olivia."

“John’s supporters are aging out of the business and dwindling in numbers. When he's in L.A., he barely gets recognized anymore."

I think the story was planted to make rain for Travolta's career. It's a back handed way of letting the powers that be know there's money on the table because so many people love him.

Do they have a Church of Scientology there?

Or planted as a nail in his coffin. It doesn't exactly paint a picture of a vibrant star choosing his projects with care. Rather it paints him as so desperate for attention and adulation that he would consider moving to fucking end of the world Australia where people still recognize him or care. I don't mean to bicker with R2 whomight be correct, it's only that to my reading it seems anything but a clever planted story to me -- unless the clever planter hates his guts.

Travolta is one of those people who I never hear a bad thing about. People may not like his association with Scientology, but he seems to be a good, kind man.

Beard or not, his wife was the mother of his kids and it's quite conceivable he hasn't been paying attention to his career for a while to look after himself the people around him. I certainly would have told the world to fuck off for a few years if I had his fortune.

R5 ??????????????

All the masseuse he groped. And I still somewhat like him. But you never heard that?

Travolta considers coming out of the closet and admitting he’s a connoisseur of cock 🍆.

by Anonymousreply 9October 21, 2024 12:38 PM

Why would he want to move to a place where everyone recognizes him for a 40 year old movie.

Oh, for the tax breaks.

Wel, it was the Australians who brought ABBA back by never letting them go out of fashion...

He wants to learn to play the didgeridoo.

by Anonymousreply 17October 21, 2024 6:16 PM

Or he's hating Florida politics and weather - plus his ability to fly planes may be limited at 70.

I know pilots have to retire at what 65?

Australia has better weather than Florida. He lives in Ocala - northern middle of the state that's close to...nothing? He lives in the nowheresville.

I doubt he'd move because of fawning audiences or a spill-over from ONJ fame.

The article reads like down under fanfiction written by an aging Grease stan desperately shipping Travolta and zombie ONJ.

Say what you will about Travolta, he was and is a handsome guy with excellent facial bone structure with or without hair.

Frankly, now that he's shaving his head, he's actually a bit hotter than he was during the hairpiece years.

by Anonymousreply 24October 21, 2024 7:22 PM

He looks weird. Not ugly though, and his body type is my type so he could have me.

The strong Aussie sun is gonna burn his scalp.

He doesn’t seem a vain worship loving type to me.

POOR BABY. In the 1990s, when movie stars were getting paid more than they ever would again, he was getting $25 million a picture.

Who gives a fuck wherher he’s recognized or not or if he ever works again?

by Anonymousreply 28October 21, 2024 9:41 PM

R28 - apparently he had invested really well with his money in the 70's and early 80's. He was making millions then - which imagine what that would have turned into with proper investment?

The money in the 90s and 2000s were great - but it's just icing on the cake.

Maybe he wants to escape Scientologists - but I heard they have branches in Oz too.

i thought Scientology was banned in Australia. Or is that a different country I'm thinking of?

by Anonymousreply 30October 21, 2024 10:08 PM

Travolta doesn't strike me as an attention hog who needs to be recognized and loved.

by Anonymousreply 31October 21, 2024 10:22 PM

R30 - no - apparently it was banned in a couple territories but they changed their name instead. They used and courts said it's a verified religion and is exempt from taxes, etc. in Australia.

by Anonymousreply 32October 21, 2024 10:25 PM

France and Germany don't ban them but classify them as a cult or sect and don't give them tax breaks, etc.

by Anonymousreply 33October 21, 2024 10:30 PM

It’s true, he supposedly made $9 million in a year on the royalties from the “Grease” soundtrack alone. Olivia made $12 million.
