Absolutely they get slaves for free that to do all their chores and get pampered at every level. You need a strong character to withstand and see were it leads. It's like giving you poison in small dosage. Some realize early on but for a lot it's too late either by self delusion ( Travolta) or blackmail.
Sounds awful. There’s a massive hierarchy. You get to the top by being 100% loyal and a back stabber. If you don’t divulge information on each other you are punished.
Exactly. It's sad about Travolta & Cruise. Numerous people will no longer pay to see a Cruise movie either because they know that a lot of that money will no doubt be funneled to that dangerous cult.
How can anyone be so down to earth and still smoke cigarettes or be morbidly obese, both very dangerous and possibly deadly? Everyone has their own way of doin' a thing, ya know?
Huge credit to Jonathan Ross for asking the questions we wanted to ask and yet keeping the show light and moving. What he’s doing here is a tightrope walk and he’s damn good at it. He was hugely criticized for earning large sums but here we are, decades later, still consuming this content. He really was great at that job.
I met John many years ago at the Scientology complex in Fl. We were hanging out at the coffee bar, smoking cigars, and having a coffee. What a nice guy. Since then I left Scientology. I hope that he does the same.
hey, good for you. I mean that. I'm not memeing. leaving the 'church' of Scientology -- good for you. I believe in everything that that was absolutely the right choice. and it probably wasn't easy. they're tricky, they are. -cults- churches can be really difficult to leave, even when you know you should.
Same. Not at Scientology but just from working in LA. Nice guy. Tom Cruise is another one that will take forever to greet every person there and engage in appreciative banter Met Cruise a ton of times Theyre both gentlemen in my book I dont care about the rest of the issues
Funny how I’ve never heard about Scientologists lending a helping hand during natural disasters, like Travolta says. 5 months later: I didn’t know I’d start a tiny war. I have nothing against JT and if he’s flown these missions of mercy, I’m sorry for questioning it. I thought it’d be big news we’d have all heard about it. I may have judged him because of my aversion to Scientology and I regret thinking of him only in that light (or dark maybe). He’s apparently a good generous soul despite his religious choices, Scientology, which I do not consider a religion, but a cult. Needless to say, I never wanted to cast aspersions on him in particular, only on Scientology.
SCIENTOLOGY is a multi level market scam that trafficks underage children. Their auditing ( interrogations on a "low voltage lie detector) not only uses children to audit but has them asking adults age inappropriate sexual questions. There is also plenty of child slave labor, false imprisonment ,lack of an education and exposure to pedo. phile s because SCIENTOLOGY does in house justice and doesn't ever report crimes to cops unless it is about someone against Scientology. Children are usually given over by their parents who relinquish guardianship. It's a cult.
Lisa remini has explained on her show series how they are shown videos of scientologist going around the world, helping out in disasters. But she has discover that will they do his hand out their flyers. - literally. They have Scientology buildings around the world on numerous properties that are totally incompletely empty and devoid of any activity whatsoever.
I live in Clearwater near the HQ. A couple of years ago everyone was out power, no ice etc. Scientology said they were helping so many. Lemme tell you all their buildings were locked down and not 1 seen anywhere. Not helping anyone.
his experience is so different because of his status. they collect dirt on everyone in "auditing" sessions where they have to confess everything to use as blackmail if someone tries to leave. then they try to ruin your life in so many ways which includes stalking, sabotaging things like jobs, harassment. even heard about a man who escaped but they actually ran him off the road
He also doesn't know what he's talking about when he says birth is painfull for the baby. The fetal brain is awash in a cocktail of around 8 naturally occurring chemicals that keep the fetus sedated and anaesthetized during the birth process. Without these chemicals. the birth would be excruciating. During birth, the uterine muscles squeeze the fetal head so hard that the unfused skull bones sublate (one is pushed down underneath the other) so as to make the head small enough to fit through the canal. You can see hundreds (if not thousands) of videos on RUclips of homebirths showing that the newborn is completely silent during this process. It is sedated. Traditionally, midwives and doctors would slap the newborn in order to make it start breathing.
I met John years ago at Gleneagles Scotland, in the hotel foyer. He noticed that I recognised him and actually walked over to me shook my hand and said hello and had a brief chat. He's a big guy, and a genuine gentleman.
You think celebrity will come to someone just because someone notices them? Oh no girl. He scamed you literally trying to see if you are a good fit for scientology cult. It surprises me though that he didn´t ask you to join for free..
@@Babydaxanddollieshow right you are. I had one minute to make a judgement on him, and mine was good. He was on holiday, not at a film premier. No entourage and no one swooning over him, he just came across as a laid back and friendly guy.
@harlcc261 im sure people were surprised at the first Christians or muslims aswell. Its human nature. Takes a lot of time before we accept nonsense.. unless its physically forced on you. Then you accept things straight away
I'm not a scientologist but I've met and worked with JT for many years and regardless of his religious beliefs I'll tell you he's an absolutely lovely genuine guy.
I'm sure he is but surely at some stage after being asked so many questions and more importantly hearing so many testimonials on all the abuse, especially of one's who grew up as scientologists he should realise the reality. It's not like he doesn't have access to the internet unlike non celebrities so I find it quite hard to understand how he can still be involved. I can't help but think how much help he could be if he turned against the church.
The person who is giving birth is not obligated to be silent. Silent refers to not having a lot of people screaming and shouting during the birth. The mother is to be supported and helped in whatever ways she decides she needs and she wants. @arribaficationwineho32
@@ellebelle4094yes, so true. As a home birthing midwife, many women birth gently and quietly. Others become more primal and noisy, but as John was saying it's not the noise, it's the words/intention. I've been with very frightened women who have screamed and cursed their babies into the world- it's complex. Maybe if their own lives were less difficult they might have had a different experience.
@@maryhall3722 Thank you. It makes sense, doesn't it? And so many mother's just have an instinct that quiet is better. Less chaos the better mom and baby can focus on getting the birth completed with the most calm possible. Seems most women also now try to go without the pain intervention if they can. My cousin decided that unless the pain was greater than her menstrual cramps, she was not going to have any pain meds. She did both her kids that way successfully. Hats off to the moms, midwives, and all around who keep it peaceful as possible.
I’m 76 & loved watching “Welcome Back Kotter” he was so cute & so talented ! He sings, fabulous dancer, does comedy & drama,flies planes, great as a villain, is kind & down to earth, & a wonderful husband & father! Of course, at this writing, he has now lost his lovely wife, & is being the best father to his daughter & young son. He is so admired!🙏🏼💕😊
My sister was an extra for Face Off. Apparently he was the nicest and most approachable person on set. She said the other celebrities seemed to have protective bubbles around them to keep meremortals from speaking to them (which I do understand for practical reasons) but not him. He spoke to her (briefly but still) and posed for a picture with her. She’s got it framed by her bed to this day 😊.
I like John Travolta; he seems very sympathetic. He certainly has had his share of difficulties to overcome, and fighting his personal struggles has made him humble and reasonable. Yes, I like this man.
A very measured man Mr Travolta. Never loses control on what he says because he can just switch to a character in his head. Some little no verbal at times, but seems like a decent guy... whoever he is.
