John Travolta has been wearing beret hats for every appearance to promote his movie Propeller One-Way Night Coach and now he’s explaining why he adopted the look.
The 72-year-old actor opened up while attending the Los Angeles premiere of the movie on Thursday (May 28).
John, who directed the movie, was joined at the event by his daughter Ella Bleu Travolta, who stars in the movie, plus actors Clark Shotwell, Kelly Eviston-Quinnett, Olga Hoffmann, Alina Rose Armstrong, and Edouard Philipponnat.
John Travolta says he owns 12 berets now
John told Variety that he owns 12 berets.
“The beret has been around for 800 years,” he said. “You know, the military — it’s an old school thing. I looked at all the photographs of me for 50 years and I can’t tell you the difference. I started to not be able to differentiate and I said ‘well, you’re not an actor really.’ So I looked up all the old school directors and they all had berets and sometimes glasses and it was very it was cliché but in a wonderful way — they were probably reflecting painters and musicians of the type.”
John wants to have fun with fashion.
“Guys don’t have enough to do,” he added. “They’re putting men in skirts because there’s a lack of something there…why not change it up? We can have fun too.”
What is Propeller One-Way Night Coach about?
Ella stars in the movie while John provides the narration and appears in it as the older version of the main character.
Set in the golden age of aviation, a young airplane enthusiast, Jeff (Clark Shotwell), and his mother (Kelly Eviston-Quinnett) set off on a one-way cross-country odyssey to Hollywood, which transforms a simple flight into the trip of a lifetime. Between airline meals, charming flight attendants (Ella Bleu Travolta and Olga Hoffmann), unexpected stopovers, larger-than-life passengers and a thrilling glimpse at first class, the journey unfolds in moments both magical and unexpected, charting the course for the boy’s future.
The movie is now streaming on Apple TV.
Ella is the daughter of John and his late wife, Kelly Preston. She passed away at the age of 57 in 2020, two years after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
