John Travolta stepped onto the Cannes red carpet last week in the south of France with a dramatically different look, wearing a black beret, a slick new moustache and a sharply trimmed darker beard, and quickly found himself both ridiculed and applauded online as fans asked what had happened to the Hollywood star.
The 70-year-old Grease and Pulp Fiction actor has kept a relatively low profile in recent years, focusing on his children after the deaths of his son Jett in 2009 and his wife Kelly Preston in 2020. His appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, alongside daughter Ella Bleu, marked not just a return to one of cinema's most glamorous stages but also the unveiling of his directorial debut, Propeller One-Way Night Coach.