My daughter saw him out at dinner a few weeks ago. She was having a "silent " moment. Screaming inside "that is freaking John Travolta". Her bf said let the man eat. 😊
Her boyfriend was right 😋 . Also right is the fact that he was RIGHTFULLY JELAOUS of the interest and fascination he stired in her. Also, as her mother (i pressume from the name) you DUTY is to teach her (besides cooking,sawing,embroidering etc) HOW to PROPERLY behave with her boy and man 😉 . Core to that behavior is the fact that when a man, but ESPECIALY A BOY (emotions are STRONGEST în early adolescence, then decress after 18 years) loves you, he does it with his whole heart and soul and that there is no surrest way to COMPLETELY DESTROY HIM MENTALY AND EMOTIONALY and his self worth and esteem, than to show not only interest but fascination in other, ESPECIALY with one he feels he can't compete, in front of him 😉 . Another thing to teach her is that a girl's DUTY for her boy/man besides homemaking and love making is to make him THE MOST SPECIAL ÎN THE WORLD . You see, love and love making transforms a BOY in to a MAN !!! The true, unwavering love of a GENTLE GIRL makes that boy to feel that the world is his, that he can do and acomplish ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING and makes him WANT TO TAKE RESPONSABILITY FOR HER, HER LIFE, SAFETY, WELLBEEING AND HAPPINESS TO GIVE HER THE WORLD. This sentiments are also raised and enhanced by love making. That is why virginity and the PURITY (fizical, spiritual but MOST IMPORTANT BY FAR emoțional one) is SOOO important for girls and so DESTRUCTIVE for boys. Virginity is like a cap that keeps the goodness and gentleness in, after You go though a brake-up , meet cinical and bad people în life your left with scara, and that is wht bots are toughen since a young age to create a protective outer shell fit then and their virgin girls, so they don't need to WORK and expose themselves to bad situations and people. That is why since 14 boys need to Be teached love making by an older GIRL or woman and Most girls need to stay PURE VIRGINS . Its for the health and betterness of society and family unit 😇😊😁😘😍 !!!
@@motanelustelistuSo your essentially saying cougars needs access to young men 😂 I completely agree with the rest of it though. Every time a woman loves a man she leaves a part of herself behind with him.
@@AxelOlsson-ks2gu Yeah. It's an interesting thing: it turns out that the day you watch a video isn't necessarily when the video was recorded! It's crazy. I'm know.
I love how Jonathan celebrates Johns successes such as having planes and being able to fly etc. rather than being intimidated and jealous. Man celebrating other man’s successes - I love it ❤
I wonder if JT is still flying his private planes in today’s global climate emergency and if he ever reflects on his personal astronomical carbon footprint. The time has come to ban private planes worldwide. Let’s all stop flying. The party is over.
@@helenobrien1664this world will chew us up and spit us out. After were gone trust me it will probably heal itself in a few years. All were doing is f*cking ourselves anyways making human life shorter which I'm personally fine with cuz we're fckng gross

How does it feel knowing I have more property than you in your native country and am even more qualified? I can even have fun conversations with more than 3 people outside while you complain about the good ole days on youtube
Adorable! John Travolta was my first true poster crush in the mid 1970s! And, after seeing this interview with him I realize he’s just adorable inside and out! And I’ll always have a crush on him as he’s so full of joy, light and love for life!
@@deborl7278 Funny that, my mum said he's grown into his looks. Sorry we are English. I just wish he wasn't into this nasty cult. I was a a punkish kid. But I do appreciate his vibe in films. I liked the Fonz.
John was such a part of my teenage years with Welcome Back Kotter, Saturday Night Fever, and Grease. Everyone had the SNF album at every basement party
Mine too! I was fortunate to meet him in Pacoima Calif back in the day when he was on set with Lily Tomlin filming Moment by Moment ( not memorable) and he signed autographs and was super down to earth and nice to me and my sisters.
Okay...? That timestamp just shows Ross talking and Travolta sitting normally. He looked way, way, way more uncomfortable when his face was complimented repeatedly.
I like that British journalists and television hosts ask questions that Americans wouldn't dare. It's very sad that his son and wife have passed. That being said I wish he would go on Graham Norton's show and just spill the tea (if you know what I mean)
Yes, as a Brit we love asking outrageous questions. What would have been funny was Mrs Merton (a much missed british female comedienne) asking impertinent personal questions😅😅😅😅😅
Us English are a bit weird aren't we. Having said that, I'm English and and I always felt weird in England. There are squares everywhere. Well, there's always a nice cup of tea (and a biscuit).
I'm always amazed at how bursting with life & energy British talk shows are. They make US & Canadian shows seem like everyone's sedated. It's relaxed & interesting & it also sparks a creative edge in guests. They come off far more interesting. Travolta's career in dancing & acting now strikes me as very accomplished. And also what comes through is the humor, the witty repartee. This was the first time I've seen scientology represented with some dignity. Great interview! Loved the spontaneous dancing close.
Scientology and dignity? Show me 1 news article, not sponsored by Scientology that has anyone saying "Thank God the scientologists came to help!". They believe jets dropped aliens into a volcano and the alien souls are what our bodies are made of. They, of course don't find this out until they've sunken $500k+ into the cult. Iv refuse to call it a church, that's blasphemous to God, and anyone who isn't into slave labor camps. Drive by your local scientology building. Look how empty it is. No one's there. No one joins, it's people born into it and trapped. The Godless.
I was just thinking how British talk shows are even more annoying than American and Canadian talk shows combined, and those are pretty lousy standards. I really don't know who is worse though, British hosts, or their audiences who are apparently on antidepressants and will laugh at anything that sounds even remotely cheeky. Imagine being on set with this guy asking you so many silly questions for hours or days even- it would literally be like a talk show hell.
It's called acting - on a British fund raising programme he was criticised for his crap acting and he said - "did I say I was a f**king actor" - to do these shows you clearly have to be.
I'd like to see Travolta, or any man, go through a child birth of any kind, let alone a silent one! How can they possibly know that a child through the birthing process understands words. Sounds like utter nonsense, but for the cult folks, I guess it makes sense to them. How can someone like Travolta, who seems so reasonable and humble, be so involved in a cult? If there's any saving grace, at least he's not 'in your face' about it like Cruise is.
Isn't it fascinating how each of us follows our own path? We all have our beliefs, interests, and unique perspectives that shape who we are. Travolta's involvement in that particular group might seem puzzling to some, but it's essential to remember that we can't fully understand someone else's journey or the reasons behind their choices. Just as we appreciate Travolta's acting talents on the big screen, let's also respect his right to explore his spiritual side in his own way. It's a reminder that none of us truly have all the answers, and that's what makes the tapestry of humanity so beautifully diverse. 🌟 So, here's to understanding, tolerance, and embracing the wonderful complexity that makes us who we are.
@@tchrisou812 It's a lovely sentiment and one that the cult of Scientology doesn't follow at all. If they gave that much concern to their followers, they wouldn't be harassed and disconnected from their families if they make the choice to leave (a choice they should be perfectly free to make with no consequence). Scientology is the antithesis of tolerance.
Travolta looks the other way with the child abuse, child labor laws & corruption of a global crime organization. The cult knows his secrets, he will never leave while still alive.
@@tchrisou812Are you kidding me? You can’t honestly be defending someone in Scientology. Do you know anything about how criminal and corrupt they are? There’s no excuse for being a part of that cult. I encourage you to do your research into Scientology, then come back and try to preach your “understanding, tolerance and embracement” of someone’s involvement in Scientology. Seriously, it’s disgusting.
@@tchrisou812 You know how foolish you sound? How many organizations, activities, or movements like Scientology have the same kind of organizations (including celebrities) trying to bring it down? How 'fascinating' it is that you can sound so nice but idiotic at the same time!!
still got it. say what you will, many have, but John Travolta's still got those moves, man. that's good to see. a real, easy confidence in those steps. it's beautiful to watch. wish I could do it.
2007, Way before he lost his wife Kelly Preston and his best friend Kirstie Alley. His son Jett passed in 2009. Hes been through so much since this interview its heartbreaking. You can see how much happier he is here.
But doesn't he technically believe they are like angels or some shit.. Immortal.. So as far as hes concerned he will see them when he passes.. Not making light of his loss, but scientology is a parasite on our society just as much as any other cult. L Ron just figured out how to run a legit cult pretty much.
