    How can you be so down to earth and be involved with something as insane and dangerous as Scientology?
  • @jeremiahvik2472
    John Travolta's (and Cruise's) experience with Scientology is a whole lot different than a non-celebrity.
  • @quilleymemory
    Huge credit to Jonathan Ross for asking the questions we wanted to ask and yet keeping the show light and moving. What he’s doing here is a tightrope walk and he’s damn good at it. He was hugely criticized for earning large sums but here we are, decades later, still consuming this content. He really was great at that job.

    Ricky Gervais and John Travolta explaining scientology ... if that's not a recipe for disaster I don't know what is πŸ˜‚
  • @leslie4551
    Interesting how he crosses his arms when talking about scientology but is completely comfortable all other times.
  • @user-cx2pc4bs3c
    I met John many years ago at the Scientology complex in Fl. We were hanging out at the coffee bar, smoking cigars, and having a coffee. What a nice guy. Since then I left Scientology. I hope that he does the same.

    Damn, that body language at the beginning. Palm on his face, leaning on his elbow. He's thinking "why the fuck did I agree to this?!"
  • Silent birth WTF? A man telling you its ok???? Love you Johnny but once u've gone thru a silent birth yourself, we'll talk againπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
  • @horsedesigns
    Mr. Travolta looks so sweet and tired in this interview. His kindness radiates.
  • @TheJovialBrit
    Good for him for asking about Scientology and good for John for being so open about it. It can be a touchy subject for a lot of people.
  • @mmay6621
    When a Scientologist says β€œwe help so many people”, I wish the interviewer would ask WHO exactly have you helped?
  • @chessvoices
    Wow Travolta still has that magic you feel when he moves. Such a gifted dancer.

    I thought a silent birth was having a kid off the grid without the government knowing about it πŸ˜‚
  • @luluslader
    I went into this expecting to be mad at his lack of ability to be a free thinker, but he’s just so darn adorable.

    I'm always amazed at how bursting with life & energy British talk shows are. They make US & Canadian shows seem like everyone's sedated. It's relaxed & interesting & it also sparks a creative edge in guests. They come off far more interesting. Travolta's career in dancing & acting now strikes me as very accomplished. And also what comes through is the humor, the witty repartee. This was the first time I've seen scientology represented with some dignity. Great interview! Loved the spontaneous dancing close.
