He was. This was around the time when his girlfriend Diana Highland (who was much older and in her 40's at the time) had died. And had taken him a long time to get over it.
He was 23-24 when this was filmed. I'm really impressed with that. I'm not even a Travolta fan, I came across this looking for 70's stuff I might remember from my childhood. I do remember watching Welcome Back Kotter with my folks when it was 1st aired. "Wat? Weah?" But Horshack was my favorite. =)
I have a confession to make. I’m a millennial. I used to have the wildest crush on John Travolta. 🤦♀️ I would watch TV Guide (yes, they used to have a channel) and I would sit around doing nothing. Then a listing for a movie (say, Urban Cowboy) would show up, and it would list his name. I got so excited I dived under the covers of my parents’ bed. I was too scared to actually watch the movie.
Reminds me of this lady I was madly in love with in NYC. I was 23, she was about 45 when her own daughter under the influence of some drug stabbed her with a knife killing her.
He’s really cute guy with good looking but he reminds me of his ppl that looked like him, is mostly likely Italian. His dad is a Italian American but his father is the second generation of Italian family that born in America . His mother is Irish American. I feel so he lost both of his loved ones. He have loss a son, and then now he loss his wife from breast cancer 🥺😔😞
Matt Yust My family had it Queens, Ny. There was no cable tv other than HBO. As for the cost I remember it was $10.00 per month. Broadcasting started around 7:00 PM and ran till about 2AM. Every month we would wait for the monthly guide to see what would be on and when. I saw a lot of movies that I never would have seen. In the Summer of 78 I was 11. I saw Cannon Ball with Carradine, Death Race 2000, Food of The Gods, Emmit Otter at Christmas. I also saw my first set of boobies..lol. Forget the movie, but it was Lynda Carter ......I was also a popular kid because we were the only ones on the block with HBO, so I could invite friends. So cool, no commercials and curse words.
this is awesome! I wasn't able to get HBO until 1980 when I was 12. I didn't get vhs until later than some - 1986. I wish I could have taped this! Thanks for posting. :-)
His eyes started tearing up at 4:52 I guess he was thinking about Diana (his girlfriend that he lost to breast cancer while he was filming Saturday night fever)
what is the difference between someone like John travolta, who had a fixed role as a younger person, and still rose to fame in many areas, and other former child stars, who say their adolescent typecast ruined them, and destroyed chances at furthering themselves, because the role they played growing up sealed a permanent mage in the minds of casting directors who could not get beyond the original character .............
Always had a crush on him when I was little when I watched Welcome back Kotter. I know someone now who looks just like him during this era.❤ Too bad he's too young for me.
John Travolta a man of integrity? Seriously???? And everyone still gushes on TH-cam how sweet natured he looks. Can't people see that L Ron Hubbard was corrupting him from within even then? The only truth from this interview : "Tony Manero...his life is not my life. We're completely separate entities." Damn right, cos Tony at least did try to do the right thing. John Travolta did the Saturday Night Fever sequel. Boom.
I don't get it at first he says his past isn't the same as Tony's past that why he doesn't act like him. Then he goes on in saying his past is similar to Tony's. Well which is it?
ThinkPositiveDude he was referring to different things like no he’s not a macho azz like tony but yes he was more Social before he became so famous like tony
Poor John he was shi...ng himself during this interview The interviewer was an intellectual critic and poor John thought he was going to tear him to shreds look at JT interviews before or after this one and you'll see a very much relaxed guy because the interviewers were not named movie critics
+Chris talton Because the interviewer was a movie Critic and a sharp one too a bit like a guy meeting the future parents-in-law for the first time only a zillion times worse