Every woman going through birth goes through a lot sometimes going through the entire process and losing the baby. I wish a man, who can NEVER imagine what it's like, would tell me not t make a sound during childbirth, I would shove a bowling ball down the entrance of their pp. Happy...lol...I bet he's happy all right.
Thanks for this great interview. Jonathan you're an awesome interviewer/host: funny and bold. Thanks for bringing out Travolta's humanity. Love you both! 🌈
He is a very underrated actor. He dominates the screen in any film he is in. He was in a Super Bowl Commercial with some other guys. He dominated that, and the commercial was entertaining.
Not to mention the 2011 Golden Globes when Gervais made the joke about 2 famous Hollywood Scientologists who were in the closet. I’m sure Travolta was well aware of the crack.
Maybe not struggling so much as keeping his politeness intact. Ross was irritating and trying to keep the spotlight on himself, but people tuned in to see and hear Travolta. Also, Ross said something about his wife (which I couldn't get because of the accent and John cutting him off by showing his irritation). Good for John. It shut Ross up.
Calm and relaxed 😂 more like dry and Exempt of any sense of humour, this one's ego is so huge he's sees you as parasitical all freemasons do, and his wife and son were sacrificed john is gay he's been caught so many times with their secret handshakes pay attention even Jonathan is one
I think like most Americans - he was totally put off by the cheeky disco vibe of the talk show, and likely completely annoyed by the host's badgering of personal questions and silly attempts at humor. Why try to act funny when you're obviously not? Why not just relax and act like you would if a guest came to your home? I think Travolta would be much more comfortable if this guy was just more real instead of acting like a puppet robot for the corporate financed audience.
That was so brilliant, John Travolta is such a wonderful actor..... Ricky Gervais brilliant too, I never used to like him, but what he does for the animals is great x
John Travolta, came across so well it was a treat to see him. He has weathered so many storms in his life and I’m so glad that he has come through the other side. Fly safe.
Those sub religions takes what they can get hold on of celebrities, in order to lure others in to the dungeon hole of idiocrazy. Then the celeb gets to involved and stayes there. But a smart celeb like Travolta would never have got involved later on in life. He is just trapped. Sad.
its funny how everytime tom cruise or John get asked about Scientology they get all tense. If it was so great they would be proud to talk in public and not just behind closed doors lol
Leah Remini and Mike Rinder both said John Travolta is actually a nice and sweet man. They didn't say the same about Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise is much more involved in Scientology and best friends with David Miscavige, the psychopath leader of the cult. They said they are like soulmates, evil twins. Travolta just seems totally brainwashed by the cult and doesn't want to hear anything negative about it, which is sad.
John Travolta is very cool, when he started the Saturday Night Fever dance, it transported me back to that film, and wanted to watch it all over again.
As one of the most horrific organizations (cults) in America, the question to ask was……”does the church of Scientology pay you for your endorsements”??
I'm amazed that Hollywood celebs are so chill about having their own private planes and even private airstrips and yet they don't get called out about their carbon footprint
@CS-ol7wo is that so true? Celebrities will fly everywhere in their private jets to protest climate change and tell the rest of us to walk. Leonardo DiCaprio and Jane Fonda both flew up by private jets and rented helicopters to fly over Ft McMurray Alberta, when I lived there, to protest oil and the use of fossil fuels… The oil sands are the biggest natural oil spill in the world. Explorer’s found oil slicks on the rivers there and oil coming up through the ground. Unusable land is being cleaned up and now has trees and grass growing on it. It’s not “Dirty Oil” from there. Middle East oil is full of human rights atrocities. Celebrities lie all day long. Why do people listen?
This was one of the, if not THE, best celebrity interviews I've ever seen. The questions were excellent, John Travolta was receptive and gave interesting answers, and I learned something about Scientology that seemed reasonable and not crazy. Because, yes, specific words can be very hurtful. And the dancing at the end was the best bonus EVER! Although Ricky can move, John Travolta is such a fine dancer. I hadn't seen him dance since I was younger, and forgot how truly good he is. Congratulations on a celebrity interview well worth watching‼️🥰❤️👍
John Travolta is clearly not interested in the night show's kind of meaningless blabbering, but he manages to simultaneously refrain from a small talk and stay respectful to Jonathan and the audience and not being irritated prima donna. Very classy! John might not be an "elite" actor (only a few dozens were) but he certainly brought some of the most charismatic and memorable performances in the history of Hollywood - Danny Zuko, Tony Manero, Blow Out's Jack, Vincent Vega, Robert Shapiro. Such a shame that this warm and good-hearted man went through so many tragic family events.
Yes he's very enigmatic and hard to read. His reserve could be wishing to show humility in reaction to Ross' hyped characterisation of his life, or because he can't talk honestly about Scientology because its out there and either misunderstood/misrepresented or hard to defend, yet he has a very sincere vibe and an apparent integrity about him
Ross’s show was always silly juvenile humour. Usually guests just laugh along. He sometimes went too far coming on to the ladies making them uncomfortable
There’s a lot of good things in the teaching of Scientology, like the Path to Happiness film. Some of it helps people educate themselves about different topics and become better people. Not a lot of idolatry or mindless prayer but the money scheme is immoral. They are hugely rich in real estate and the IRS should force them to divest, but that would apply to Catholics too. I don’t agree that they should be allowed a religious tax exemption because they don’t help anyone for free. They should not treat their ex-members like crap and force people to “disconnect “ from nonbelievers, that is hateful. Their beliefs about aliens is no worse than traditional religious beliefs but still nuts.
Yes, he is very gracious and if you listened to him, John said Scientology helps him to help people. He didn't say no ONCE & NO negativity---like your comment about his adult choice about his religion. I bet people think your religion is ludicrous...some people do. Why so judgy???
@@Chris-Data_Analyst Symbolic language is not actually nuts. Nor were our ancient ancestors superstitious simpletons. Some of the ways ancient books have been interpreted is pretty nuts though.
In the early 1970’s I saw the traveling company of “Grease” at the wonderful Fisher Theatre in Detroit, a large and beautiful theatre. Years later when going through my belongings in preparation for a move to a new house I came across the old Playbill for Grease. I read it and discovered that John Travolta had a small part which I never realized. I would not have known his name in the early 70’s. This was before his movie career and before he headlined the movie version of Grease. His sister, Ann Travolta, was also in the cast. Anyway, my point is John Travolta really knows how to dance, he was a genuine “Broadway hoofer”.
Trust men to insist that births be silent. Trust Scientologists to white-wash the truth about what they actually stand for and the horrendous harassment they inflict on others. Do your homework.
Both men and women Scientologists understand why no verbal communication should be uttered at birth (or any situation of physical or mental pain). Cries of pain are totally expected of course... however verbal communication is best avoided because verbal communication in times of extreme physical or emotional pain can impinge on the partially unconscious mind (similar to hypnosis)... Many issues of anxiety or abberated behavior in life can be attributed to these 'impinged verbal statements'. To fully understand this better that you read Dianetics. In addition, I am also not sure what you mean when you say Scientologists 'white wash the truth'... what white washed 'truths' are you talking about... do you have actual examples of 'horrendous harassment they inflict on others'... and I don't mean the 'money making documentaries' that that are scattered around the internet... I mean actual court cases won against Scientology, please.
this person does know more about scientology than the other comments. I would rather hear comments from someone educated on a subject. Not just a " yes or no bro "
I don't think you really listened to what was said properly. The silence is for the other people who are surrounded by a person who is in pain. He said if the mother has to scream, no problem.
For God's sake I has 5 deliveries none easy and didn't feel the need to scream for any of them...just bite on a flannel...I think peace and calm birth is better...nothing to do with religion etc..just common sense really.
I have close friends that are part of the Scientology and they are one of the most kind, humble and caring people i have met in my life. Always ready to help. In my opinion action defines a person not their choice of religion.
