John Travolta turned heads on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival with a stark new look. On Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!, host Peter Sagal pointed out that "A picture of John Travolta on the red carpet at Cannes went viral because of his beard and his beret, both dyed dark black." Travolta claimed the style was inspired by classic Hollywood directors, but it has quickly become the internet's latest obsession.
The Cannes appearance is just part of John Travolta's broader embrace of public eccentricity. On the same episode of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!, host Peter Sagal quizzed his panel about Travolta's recent declaration that "Men can have fun, too," which accompanied his announcement that he has started doing something new in public.
While some are fixated on his red carpet fashion, others are diving back into his filmography. On The Bill Simmons Podcast, host Bill Simmons announced that his spin-off show will be tackling the 2001 thriller Domestic Disturbance next week, pitching it as a must-watch. "John Travolta, Vince Vaughn trying to be a bad guy. A really special movie," says Bill Simmons, who is eager to revisit the thriller alongside co-star Vince Vaughn next week.
