John Travolta reveals inspiration behind his distinctive Cannes Look

  • John Travolta attended the Cannes Film Festival , where he sported round glasses and various berets as an homage to old-school directors for his directorial debut.
  • His new film, Propeller One-Way Night Coach, which he wrote, directed, and co-produced, stars his 26-year-old daughter, Ella Bleu Travolta.
  • Travolta explained that his distinctive look was a deliberate choice to "play the part of a director," drawing inspiration from filmmakers of past decades.
  • During the festival, Travolta was surprised with an honorary Palme d’Or, an award he described as "beyond the Oscar."
  • Propeller One-Way Night Coach , based on Travolta's 1997 children's novel, follows a young aspiring pilot and his mother and will stream globally on Apple TV later this month.