Even a lot of people who have left Scientology have stated that John Travolta is a sweetheart, so he’s probably a good person. He’s just caught up in some thing he doesn’t feel he can leave.
Regardless of one’s personal feelings about John Travolta, he must be doing something right. Unlike several of his contemporaries of the 70’s and 80’s whose lives ended tragically from substance abuse and suicide, Travolta at age 69 is still alive and well. May he live to be 100.
....I am amazed at how threatened so many people are by his religious beliefs. Same with Tom Cruise, yet both of these guys by all accounts are exceptional people. People imagine all kinds of nonsence in their own minds.
@@cspace1234nzPeople are suspicious of the harm caused daily by this huge cult, quite rightly. It's not a benign one. Lots of people are routinely harmed by it, and especially if they leave.
@@cspace1234nz there’s no imagining about their religious beliefs. Scientology is a dangerous cult disguised as a self help religion. All it does is bank information it can use against you, require you to pay tens of thousands of dollars to do it, and threaten to release that information should you want to leave or expose the mental and physical abuses people endure from their superiors, the kidnappings that occur (John’s former actress friend and ex Scientologist has spoken out about how he basically ignored her cries for help when she was held hostage and kept from her dying daughter and wouldn’t help her escape) and the fact that they then they engage in stalking and harassment when you do speak out against them. Literally going through exScientologists’ mail and having utilities turn off or important things canceled without their consent. And that’s not even mentioning the heinous abuses children endured when forced away from their parents-abuses being mentally, physically, and s*xually. These are open and well known within the cult, particularly the high ranking officers. This is straight from ex-Scientologists’ mouths and personal experiences.
@@cspace1234nz Scientology is very mysterious and secretive - I've never researched it but it seems very enigmatic, and like the "children of God" cult has ties to a disproportionate number of Hollywood celebrities. The way Scientology has been under fire for so long as well makes it hard to read, though since it's tied to Hollywood power and is secretive you'd assume somethings not right, yet Travolta seems like a sincere person. Maybe they're forced into it? That would explain the atmosphere around it - I'll stop speculating and do some research!!

John Travolta's (and Cruise's) experience with Scientology is a whole lot different than a non-celebrity.
Absolutely they get slaves for free that to do all their chores and get pampered at every level. You need a strong character to withstand and see were it leads. It's like giving you poison in small dosage. Some realize early on but for a lot it's too late either by self delusion ( Travolta) or blackmail.
Sounds awful. There’s a massive hierarchy. You get to the top by being 100% loyal and a back stabber. If you don’t divulge information on each other you are punished.

There is no path out for him, at this point. Scientology owns him.
I think Scientology appeals to people who don't like being labelled insane after suffering traumatic loss.
Yeah I was sat with Tom Cruise the other day having a beer.
Funny how I’ve never heard about Scientologists lending a helping hand during natural disasters, like Travolta says.

I didn’t know I’d start a tiny war. I have nothing against JT and if he’s flown these missions of mercy, I’m sorry for questioning it. I thought it’d be big news we’d have all heard about it.
I may have judged him because of my aversion to Scientology and I regret thinking of him only in that light (or dark maybe).
He’s apparently a good generous soul despite his religious choices, Scientology, which I do not consider a religion, but a cult.
Needless to say, I never wanted to cast aspersions on him in particular, only on Scientology.
I know, right?
Exactly Scientologists have never ever lent a helping hand in natural disasters....
Yeah, I never heard of them helping with ANYTHING.
They dont
Why would you have heard about this?
Interesting how he crosses his arms when talking about scientology but is completely comfortable all other times.
I noticed that too. Our body language speaks even when we are a highly trained actor.
SCIENTOLOGY is a multi level market scam that trafficks underage children. Their auditing ( interrogations on a "low voltage lie detector) not only uses children to audit but has them asking adults age inappropriate sexual questions. There is also plenty of child slave labor, false imprisonment ,lack of an education and exposure to pedo. phile s because SCIENTOLOGY does in house justice and doesn't ever report crimes to cops unless it is about someone against Scientology. Children are usually given over by their parents who relinquish guardianship. It's a cult.
It's a defense mechanism
Acting mode activated 😂😂😂
could be too many "attacks" on that front... perhaps. but yes was a clear reaction. I like how he talks anyways.
I met John Travolta in 2010. He was polite and down to earth - a lovely gentleman.
And those eyes...
When a Scientologist says “we help so many people”, I wish the interviewer would ask WHO exactly have you helped?
Lisa remini has explained on her show series how they are shown videos of scientologist going around the world, helping out in disasters. But she has discover that will they do his hand out their flyers. - literally.
They have Scientology buildings around the world on numerous properties that are totally incompletely empty and devoid of any activity whatsoever.
Right
I live in Clearwater near the HQ. A couple of years ago everyone was out power, no ice etc. Scientology said they were helping so many. Lemme tell you all their buildings were locked down and not 1 seen anywhere. Not helping anyone.
Yes, & just how are they saving the world ?
his experience is so different because of his status. they collect dirt on everyone in "auditing" sessions where they have to confess everything to use as blackmail if someone tries to leave. then they try to ruin your life in so many ways which includes stalking, sabotaging things like jobs, harassment. even heard about a man who escaped but they actually ran him off the road
That save by Ricky on the prenup question...brilliant
John Travolta is an actor. He knows what to say and do to come across as being normal.
He also doesn't know what he's talking about when he says birth is painfull for the baby. The fetal brain is awash in a cocktail of around 8 naturally occurring chemicals that keep the fetus sedated and anaesthetized during the birth process. Without these chemicals. the birth would be excruciating. During birth, the uterine muscles squeeze the fetal head so hard that the unfused skull bones sublate (one is pushed down underneath the other) so as to make the head small enough to fit through the canal. You can see hundreds (if not thousands) of videos on RUclips of homebirths showing that the newborn is completely silent during this process. It is sedated. Traditionally, midwives and doctors would slap the newborn in order to make it start breathing.
You lost most of us calling it a "fetus" Im not believing such b.s. in your unwanted thesis. @@pirbird14
@harmonysummerI thought he was tired or maybe annoyed by the questions and words
An actor gets a script, reads it and memorise it.
They aren't trained to make a conversation
Whats normal? I'm still trying to work that one out?
Very talented actor singer dancer. He's the whole package he's also dealt with a lot of sadness and grief in his life
Yes he sure has. Everyone has their cross to bare I guess 👍
I met John years ago at Gleneagles Scotland, in the hotel foyer. He noticed that I recognised him and actually walked over to me shook my hand and said hello and had a brief chat. He's a big guy, and a genuine gentleman.
He's 6ft even, you hobbit 😄
@@Talisman09😆 I'm 6'1 but he seemed taller than me, and pretty solid too.
You think celebrity will come to someone just because someone notices them? Oh no girl. He scamed you literally trying to see if you are a good fit for scientology cult. It surprises me though that he didn´t ask you to join for free..
Shaking the hand of a fan, one of the people that contributes to his wealth does not a gentleman make 😅
@@Babydaxanddollieshow right you are. I had one minute to make a judgement on him, and mine was good. He was on holiday, not at a film premier. No entourage and no one swooning over him, he just came across as a laid back and friendly guy.
Ricky Gervais and John Travolta explaining scientology ... if that's not a recipe for disaster I don't know what is 😂
😂
Ross didn't actually ask Ricky for his opinion because we all know how that would've gone down.
Damn, that body language at the beginning. Palm on his face, leaning on his elbow. He's thinking "why the fuck did I agree to this?!"
Could just be he said he was there for a long day
He started warming up but did seem slightly annoyed 😂
Well he said he’s been there like 17hrs n he’s starving
The couch that looks like a concrete bench probably wasn’t helping.
