John Travolta proves he’s still got the moves with a fun dance lesson for James Corden and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
John Travolta continues to shine with age, much like a fine wine. At 65, he proved he’s still got the moves by giving James Corden a playful dance lesson.
During the episode, Corden asked Aaron and Sam Taylor-Johnson about their transformation into Pulp Fiction’s iconic characters for Halloween.
After reminiscing about the film’s famous dance scene, Corden invited Travolta to demonstrate his legendary skills.
Known for his unforgettable performances in Saturday Night Fever and Grease, Travolta took to the dance floor with ease, teaching the group classic moves like the mashed potato, the twist, the swim, and the Batman.
Despite its simplicity, Travolta’s charm made the entire segment a joy to watch.
On December 5, 2019, The Late Late Show with James Corden featured an episode where John Travolta taught a dance class that quickly became a hit. Garnering 18.9 million views on Corden’s YouTube channel, the video touched hearts and drew praise from fans. Comments like “You never lose class, John Travolta,” and “John Travolta is a national treasure,” reflected the audience’s admiration for the iconic star, known for his charm, charisma, and legendary status.
One of cinema’s most memorable dance scenes is the one between Travolta and Uma Thurman in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction. In the film, Travolta’s character, Vincent Vega, takes Mia Wallace, played by Thurman, to a dance competition where they groove to Chuck Berry’s “You Never Can Tell.” The moves Travolta showcased on Corden’s show were reminiscent of this iconic scene.
During the segment, Travolta shared some behind-the-scenes insights into the creation of the Pulp Fiction dance sequence. He revealed that director Quentin Tarantino initially envisioned a focus on the twist, but Travolta suggested incorporating other novelty dances from his youth, like the swim and the Batman. This creative input from Travolta helped shape the legendary dance scene that has become a cultural touchstone.
