Not every actor is going to love what they do when they are young, but that isn’t the case with the actor we are talking about in this article. He started acting as a teenager, and eventually would become a family man.
Unfortunately, after this actor married his wife, he would only be with her for 28 years before he would eventually lose her in death. It was a tragic moment and something that caused him to look at life differently.
Of course, we are talking about John Travolta. Not only is he known for his role in various television shows, he has been a very successful actor in the movies as well.
His father was a semi-professional football player in New Jersey and he owned a tire shop. Travolta was not interested in following such a career, but rather he decided to get involved in aviation.
In the end, he didn’t stick with the aviation industry but he did get involved as an actor when he was only 18 years old. He was known for his part in the television show Welcome Back Kotter but would leave to pursue a larger acting career.
Some of the movies that John Travolta will was known for include Grease, Look Who’s Talking, Saturday Night Fever, and Face-Off.
He met Kelly Preston in 1989 and they were married just a few years later. They lived a life together for 28 years but unfortunately, she died of breast cancer in 2020. John Travolta was devastated at the loss.
These days, he is celebrating life with his children and doing what he can to be happy. He will often share pictures of himself with his children, and we hope that his legacy continues to live for many years.