By looking at him I see aging sux for such a beautiful man like john travolta but I still love him now
he's adorable. he seems so down to earth and normal. he looked so nervous
Wow, it's amazing how you can go back in time and fall in love.
He just REEKS of sweetness, angelic practically! And he was damn beautiful at 23!
He was. This was around the time when his girlfriend Diana Highland (who was much older and in her 40's at the time) had died. And had taken him a long time to get over it.
Lol he's so shy and young here, "just turned 23.."
He would have been 24 in 1978, since he was born in 1954
So sweet, so sensitive, so innocent a pure, not cocky at all!
he seems like he has such a sweet kind soul
No, he doesn't have a kind soul! He's a insane Scientologist!!
His voice is so sensational
his voice......melt me is so sweet
He is the hottest man on earth. So kind, sweet, and gorgeous. I love him!
This Interview shows me how sweet, vulnerable and so down to earth John was and why he is a treasure not only to the cinema, but the human race!!
Sensitive soul.
So soft-spoken 🥺
Could he just stop batting his eyelashes and licking his lips? :0 I can't focus on what's being said, he's too handsome.
he is still very handsome! Don't forget that he is almost 60! he looks good! Besides his
look, he is a fantastic man.
He always sounds really young even till this day he voice never changed. Such a beautiful voice to hear 🤗
One of the most dramatic celebrity real life stories I've ever heard. May-December romance and dying in his arms.....
Good Lord! That was the absolute longest intro I’ve ever seen.😒
i just can't stop staring at his eye
That intro though
prettyfuckery long as hell
gotta love this 70's music... sooo groovy
I feel like men I’m the 1970s we’re so sweet. My two favorite decades are the 40s and the 70s
yes-brings back memories of good ole Brooklyn days!!!!
He was 23-24 when this was filmed. I'm really impressed with that. I'm not even a Travolta fan, I came across this looking for 70's stuff I might remember from my childhood. I do remember watching Welcome Back Kotter with my folks when it was 1st aired. "Wat? Weah?" But Horshack was my favorite. =)
Those eyes...😍
hES SO CUTE AND ADORABLE IN THIS I CRY
His voice is music to my ears 🤗💖💓💝💕😍😘
I know right sometimes I wish u could back in time and see,Olivia Newton John and John Travolta while they were young
I have a confession to make.
I’m a millennial. I used to have the wildest crush on John Travolta. 🤦♀️
I would watch TV Guide (yes, they used to have a channel) and I would sit around doing nothing. Then a listing for a movie (say, Urban Cowboy) would show up, and it would list his name. I got so excited I dived under the covers of my parents’ bed. I was too scared to actually watch the movie.
He looks somehow nervous and shy...but very handsome
John has such beautiful blue eyes but than again he always was and will always will be gorgeous 🤗
As a straight man I also love him :p
Damn Jett looked exactly like him …
I was a straight man 6 minutes and twenty three second ago. Not anymore
TheDjMan 😂 shoo he does look good and I'm straight.
as you should
I just want to kiss him..
Tash Cook pervert
Why NOT!?
Really, you want to kiss a insane Scientologist?
Because he looks like Al Pacino??😉
i think he was still upset over diana highland his love who passed away just a year before...
Reminds me of this lady I was madly in love with in NYC. I was 23, she was about 45 when her own daughter under the influence of some drug stabbed her with a knife killing her.
😍 i think that i'm the only teenager who has a crush on 70'/80's boys 😍
glosshy No you’re not alone! When I was a teenager I loved actors from the 70’s. We are old souls, as they say.
Me too💓💓💓
He’s really cute guy with good looking but he reminds me of his ppl that looked like him, is mostly likely Italian. His dad is a Italian American but his father is the second generation of Italian family that born in America . His mother is Irish American. I feel so he lost both of his loved ones. He have loss a son, and then now he loss his wife from breast cancer 🥺😔😞
When I was NINE, I loved John Travolta to bits.
WOW, I didn't even know HBO existed in the 70s. Learn something new everyday.
Recorded November 1978
Hes even sweeter in real life
He looked so sad in this video this way not too long after Diana Hyland passed away 🥺😢😔
Who knew HBO stood for home box office?!?
Bridget Cook I did but I'm 58. I didn't think HBO was back in 78 I thought it started in 1980.
Longer freaking introduction please! I'm curious what it cost to subscribe to HBO in 1978.
Matt Yust My family had it Queens, Ny. There was no cable tv other than HBO. As for the cost I remember it was $10.00 per month. Broadcasting started around 7:00 PM and ran till about 2AM. Every month we would wait for the monthly guide to see what would be on and when. I saw a lot of movies that I never would have seen. In the Summer of 78 I was 11. I saw Cannon Ball with Carradine, Death Race 2000, Food of The Gods, Emmit Otter at Christmas. I also saw my first set of boobies..lol. Forget the movie, but it was Lynda Carter ......I was also a popular kid because we were the only ones on the block with HBO, so I could invite friends. So cool, no commercials and curse words.
TheReubenKincaid HBO was special back then, the guide every month, the specials. It was first class.
@@TheReubenKincaid I remember it well. I was 12 in 1978.
His voice there is so soft.
SNF is my fave movie of all time and John Travolta sure was gorgeous back then
Podría estar viendo su carita por dias sin cansarme, travolta era guapisimo.
Guapisimo mi John ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😘😘😘😘😘💕
this is awesome! I wasn't able to get HBO until 1980 when I was 12. I didn't get vhs until later than some - 1986. I wish I could have taped this! Thanks for posting. :-)
Lovely man
Awwwww he's sooooo sweet and such a gentleman
Damn, why I wish to kiss him so badly? Well I know, hi's so fkn beautiful!
His eyes started tearing up at 4:52 I guess he was thinking about Diana (his girlfriend that he lost to breast cancer while he was filming Saturday night fever)

