-The one and only John Travolta.
0:02
I love you. Welcome back.
0:04
-I love you, too.
0:05
-They love you. Come on. -Thank you so much.
0:08
That was a gorgeous welcoming. -Oh, my gosh.
0:10
-I love this man, and I love all of you,
0:12
and thank you for having me here tonight.
0:15
Yeah. Really. -Does that ever --
0:17
Does that ever get old, when people never go nuts for you?
0:20
-I love it. I don't know what I'd do without,
0:23
so thank you. -Yeah.
0:24
Thank you so much for coming on the show.
0:26
Congratulations on the movie.
0:27
I can't wait to get into it.
0:28
It's fantastic.
0:30
You brought me something, which is fun.
0:32
You brought a photo of you and another pop icon.
0:35
And I just wanted to ask you, what goes through your brain
0:38
when it's you and Ringo Starr just hanging out together?
0:42
A Beatle and John Travolta.
0:43
I mean, this is like legends, icons. Where do you meet?
0:47
Are you at like an icon convention?
0:49
-I went to -- I wanted to see Ringo perform.
0:51
I'd wanted to meet him. -Yeah.
0:52
-So I went to this --
0:54
this Floridian performance and went backstage, and he said,
0:57
"Why don't you come sing with me?"
0:59
So we sang, "I Get By with a Little Help from my Friends."
1:03
-Yeah, of course! Oh, my gosh.
1:05
-And it was the second Beatle I had actually sung with
1:07
because I had also sung with Paul McCartney
1:10
in the parking lot of a Tom Ford party years ago.
1:13
[ Laughter ] Yeah.
1:14
-How's that work? Did you see him in
1:16
the parking lot, and you just go, "Hey, Paul.
1:18
Let's go"? What?
1:19
-He said, "Well, I represented the '60s.
1:21
You represented the '70s. We should sing."
1:23
-You also represented the '80s, the '90s.
1:26
What decade did you not represent?
1:28
You can't miss. You're John Travolta, bud.
1:30
-Thank you. -Hey, you're everything.
1:33
-Well, we did, we sang.
1:34
-Let me see. We have a little clip here,
1:36
you singing with Ringo Starr.
1:37
-♪ Could it be anybody? ♪
1:42
♪ I just want someone to love ♪
1:47
-Come on. You guys hitting the notes, hitting the harmonies.
1:49
-[ Chuckles]
1:52
-You had an incredible weekend
1:53
over at the Cannes Film Festival.
1:55
Not only did you premiere your movie,
1:57
"Propeller One-Way Night Coach" --
1:59
Congratulations on that. -Thank you.
2:01
-But you also got the prestigious Palme d'Or award
2:04
for Lifetime Achievement in Film.
2:07
[ Cheers and applause ]
2:12
-This is how cool John Travolta is.
2:14
I go -- before you came on, I go, "Oh, man, John,
2:17
could you bring the Palme d'Or to our show?
2:19
Could you?" And you did.
2:21
-[ Chuckles ] Yeah.
2:23
-You brought this to the show?
2:24
I've never seen this before.
2:26
So, all right. So how do I even open it?
2:27
Like this? -I think so.
2:30
There you go.
2:31
-Holy mackerel. I don't want to drop it.