😂😂😂 Jonathan Ross is so funnyb
Nothing like a man explaining the pain behind childbirth
Seriously
What arrogance 😮
I only clicked on this video to listen to what two men thought about giving birth. Just as I thought...clueless. 😊
@debrap947 it's cute they think they can weigh in, it seems to be a trend lately.
@@Weirtoe Ikr!
How is saying the baby and the mother experience pain during birth somehow wrong for a man to say? Is he wrong? Please do tell us.
I can't believe John Travolta lends his soul to the Cult of Scientology. Unbelievable.
No faith is real. Im sure whenever the faiths you deem acceptable first came about others felt the same
@@navjitbassi03 Didn't say faith wasn't real. Just surprised he picked Scientology
@harlcc261 im sure people were surprised at the first Christians or muslims aswell. Its human nature. Takes a lot of time before we accept nonsense.. unless its physically forced on you. Then you accept things straight away
@@harlcc261 The exile does not choose his Babylon
He's not just a Scientolog-ist...he's another -ist too 👹
John's still got the dancing skills!
I thought a silent birth was having a kid off the grid without the government knowing about it 😂
😂
😂😂😂❤
No that’s ‘’hidden birth’ 🫣😁
No, it means don’t bother men with your birthing pain
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm not a scientologist but I've met and worked with JT for many years and regardless of his religious beliefs I'll tell you he's an absolutely lovely genuine guy.
I'm sure he is but surely at some stage after being asked so many questions and more importantly hearing so many testimonials on all the abuse, especially of one's who grew up as scientologists he should realise the reality. It's not like he doesn't have access to the internet unlike non celebrities so I find it quite hard to understand how he can still be involved.
I can't help but think how much help he could be if he turned against the church.
@@neatznotso7424❤tt up😂
All about money and power…
@@neatznotso7424he’s held as a god within the church
Yea and I drink with the pope on weekends…. 🙄
I don't recall John Travolta ever giving birth.
He has three children and is the type of man to be with the mother of his child when she gives birth.
@@tm13tubewas she silent?
Rumours claim hes getting pumped enough . Scientology may give us a 2024 version of Look Who's Talking
@@arribaficationwineho32His (now deceased) wife was a hardcore Scientologist, so I assume she did.
The person who is giving birth is not obligated to be silent. Silent refers to not having a lot of people screaming and shouting during the birth. The mother is to be supported and helped in whatever ways she decides she needs and she wants. @arribaficationwineho32
Silent birth WTF? A man telling you its ok???? Love you Johnny but once u've gone thru a silent birth yourself, we'll talk again😂😂
Silent birth for me makes birth so much easier. More calm. ❤
You totally misunderstood what he was saying. And, yes, the surroundings should be quiet and calm for baby and mother as they go thru the experience.
@@ellebelle4094yes, so true. As a home birthing midwife, many women birth gently and quietly. Others become more primal and noisy, but as John was saying it's not the noise, it's the words/intention.
I've been with very frightened women who have screamed and cursed their babies into the world- it's complex. Maybe if their own lives were less difficult they might have had a different experience.
@@maryhall3722 Thank you. It makes sense, doesn't it? And so many mother's just have an instinct that quiet is better. Less chaos the better mom and baby can focus on getting the birth completed with the most calm possible. Seems most women also now try to go without the pain intervention if they can. My cousin decided that unless the pain was greater than her menstrual cramps, she was not going to have any pain meds. She did both her kids that way successfully. Hats off to the moms, midwives, and all around who keep it peaceful as possible.
@@maryhall3722that’s a very pertinent point - thanks for sharing your experience.
I love Jonathan Ross,the perfect interviewer!! I love the way he can turn around awkward moments!
He flippin makes the interviews awkward
I love how Ricky Gervais saves Travolta from the rude prenup question. He diffused it really well. Got to love Ricky
Ricky's a beautiful soul❣️
My gosh yes , well spotted . Your right , such a clever spark is our Ricky
The entertainment world has been blessed with Ricky.
arsekissing for future movie?
Ricky is a hypocrite.
I’m 76 & loved watching “Welcome Back Kotter” he was so cute & so talented ! He sings, fabulous dancer, does comedy & drama,flies planes, great as a villain, is kind & down to earth, & a wonderful husband & father! Of course, at this writing, he has now lost his lovely wife, & is being the best father to his daughter & young son. He is so admired!🙏🏼💕😊
I’m so confused😂😂😂😂
He grew up in a lovely Italian family and had a mother who supported and encouraged him in show business.
My sister was an extra for Face Off. Apparently he was the nicest and most approachable person on set. She said the other celebrities seemed to have protective bubbles around them to keep meremortals from speaking to them (which I do understand for practical reasons) but not him. He spoke to her (briefly but still) and posed for a picture with her. She’s got it framed by her bed to this day 😊.
That's nice 🙂👍
proTECTive bubbles? :)
@@janelleanderson6744 thank you. 😊
I like John Travolta; he seems very sympathetic. He certainly has had his share of difficulties to overcome, and fighting his personal struggles has made him humble and reasonable. Yes, I like this man.
Well this man knows the cruelty at the hands of Scientology- least of all to himself but to so many many others so fuck this man.
John was very polite and patient here. You can tell he was a bit uncomfortable a few times with Jonathan's needling, but remained kind the whole time.
A very measured man Mr Travolta. Never loses control on what he says because he can just switch to a character in his head. Some little no verbal at times, but seems like a decent guy... whoever he is.
He's a sweet soul
He looked bored.
yes but John wife she die of cancer and I dont think he know
@@linaburon5672 Or was this before her death?
Love you John. Ditch the cult.
like he ditched the wig
You love some some vile people
John Travolta is still a beautiful man. May his wife and son forever RIP
How long ago was this clip made? John is bald as a coot. Must be a wig he's wearing!
Beautiful my foot with his bowling ball bald head
My daughter saw him out at dinner a few weeks ago. She was having a "silent " moment. Screaming inside "that is freaking John Travolta". Her bf said let the man eat. 😊
Her boyfriend was right 😋 . Also right is the fact that he was RIGHTFULLY JELAOUS of the interest and fascination he stired in her.
Also, as her mother (i pressume from the name) you DUTY is to teach her (besides cooking,sawing,embroidering etc) HOW to PROPERLY behave with her boy and man 😉 .
Core to that behavior is the fact that when a man, but ESPECIALY A BOY (emotions are STRONGEST în early adolescence, then decress after 18 years) loves you, he does it with his whole heart and soul and that there is no surrest way to COMPLETELY DESTROY HIM MENTALY AND EMOTIONALY and his self worth and esteem, than to show not only interest but fascination in other, ESPECIALY with one he feels he can't compete, in front of him 😉 .
Another thing to teach her is that a girl's DUTY for her boy/man besides homemaking and love making is to make him THE MOST SPECIAL ÎN THE WORLD .
You see, love and love making transforms a BOY in to a MAN !!! The true, unwavering love of a GENTLE GIRL makes that boy to feel that the world is his, that he can do and acomplish ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING and makes him WANT TO TAKE RESPONSABILITY FOR HER, HER LIFE, SAFETY, WELLBEEING AND HAPPINESS TO GIVE HER THE WORLD.
This sentiments are also raised and enhanced by love making.
That is why virginity and the PURITY (fizical, spiritual but MOST IMPORTANT BY FAR emoțional one) is SOOO important for girls and so DESTRUCTIVE for boys.
Virginity is like a cap that keeps the goodness and gentleness in, after You go though a brake-up , meet cinical and bad people în life your left with scara, and that is wht bots are toughen since a young age to create a protective outer shell fit then and their virgin girls, so they don't need to WORK and expose themselves to bad situations and people.
That is why since 14 boys need to Be teached love making by an older GIRL or woman and Most girls need to stay PURE VIRGINS .
Its for the health and betterness of society and family unit 😇😊😁😘😍 !!!