Excellent clip. Thanks!
Why was i born too late? I hate the fact that i didnt get to enjoy seeing him or any of the other things that were happening during that era :(
Always had a crush on him when I was little when I watched Welcome back Kotter. I know someone now who looks just like him during this era.❤ Too bad he's too young for me.
I think we should send god a bottle of wine or some biscuits to thank him for creating such a beautiful being!
What sort of biscuits lol
Biscuits and gravy!!!
Some of those big flaky ones!
Trop bien! Merci!
Thanks very much for posting, you are completing me.
He’s so shy !
oh no worries, considering the age of this program and everything, it's cool to see what we do have on here
He is so natural he talks like hes in a movie 😅
awesome introduction
Wow this takes me back! I remember being in love with lets get physical a couple of years after this!
I love the hair..
actually I did see him very recently at a charity event and he is soooooo gorgeous and lost a lot of weight! He is simply beautiful!
John is acting and in character during this whole interview
boy in the plastic bubble
1:47 is when this video STARTS. Geez....
3:04 is the start
He looks so sad here and you can hear it in the sound of his voice
best youtube comment ever!
Interview starts at 3:02.
Damn groovy 1978 production graphics! ;-)
He looks tried... looking around.. to stay awake.. He's keep looking up and down....
The death of his girlfriend Diana Hyland was still very fresh. This may have had something to do with it & how he was feeling.
John Travolta a man of integrity? Seriously???? And everyone still gushes on TH-cam how sweet natured he looks. Can't people see that L Ron Hubbard was corrupting him from within even then? The only truth from this interview : "Tony Manero...his life is not my life. We're completely separate entities." Damn right, cos Tony at least did try to do the right thing.

God, so sweet and gorgeous
His eyes are Super wet looking.... borderline tears?😳🤔
♡ aww sweet John

I had childhood crush on him. Now my daughter does...she meets him tomorrow ! With Olivia 2019 Specail 💙👏 wish I can go
He keeps on licking his lips ; ]
😮😮😮
Who composed this jive fast music score theme song to HBO's short lived series "Up Close?" and how long did that show last?
John got more bumper than an auto body shop
I don't get it at first he says his past isn't the same as Tony's past that why he doesn't act like him. Then he goes on in saying his past is similar to Tony's. Well which is it?
ThinkPositiveDude he was referring to different things like no he’s not a macho azz like tony but yes he was more Social before he became so famous like tony
@TheEXpothead AMEN my Friend
@NapaValleyEstates I agree..I love TH-cam...I would be LOST without it because of the way TV and RADIO are NOWADAYS..It SUCKS...So THANK YOU TH-cam

QueenPickles his girlfriend had passed away around this time
His girlfriend recently passed away. She died in his arms.
Poor John he was shi...ng himself during this interview The interviewer was an intellectual critic and poor John thought he was going to tear him to shreds look at JT interviews before or after this one and you'll see a very much relaxed guy because the interviewers were not named movie critics
He was only 23 here
@atlaeleroy29 those were the exact words i was thinking about him!
Sorry, this is all I have
Such a hottie back then...he ain't now tho😂
Papa RAMON Aaron Juan
Why does he look so distressed
+Chris talton Because the interviewer was a movie Critic and a sharp one too a bit like a guy meeting the future parents-in-law for the first time only a zillion times worse
???
@atlaeleroy29 That,s exactly what I'm thinking. :)
