Star was born in 1954 in the small town of Englewood, New Jersey. His father was Italian and played American soccer professionally. His mother was Irish, a woman who taught English, and in her spare time sang and acted in movies. It was his mother who instilled in the young artist a love of acting.

In 1976, John met actress Diana Hyland, the pair immediately began an affair. After a year of relationship the beauty died in Travolta's arms from breast cancer. On September 2, 1991, the celebrity married actress Kelly Preston. The couple had an heir, Jett, a year after the wedding. At age 16, the boy died of an epileptic seizure in the bathroom of Travolta's home in the Bahamas.

After another tragedy, another twist in fate awaited the celebrity. On July 13, 2020, his wife Kelly passed away. The woman, like his first love Diana, could not overcome breast cancer. The death of his beloved severely undermined the artist's health. He fell into a prolonged depression. After the incident, John was offered a major role in the action movie directed by Chuck Russell's "Paradise City". Filming was able to distract the man from his grief.

An interesting fact is that the "Pulp Fiction" star is a professional pilot. The celebrity has more than 1 thousand hours of flight time, has a pilot's license and a personal Boeing-707. The actor also has several smaller planes in his fleet. In 2017, he decided to give up piloting because of his age.
