In Da Club: Travolta Dances His Way Through Cannes With 50 Cent

The 64-year-old actor returned to the Cannes Film Festival to promote his new mafia boss John Gotti biopic 'Gotti'

John Travolta first came to Cannes 40 years ago while promoting "Grease," and he's still dancing along the Croisette.

The 64-year-old actor returned to the Cannes Film Festival to promote his new mafia boss John Gotti biopic "Gotti," celebrate the anniversary of "Grease" with a screening on the beach, and, at a soiree on Tuesday night, share a few dance moves alongside rapper 50 Cent.

Travolta loves Cannes. It's where Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" debuted two decades ago and won the festival's top award, the Palme d'Or. This year's trip is more of a victory lap while premiering "Gotti."