Nobody reads sermons that long .
@@motanelustelistuSo your essentially saying cougars needs access to young men 😂 I completely agree with the rest of it though. Every time a woman loves a man she leaves a part of herself behind with him.
Wow Travolta still has that magic you feel when he moves. Such a gifted dancer.
"Still"?
Well, this video clip is almost 17 years old (aired in 2007), so that might be something to bear in mind.
Cringe.
I think he can still dance. I have seen him dancing with his daughter Ella - fairly recently/ during lockdown. @@BPoweredLove
@@BPoweredLove No wonder! He's totally bald and overweight these days.
@@AxelOlsson-ks2gu Yeah. It's an interesting thing: it turns out that the day you watch a video isn't necessarily when the video was recorded! It's crazy. I'm know.
I love how Jonathan celebrates Johns successes such as having planes and being able to fly etc. rather than being intimidated and jealous. Man celebrating other man’s successes - I love it ❤
I wonder if JT is still flying his private planes in today’s global climate emergency and if he ever reflects on his personal astronomical carbon footprint. The time has come to ban private planes worldwide. Let’s all stop flying. The party is over.

That's pretty cool! Thanks for the input.
Doesn’t make up for being a Scientologist.
wow and so would I if I had a jet
And got the publicity
Thank you Ricky for doing the David Brent dance - I laughed hysterically.
Adorable! John Travolta was my first true poster crush in the mid 1970s! And, after seeing this interview with him I realize he’s just adorable inside and out! And I’ll always have a crush on him as he’s so full of joy, light and love for life!

Not your ordinary Hollywood lush for sure.
He has just literally blossomed through the years
So very handsome
@@deborl7278 Funny that, my mum said he's grown into his looks. Sorry we are English. I just wish he wasn't into this nasty cult. I was a a punkish kid. But I do appreciate his vibe in films. I liked the Fonz.

I absolutely love how excited and little boyish Jonathan Ross is in this lovely interview 😍
Jonathan seems very kid like, almost starstruck. Made me laugh so much.
Some people don't take themselves to seriously. Thankfully.
The line of questioning and Jonathan's excitement at asking the questions is so brilliant
John was such a part of my teenage years with Welcome Back Kotter, Saturday Night Fever, and Grease. Everyone had the SNF album at every basement party
😊. I could have written this about my life.
Mine too! I was fortunate to meet him in Pacoima Calif back in the day when he was on set with Lily Tomlin filming Moment by Moment ( not memorable) and he signed autographs and was super down to earth and nice to me and my sisters.
We played that album all night at my first teenage party. It was a blast. I love that soundtrack!!!!!!! One of the top 3 of all time ❤️
I just want to learn what scientology is now!😂
Oh! What a dream! I wish I could dance with John Travolta.
Oh boy, the body language speaks volumes when Scientology is mentioned 11:55 in
He did it once during the whole subject...
Right on!
I noticed that too...
@@Standingfortruth2024 yep, crosses his arms...
Okay...? That timestamp just shows Ross talking and Travolta sitting normally. He looked way, way, way more uncomfortable when his face was complimented repeatedly.
I like that British journalists and television hosts ask questions that Americans wouldn't dare. It's very sad that his son and wife have passed. That being said I wish he would go on Graham Norton's show and just spill the tea (if you know what I mean)
Do you NOT see the Backlash when they do in the U.S.? People lose jobs and are blacklisted or Canceled for a while before making a comeback.
travolta's son and wife have died?
Yes, as a Brit we love asking outrageous questions. What would have been funny was Mrs Merton (a much missed british female comedienne) asking impertinent personal questions😅😅😅😅😅
Us English are a bit weird aren't we. Having said that, I'm English and and I always felt weird in England. There are squares everywhere. Well, there's always a nice cup of tea (and a biscuit).
@@katharinlannon4061 So what attracted you to millionaire Paul Daniels then? When interviewing his hot wife. Lol.
I'm always amazed at how bursting with life & energy British talk shows are. They make US & Canadian shows seem like everyone's sedated. It's relaxed & interesting & it also sparks a creative edge in guests. They come off far more interesting. Travolta's career in dancing & acting now strikes me as very accomplished. And also what comes through is the humor, the witty repartee. This was the first time I've seen scientology represented with some dignity. Great interview! Loved the spontaneous dancing close.
Ross can be great. Craig Ferguson dominated Us chatshows imo. I never liked any of your others. Graham Norton is good but can be odd.
Travolta seems sedated here. 😂
He seems dull & a bit standoffish. But good that he managed a great work/life balance in Hollyweird.
Well that wouldn't be difficult?!
Scientology and dignity? Show me 1 news article, not sponsored by Scientology that has anyone saying "Thank God the scientologists came to help!". They believe jets dropped aliens into a volcano and the alien souls are what our bodies are made of. They, of course don't find this out until they've sunken $500k+ into the cult. Iv refuse to call it a church, that's blasphemous to God, and anyone who isn't into slave labor camps. Drive by your local scientology building. Look how empty it is. No one's there. No one joins, it's people born into it and trapped. The Godless.
I was just thinking how British talk shows are even more annoying than American and Canadian talk shows combined, and those are pretty lousy standards. I really don't know who is worse though, British hosts, or their audiences who are apparently on antidepressants and will laugh at anything that sounds even remotely cheeky. Imagine being on set with this guy asking you so many silly questions for hours or days even- it would literally be like a talk show hell.
Jonathan was like an excited kid when talking about John’s airplane.
It's called acting - on a British fund raising programme he was criticised for his crap acting and he said - "did I say I was a f**king actor" - to do these shows you clearly have to be.
I'd like to see Travolta, or any man, go through a child birth of any kind, let alone a silent one! How can they possibly know that a child through the birthing process understands words. Sounds like utter nonsense, but for the cult folks, I guess it makes sense to them. How can someone like Travolta, who seems so reasonable and humble, be so involved in a cult? If there's any saving grace, at least he's not 'in your face' about it like Cruise is.
Isn't it fascinating how each of us follows our own path? We all have our beliefs, interests, and unique perspectives that shape who we are. Travolta's involvement in that particular group might seem puzzling to some, but it's essential to remember that we can't fully understand someone else's journey or the reasons behind their choices.
Just as we appreciate Travolta's acting talents on the big screen, let's also respect his right to explore his spiritual side in his own way. It's a reminder that none of us truly have all the answers, and that's what makes the tapestry of humanity so beautifully diverse. 🌟 So, here's to understanding, tolerance, and embracing the wonderful complexity that makes us who we are.
@@tchrisou812 It's a lovely sentiment and one that the cult of Scientology doesn't follow at all. If they gave that much concern to their followers, they wouldn't be harassed and disconnected from their families if they make the choice to leave (a choice they should be perfectly free to make with no consequence). Scientology is the antithesis of tolerance.
Travolta looks the other way with the child abuse, child labor laws & corruption of a global crime organization. The cult knows his secrets, he will never leave while still alive.
@@tchrisou812Are you kidding me? You can’t honestly be defending someone in Scientology. Do you know anything about how criminal and corrupt they are? There’s no excuse for being a part of that cult. I encourage you to do your research into Scientology, then come back and try to preach your “understanding, tolerance and embracement” of someone’s involvement in Scientology. Seriously, it’s disgusting.
@@tchrisou812 You know how foolish you sound? How many organizations, activities, or movements like Scientology have the same kind of organizations (including celebrities) trying to bring it down? How 'fascinating' it is that you can sound so nice but idiotic at the same time!!
still got it. say what you will, many have, but John Travolta's still got those moves, man. that's good to see. a real, easy confidence in those steps. it's beautiful to watch. wish I could do it.
2007, Way before he lost his wife Kelly Preston and his best friend Kirstie Alley. His son Jett passed in 2009. Hes been through so much since this interview its heartbreaking. You can see how much happier he is here.
