As a teen, John Travolta decided to drop out of high school. Looking back, given his staggering net worth of over $250 million, it is fair to say that he made the right choice.
In the '70s, the actor enjoyed a huge breakout thanks to 'Saturday Night Fever'.
The decades were up and down as the years followed, the '80s turned out to be a little rougher, while he returned to stardom in the '90s, in large part thanks to the iconic classic, 'Pulp Fiction'.
These days, we're seeing a little bit less of the star - he's a devoted family man, helping to shape the careers of his children.
However, he hasn't blocked off Hollywood completely. He has worked on a few projects in recent years, and let's just say one of them had the fans talking. Though unfortunately, it wasn't for his work, but instead, different appearance.
We'll take a look at the moment fans started to notice his changing look and what other "transformations" he has undergone during his career.
He's Still Motivated
At the age of 67, sure, making a film or TV series isn't of the utmost importance. In fact, he's spending a lot of time launching the careers of his children, like Ellen for example who is also in the business.
However, when it comes to acting, let's not get it twisted, the star is still very much motivated. He loves challenging himself and embracing different roles.
“Reinvention is what I love."
“Your average career runs about 30 years, so I’m about five years past that. Clark Gable and Cary Grant were all still doing movies at my age and older, but they generally used to stop a lot younger. Now, you’ve got Eastwood, who’s 83 and still doing movies. Things are a little different now.”
Despite the older age, John admits his goal has remained the same.
"As an actor, it’s changed nothing. You’re there to do your due diligence and give a good performance. How the industry takes that forward is really up to them, and changing times will change that, but performance is performance.”
One performance, in particular, had the fans talking. He took part in a miniseries and as it turns out, fans we're more concerned about his facial features.
Fans Noticed A Change In 'The People Vs OJ Simpson'
It was a surprise for many when John Travolta decided to take part in the 'Amercian Crime Stories: The People Vs OJ Simpson'. Travolta was very involved during the project, so much so that he even helped with the producing part behind the scenes.
"I wanted to be certain that it was going to be a multilayered message. As further assurance, executive producers Ryan Murphy and Nina Jacobson allowed me to have some participation in the production as insurance that the product would not be going in a sensationalist way, but in a way that communicated and enlightened. I never needed to assert that producer card, because everyone was so excellent in their departments.”
Unfortunately, the topic quickly changed from his performance to his look, according to many fans it was obvious, Travolta made a few changes to his facial features.
"#ThePeopleVsOJSimpson Is that John Travolta or just a terrifying botox lookalike? John, oh John. What happened man!"
"It's like Travolta's face is actually melting #ThePeopleVsOJSimpson', an observation that more than a few made including @SpringRain88: 'Travolta looks like a waxwork of himself that someone left near the radiator."
"He had obvious periorbital muscles and some wrinkling, but the job has been performed well. He is starting to look a bit like Arnie Schwarzenegger, but 'melting waxwork' seems a bit harsh!"
Given Travolta's history, getting a certain procedure done does make a lot of sense. In the past, fans and experts have noticed, he made a few noticeable changes to his looks, most which just don't take place naturally.
It Wasn't His First Procedure
'American Crime Stories' had fans talking about his changed look, however, it appears as though procedures have taken place long ago in other areas.
One has to include the actor's hair, which seems to be enjoying a weird growth spurt in the recent years. Gone is the hairline and in is the nicely groomed full head of hair.
Fans noticed the particular change between the early 2000s and 2010s. In addition, a certain lift might have also taken shape at one point.
Ultimately, it shouldn't take anything away from his career. In truth, sure, he's been working less in recent years but surely, that has a lot to do with his family, mixed in with his smashing $250 million net worth.
