John Travolta Reacts to the Buzz About His Berets on 'Propeller' Press Tour, Attends L.A. Premiere with Daughter Ella

Travolta said he bought about 12 berets after studying old-school filmmakers and using the look to reinvent his image.

  • At the DGA premiere Thursday, actor John Travolta told Variety's Marc Malkin he adopted the beret to feel like a director while promoting his directorial debut, 'Propeller One-Way Night Coach.'
  • Travolta adopted the style after failing to differentiate photos of himself from the past 50 years, prompting him to research old-school directors who commonly wore berets and glasses.

  • Travolta argued men "don't have enough to do" and should "change it up," while also styling his daughter, Ella, for recent carpet appearances.
  • Based on a 1997 children's book, 'Propeller One-Way Night Coach' is a one-hour film now available to stream on AppleTV.
