John Travolta is in his auteur era, and he wants everyone to know it.
The 72-year-old actor is showcasing his directorial debut, Propeller One-Way Night Coach, at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, and marked the transition to the director’s chair by dressing as an old-school impresario. Travolta has been traversing various red carpets wearing a selection of jaunty berets (he had four in rotation: in black, navy blue, brown and cream) paired with thin, wire-framed spectacles and a dramatic dyed brunette beard. The images were quickly memed online, with comparisons ranging from a Guess Who? character to Ed Harris’s Christof in The Truman Show.