But doesn't he technically believe they are like angels or some shit.. Immortal.. So as far as hes concerned he will see them when he passes.. Not making light of his loss, but scientology is a parasite on our society just as much as any other cult. L Ron just figured out how to run a legit cult pretty much.
Every woman going through birth goes through a lot sometimes going through the entire process and losing the baby. I wish a man, who can NEVER imagine what it's like, would tell me not t make a sound during childbirth, I would shove a bowling ball down the entrance of their pp. Happy...lol...I bet he's happy all right.

12:03 for the bit about Scientology's Silent Births - You're welcome
Ricky dancing with John just made my day 😍
Jonathan Ross is an amazing interviewer. John Travolta, so modest, and his eyes.....
One knows that they are in a cult when they cannot question the leader without repercussions.
Kind of like what happens if you ask questions about Israel
Some jobs are like that - your manager is a narcissist.
I don't have didly squat but I don't begrudge John having all the things he's acquired. Lovely man and I wish him a happy life x
Whether in a movie, or an interview, or quietly eating a doughnut, JT delivers his lines well.
He is a very underrated actor. He dominates the screen in any film he is in. He was in a Super Bowl Commercial with some other guys. He dominated that, and the commercial was entertaining.
These folks seem to forget he's an actor. He's as fake as his hair.
Have you seen Grease!
"So you bought some pilots, as well?" 😂😂😂😅😅😅
Ricky Gervais is saying WHat the f*$# silent 😬😅😂
I think his face says it all.
Not to mention the 2011 Golden Globes when Gervais made the joke about 2 famous Hollywood Scientologists who were in the closet. I’m sure Travolta was well aware of the crack.
A very fine actor. Intelligent and articulate. He was struggling with Jonathan's teasing here but dealt with it like a pro
Maybe not struggling so much as keeping his politeness intact. Ross was irritating and trying to keep the spotlight on himself, but people tuned in to see and hear Travolta. Also, Ross said something about his wife (which I couldn't get because of the accent and John cutting him off by showing his irritation). Good for John. It shut Ross up.
@@ellebelle4094 You're absolutely right.
If he had Ricky's mind, he'd have given as good as he got.

In 2007
John knows very well the abuses of Scientology. The founder LRon Hubbard was a madman and in his earlier years studied the occult.
Studying the occult doesn't make you a madman.
@@Ihaveausernametoo he was a madman THAT studied the occult
And I should also say practiced it
@@LisaGayleDE occult means hidden, the invisible. Everyone who prays in any way practices the occult.
He wrote sci FI and caught on re. people's gullibility.
JT explaining scientology in much the same way my dog explains quantum mechanics
He is so relaxed and calm and chill. Very humble yet confident. I remember Kelly Preston being the same, they were a celestial match.
I think he's suffering from jet lag in this interview.
Calm and relaxed 😂 more like dry and Exempt of any sense of humour, this one's ego is so huge he's sees you as parasitical all freemasons do, and his wife and son were sacrificed john is gay he's been caught so many times with their secret handshakes pay attention even Jonathan is one
I think like most Americans - he was totally put off by the cheeky disco vibe of the talk show, and likely completely annoyed by the host's badgering of personal questions and silly attempts at humor. Why try to act funny when you're obviously not? Why not just relax and act like you would if a guest came to your home? I think Travolta would be much more comfortable if this guy was just more real instead of acting like a puppet robot for the corporate financed audience.
Didn’t the host realize that John’s wife was deceased???
@@bonnieikamas1201interview was before his wife was deceased

John Travolta, came across so well it was a treat to see him. He has weathered so many storms in his life and I’m so glad that he has come through the other side. Fly safe.
Those sub religions takes what they can get hold on of celebrities, in order to lure others in to the dungeon hole of idiocrazy.
Then the celeb gets to involved and stayes there.
But a smart celeb like Travolta would never have got involved later on in life.
He is just trapped.
Sad.
is that wig johnny wearing? gonna be.
This is not a new video ....must have been 15 year ago or even more
Yeah this was 2007
its funny how everytime tom cruise or John get asked about Scientology they get all tense. If it was so great they would be proud to talk in public and not just behind closed doors lol
Ricky Gervais and John Travolta disco dancing together is one of the great moments of television history :D
It shows how low our television history has fallen.
John looks so uncomfortable.
Yip , you can tell he thinks Ross is a prick . Just like most of us do .
Jonathan Rosss was taking over and jumping from one thing to another. It’s difficult to feel comfortable like that. He must have felt ambushed.
I thought John handled it splendidly and sure he's encountered much worse.
He handled himself so well. It can't be easy being under the microscope ❤
Not surprised since Jonathan began by more or less saying he had an ugly face
Sit him next to Tom Cruise and he seems totally sane. lol
Prob start kissing wouldn’t they?
Yep
Only if sane = doesnt jump on coucjes
Leah Remini and Mike Rinder both said John Travolta is actually a nice and sweet man. They didn't say the same about Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise is much more involved in Scientology and best friends with David Miscavige, the psychopath leader of the cult. They said they are like soulmates, evil twins. Travolta just seems totally brainwashed by the cult and doesn't want to hear anything negative about it, which is sad.
True 😂
You can never embarrass Mr Travolta.
Gee whiz! Thanks for permission to scream during labor. 😂
John Travolta is very cool, when he started the Saturday Night Fever dance, it transported me back to that film, and wanted to watch it all over again.
As one of the most horrific organizations (cults) in America, the question to ask was……”does the church of Scientology pay you for your endorsements”??
And “Where is Shelly?”
I'm amazed that Hollywood celebs are so chill about having their own private planes and even private airstrips and yet they don't get called out about their carbon footprint
@CS-ol7wo is that so true? Celebrities will fly everywhere in their private jets to protest climate change and tell the rest of us to walk. Leonardo DiCaprio and Jane Fonda both flew up by private jets and rented helicopters to fly over Ft McMurray Alberta, when I lived there, to protest oil and the use of fossil fuels… The oil sands are the biggest natural oil spill in the world. Explorer’s found oil slicks on the rivers there and oil coming up through the ground. Unusable land is being cleaned up and now has trees and grass growing on it. It’s not “Dirty Oil” from there. Middle East oil is full of human rights atrocities. Celebrities lie all day long. Why do people listen?
Call him out then
Well he says he owns private plane like normal ,like i will go to shop for bread !
They do now, this was filmed 12 years ago.
He definitely gets called out for it. You can google it. Guess he just doesn't listen or doesn't care.
I genuinely think that he is a truly sincere man. He's suffered great loss and has focused on whats important in life.
I'm surprised at just how nice a person John is. Quite zen too.
John is a great actor, his hard work and dedication shows through his acting. He’s suffered such tragedies, I wish him well
Oh give me a break. He’s completely delusional.
Aren't we all , deluded .@@EZ_Case
I went into this expecting to be mad at his lack of ability to be a free thinker, but he’s just so darn adorable.
Same here...
That's how they lure you in, sis. Women fall for liars and abusers every day
It's a power they have. .. The guy is an elite actor.
is THAT how "they" do it, FORESKIN FLAVORED NUTS? @@Foreskinflavourednuts
That is how you become a scientologist, disconnect your sex drive from your logic - you may survive.
This was one of the, if not THE, best celebrity interviews I've ever seen. The questions were excellent, John Travolta was receptive and gave interesting answers, and I learned something about Scientology that seemed reasonable and not crazy. Because, yes, specific words can be very hurtful. And the dancing at the end was the best bonus EVER! Although Ricky can move, John Travolta is such a fine dancer. I hadn't seen him dance since I was younger, and forgot how truly good he is. Congratulations on a celebrity interview well worth watching‼️🥰❤️👍
John Travolta is clearly not interested in the night show's kind of meaningless blabbering, but he manages to simultaneously refrain from a small talk and stay respectful to Jonathan and the audience and not being irritated prima donna. Very classy!
