Did Ozempic Change John Travolta? Fans Shocked by His Dramatic Cannes Appearance
Travolta’s directorial debut drew record festival attention as Cannes surprised him with an honorary Palme d’Or after he said he cried like a baby.
On Friday, John Travolta premiered his directorial debut, "Propeller One-Way Night Coach," at the Cannes Film Festival, where Cannes director Thierry Frémaux surprised the 72-year-old with an honorary Palme d'Or.
Frémaux revealed the film, based on Travolta's 1997 children's book, was the first selected for the 2026 festival line-up, a historic selection that prompted Travolta to say he "cried like a baby" upon hearing.
Fans on social media fixated on Travolta's youthful appearance, with some claiming he looked "hard to believe he's 72," though the actor has not addressed speculation about cosmetic procedures or confirmed any procedures.
Travolta walked the red carpet with his 26-year-old daughter Ella, who stars in the film, after piloting his own plane to France for the festival premiere.
Frémaux praised Travolta as "one of the greatest artists of the 20th and 21st centuries" as "Propeller One-Way Night Coach" prepares for its May 29 release on Apple TV.
