John Travolta reveals he didn\u2019t know he was getting Cannes\u2019 Palme d\u2019Or<\/p>\n
Speaking with Jimmy Fallon, Travolta<\/a> shared that the recognition was \u201ca complete secret,\u201d explaining that even people closest to him had no clue. \u201cNo one on my team knew. No one on the Apple team knew. No one did,\u201d he said while recalling the moment.<\/p>\n According to Travolta, Cannes director Thierry Fr\u00e9maux had quietly been planning the surprise for months after seeing \u201cPropeller One-Way Night Coach.\u201d The film was Travolta\u2019s directorial debut and an Apple-backed project based on his 1997 children\u2019s book. The actor explained that Fr\u00e9maux accepted the film unusually early, nearly five months before the festival. In fact, the latter had hinted at making it \u201ca very special night.\u201d<\/p>\n Still, Travolta believed the special treatment was in connection with the film screening. \u201cI was happy just to be there. I didn\u2019t expect this at all,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The surprise honor came ahead of the world premiere of \u201cPropeller One-Way Night Coach\u201d, which Travolta has described as the \u201cmost personal film\u201d of his career. At Cannes, he became emotional while accepting the award and told the audience, \u201cThis is beyond the Oscar,\u201d adding in French, \u201cThis is the last thing I expected.\u201d<\/p>\n The actor has made memorable appearances in \u201cPulp Fiction\u201d, \u201cGrease\u201d, and \u201cSaturday Night Fever.\u201d During the interaction, he reflected on his family\u2019s influence. Travolta said the deeply personal project represents his roots and childhood dreams. For Travolta, the recognition was more than an award. It became a moment he never saw coming.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Samridhi Goel on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n The post John Travolta Had No Clue He Was Winning Cannes\u2019 Highest Honor<\/a> appeared first on Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"John Travolta received one of the biggest surprises of his career at the Cannes Film Festival.