John might not be an "elite" actor (only a few dozens were) but he certainly brought some of the most charismatic and memorable performances in the history of Hollywood - Danny Zuko, Tony Manero, Blow Out's Jack, Vincent Vega, Robert Shapiro.
Such a shame that this warm and good-hearted man went through so many tragic family events.
Yes he's very enigmatic and hard to read. His reserve could be wishing to show humility in reaction to Ross' hyped characterisation of his life, or because he can't talk honestly about Scientology because its out there and either misunderstood/misrepresented or hard to defend, yet he has a very sincere vibe and an apparent integrity about him
Ross’s show was always silly juvenile humour. Usually guests just laugh along. He sometimes went too far coming on to the ladies making them uncomfortable
You forgot he played Nicolas Cage too
@@AlchemistOfHecate lol)))
Respect? LOL, you just don't know. Does he respect women?
The ludicrousy of Scientology aside, John Travolta is known to be a very nice, sincere man.
There’s a lot of good things in the teaching of Scientology, like the Path to Happiness film. Some of it helps people educate themselves about different topics and become better people.
Not a lot of idolatry or mindless prayer but the money scheme is immoral. They are hugely rich in real estate and the IRS should force them to divest, but that would apply to Catholics too.
I don’t agree that they should be allowed a religious tax exemption because they don’t help anyone for free. They should not treat their ex-members like crap and force people to “disconnect “ from nonbelievers, that is hateful.
Their beliefs about aliens is no worse than traditional religious beliefs but still nuts.
It’s not a very nice thing to knowingly promote an organization that exploits and harms so many people.
Yes, he is very gracious and if you listened to him, John said Scientology helps him to help people. He didn't say no ONCE & NO negativity---like your comment about his adult choice about his religion. I bet people think your religion is ludicrous...some people do. Why so judgy???
@@Chris-Data_Analyst Symbolic language is not actually nuts. Nor were our ancient ancestors superstitious simpletons. Some of the ways ancient books have been interpreted is pretty nuts though.
Yeah cause me all have that friend that believes their god is a alien .
I wish they followed through and had Travolta on Extras. That would have been interesting to see.
John seems like an English man at heart. He gets the sence of Humour
"s-e-n-s-e"
Half Irish half Italian
That was hilarious 😆 I don’t even know how I ended up watching it!
He’s a real pilot 👨✈️ 😃 😂 I needed that thank you.
What an utterly charming man John Travolta is. Loved the interview! Thank you 😊
My heart sunk when he asked "Have you let your wife back up your plane" RIP Kelly Preston in 2020.
Yes glad the interview was 13 years before that. Otherwise it might have gotten ugly
In the early 1970’s I saw the traveling company of “Grease” at the wonderful Fisher Theatre in Detroit, a large and beautiful theatre. Years later when going through my belongings in preparation for a move to a new house I came across the old Playbill for Grease. I read it and discovered that John Travolta had a small part which I never realized. I would not have known his name in the early 70’s. This was before his movie career and before he headlined the movie version of Grease. His sister, Ann Travolta, was also in the cast. Anyway, my point is John Travolta really knows how to dance, he was a genuine “Broadway hoofer”.
Trust men to insist that births be silent. Trust Scientologists to white-wash the truth about what they actually stand for and the horrendous harassment they inflict on others. Do your homework.
Both men and women Scientologists understand why no verbal communication should be uttered at birth (or any situation of physical or mental pain). Cries of pain are totally expected of course... however verbal communication is best avoided because verbal communication in times of extreme physical or emotional pain can impinge on the partially unconscious mind (similar to hypnosis)... Many issues of anxiety or abberated behavior in life can be attributed to these 'impinged verbal statements'. To fully understand this better that you read Dianetics. In addition, I am also not sure what you mean when you say Scientologists 'white wash the truth'... what white washed 'truths' are you talking about... do you have actual examples of 'horrendous harassment they inflict on others'... and I don't mean the 'money making documentaries' that that are scattered around the internet... I mean actual court cases won against Scientology, please.
@@richardlaidler8183 You sound like an expert not only on giving birth, Richard but also on the virtues of the church of Scientology 😕
this person does know more about scientology than the other comments. I would rather hear comments from someone educated on a subject. Not just a " yes or no bro "
Only a man could say silent birth is simple
Ridiculous
I don't think you really listened to what was said properly. The silence is for the other people who are surrounded by a person who is in pain. He said if the mother has to scream, no problem.
For God's sake I has 5 deliveries none easy and didn't feel the need to scream for any of them...just bite on a flannel...I think peace and calm birth is better...nothing to do with religion etc..just common sense really.
@@jamesjackson5020 I know perfectly well what was meant, if people attend a birth and expect silence they shouldnt be there in the first place
@@linrob1312 good for you, not every one is as fortunate
I have close friends that are part of the Scientology and they are one of the most kind, humble and caring people i have met in my life. Always ready to help. In my opinion action defines a person not their choice of religion.
They have been brainwashed.
Well said 👍
Even a lot of people who have left Scientology have stated that John Travolta is a sweetheart, so he’s probably a good person. He’s just caught up in some thing he doesn’t feel he can leave.
Staying Alive, can't beat John's amazing dance moves! 🥰❤
Brilliant…… especially the donut eating . And dancing with Ricky 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Regardless of one’s personal feelings about John Travolta, he must be doing something right. Unlike several of his contemporaries of the 70’s and 80’s whose lives ended tragically from substance abuse and suicide, Travolta at age 69 is still alive and well. May he live to be 100.
yeah he is waiting for the alien ship with his deluded mate tom cruise
....I am amazed at how threatened so many people are by his religious beliefs. Same with Tom Cruise, yet both of these guys by all accounts are exceptional people. People imagine all kinds of nonsence in their own minds.
@@cspace1234nzPeople are suspicious of the harm caused daily by this huge cult, quite rightly. It's not a benign one. Lots of people are routinely harmed by it, and especially if they leave.
@@cspace1234nz there’s no imagining about their religious beliefs. Scientology is a dangerous cult disguised as a self help religion. All it does is bank information it can use against you, require you to pay tens of thousands of dollars to do it, and threaten to release that information should you want to leave or expose the mental and physical abuses people endure from their superiors, the kidnappings that occur (John’s former actress friend and ex Scientologist has spoken out about how he basically ignored her cries for help when she was held hostage and kept from her dying daughter and wouldn’t help her escape) and the fact that they then they engage in stalking and harassment when you do speak out against them. Literally going through exScientologists’ mail and having utilities turn off or important things canceled without their consent. And that’s not even mentioning the heinous abuses children endured when forced away from their parents-abuses being mentally, physically, and s*xually. These are open and well known within the cult, particularly the high ranking officers. This is straight from ex-Scientologists’ mouths and personal experiences.
@@cspace1234nz Scientology is very mysterious and secretive - I've never researched it but it seems very enigmatic, and like the "children of God" cult has ties to a disproportionate number of Hollywood celebrities. The way Scientology has been under fire for so long as well makes it hard to read, though since it's tied to Hollywood power and is secretive you'd assume somethings not right, yet Travolta seems like a sincere person. Maybe they're forced into it? That would explain the atmosphere around it - I'll stop speculating and do some research!!
A masterclass from Jonathan Ross on how to have fun with someone who is initially completely unwilling.
His son passing away and seeing the pictures of he and his son together was one of the saddest things I have ever seen.
and didn't he lose TWO wives to cancer??
@@sulej2925he was married in the 70s
@@vicrules6666 He didn't marry Diana Hyland before she passed away.
I'm sure the money softened the blow

The plane conversation was so fascinating and hilarious.
Jonathan is hilarious. I have to watch more of these.