♪♪
2:42
-Now, this was --
2:45
Thank you for bringing this,
2:46
but you were so surprised in the video I saw
2:49
when they gave this to you, and you got emotional.
2:52
I mean, this was not planned?
2:54
-No. Well, it was a complete secret.
2:56
No one in my team knew. No one --
2:58
The Apple team knew. No one did.
3:01
And I think what happened was, five months prior,
3:03
they had done a -- made a decision about me
3:06
that was unheard of in the history of Cannes.
3:09
Thierry Fremaux saw this film,
3:12
the one that you saw, and he loved it.
3:15
He thought it was great.
3:17
And he said, "I want you --
3:19
I've done something I've never done before.
3:21
I'm going to accept it as the first selection now,"
3:25
which he had never done, "five months early."
3:26
And I think he said, "But I'm going to make it
3:28
a very special night."
3:30
So I think he was planning this for five months.
3:32
-You're like, "A special night." You're like, "Yeah, okay."
3:35
-I was happy just to be there.
3:37
I didn't expect this at all. -Yeah.
3:39
-You know, it's such a privilege to --
3:41
to have a film at Cannes that --
3:43
-That's a prize in itself. -Exactly.
3:46
-But I think give John Travolta every award
3:47
because you deserve all the awards
3:49
because of what you've given us as an artist.
3:53
Yes! I just loved it, and I love that --
3:55
I just love how, like, humble you were there.
3:57
I'm like, "Dude, this guy's been through everything,
3:59
he's seen everything, but you still appreciate it."
4:01
And I'm like, that's why everyone loves you.
4:03
-Well, thank you. -And congrats on this movie.
4:05
Why did he love it so much, do you think? "Propeller."
4:09
-He said that -- He said it was perfect.
4:11
There was nothing wrong with it, and I went --
4:13
The most discerning opinion in the world in cinema.
4:15
Yeah, of course, I think so.
4:17
-He was telling me this, and I cried.
4:18
I couldn't believe that he felt that way,
4:21
and I was just relieved and glad that he did.
4:23
-I love the story behind this because you wrote this,
4:25
you produced this, you directed this, you narrate this.
4:29
This is based on, what Was a book that you put out?
4:34
-I wrote a novella 35 years ago,
4:37
and then I published it with Warner Books.
4:41
And then I decided I was going to make it into a film,
4:43
but I waited all this time because anyone
4:46
who was supporting it had a lot of ideas about
4:48
how they would do it.
4:50
But because it's my own life I'm portraying in this film,
4:53
I knew it was too personal
4:55
and too intimate to let anyone else do it.
4:59
-Take it. -Yeah.
5:00
So I just waited until I thought --
5:02
But, you know, it's the kind of thing
5:04
when your grandmother has plateware in a cupboard,
5:08
and she's 95, and you say --
5:11
you say, "Well, are we gonna use this plate?"
5:14
and she says, "Oh, no, we're waiting for a special occasion."
5:16
-Yeah, yeah. When are we gonna use these plates? Yeah.
5:18
-Yeah. Well, that's what happened last year.
5:20
I said, "John, you're this age."
5:21
I said, "When are you ever going to do this?"
5:23
-Yeah, you got to do this. -So I had to do it.
5:25
-But you got to do it yourself,
5:26
and that's such a good lesson to everyone out there.
5:28
Don't give up. Just go,
5:29
"Yeah, I'm gonna make this myself.
5:30
Watch. Watch what I do." And it's fantastic.
5:32
-Thank you. -It's semi-autobiographical.
5:34
It's about your first ever flight.
5:37
-Yes. -As a kid.
5:39
-Yes. It's a little boy, it was me.
5:41
And he's -- he's taking a trip across the country
5:43
for the first time.
5:45
He's obsessed with aviation, and he's resilient and hopeful.
5:49
And everything he looks at is a glass half full.
5:52
It's a very beautiful and positive perspective on life.
5:56
-He's a dreamer. -He's a dreamer.
5:58
So, his mother has this promise of being
6:03
in movies, if she goes out west, from someone
6:06
in summer theater that promised her --
6:08
-This is another dream. -Another dream.
6:10
-Yeah. -So, here we are.
6:11
But we couldn't afford a real jet-liner ticket
6:16
because they were too expensive. -Yeah.
6:17
-So you had to go into the schedules
6:20
and look for the cheapest ticket,
6:22
which was propeller, one-way, night, coach.
6:25
And that was what we could afford.
6:27
So you get on the plane,
6:29
but it makes all these stops across the country,
6:32
and it's all the people that we meet going out to LA.
6:36
But in the clip you're going to show, it's funny,
6:38
because it's my daughter Ella who play --
6:40
-She's fantastic. -Isn't she?
6:42
-Yes! -A star is born, right?
6:43
-She's great. A star is born. I just loved it.
6:45
And I loved the magic of it.
6:46
Because I think sometimes you forget, you know,
6:48
because we get old, of what life is like when you're a little kid
6:52
and, you know, going into a living room, it's a big room.
6:54
-Yeah. Yes.
6:55
-"This is the biggest thing I've ever seen."
6:57
You know, seeing a plane for the first time?
6:58
-Yes. -It's like...
7:00
It's like going to -- It's just --
7:01
It's fascinating. I think you shot it perfectly.
7:04
I think it's gorgeous.
7:05
The music is great.
7:07
-It's really an homage to the best masterpieces
7:10
of cinema soundtracks.
7:12
You know, Henry Mancini and Gato Barbieri
7:15
and all these beautiful pieces of music
7:18
that I laced through the film, because it was 1962
7:22
is when this takes place.
7:23
So you have to have the atmosphere of 1962.
7:26
So, the architecture -- it's an homage to the architecture,
7:29
the clothing, the aircraft, the cars.
7:32
-The details. Down to the details.
7:34
Down to the Buster Brown shoe box
7:36
that I love that little detail, as well.
7:38
But also, who did the animation at the beginning?
7:40
-That's Shag. Now, Shag is kind of
7:43
the equivalent of Andy Warhol today.
7:44
He's a Picasso-esque type sketcher and painter.
7:48
-It was great.
7:50
He was so excited because it was his wheelhouse,
7:52
the mid-century, his wheelhouse. So he did a bunch of sketches
7:55
that reflected the scenario of the film,
7:59
and we put it together and made an animation
8:01
for the opening credits.
8:02
-It just worked. And it's the boy and his mom,
8:04
and it's just a great trip, and I want to show everyone a scene.
8:07
Here's a scene from "Propeller One-Way Night Coach."
8:09
Take a look.

8:15

8:25
-What's your favorite airplane?

8:34
-It's pretty good. Do you have a boyfriend?
8:37
-I did, but we just broke up.
8:39
-My mother's an actress, you know.
8:41
-Really?
8:43
-I used this line whenever I wanted to impress someone.
8:46
-That's very interesting.
8:47
-Yes. We're going to Hollywood.
8:49
They called her. She has to do some movie
8:52
with...Paul Newman, I think.

8:55
-Paul Newman? Really?
