Is John Travolta looking to tell all?
The actor is planning to write a book about his life, says a source, and his people have been calling publishing houses to set up meetings between the star and editors.
“Someone called and asked if I’d be interested in meeting with John Travolta,” says a source at a publishing company. “Now I have to whip out some of my old Saturday Night Fever inspired outfits.”
The source adds that it’s “highly unusual” for a star who not too long ago was reportedly earning $20 million a movie, to write about his life. “Usually, it’s the lesser stars or someone in the twilight of his career or country and western stars,” chuckles the source, who adds that it’s “unclear” whether Travolta will address those tabloid rumors that have haunted him. “He certainly has an interesting story to tell,” says the source, who says he was told “not to be surprised” if Travolta wants to write about the influence his religion, Scientology, has had on his life.
Travolta’s spokesman couldn’t be reached for comment.
