John Travolta has his eye on a new collaboration.
In an excerpt from an upcoming appearance on “Beyond the Sale,” a new podcast hosted by real estate mogul Shane Spiteri and Kirsty Cunningham, Travolta was asked about his dream co-star and raved about one Australian actress.
“Margot Robbie…oh my god, it's a dream,” he said. Daily Mail“I love her. She was in one of my favorite series, Pan Am.”

He went on to reveal that he actually met the actress at the 2022 Oscars and was able to express how much he loved her on the show, saying to her, “That was great, you were so amazing.”
Robbie appeared on the short-lived series for one season as flight attendant Laura Cameron, before going on to make a name for herself in Hollywood with roles in “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “Suicide Squad” and “Barbie.”
When Travolta met her, he asked her, “I heard you always wanted to be a flight attendant,” but was surprised when she replied, “No! I always wanted to be a pilot!”

The actor has famously been a pilot since he was 22 and has been taking aviation training since he was 15. He recently received his license to fly a Boeing 737. He used his knowledge of planes to offer constructive criticism of one of Robbie's movies.
“I said, ‘In your film, [‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’] “I said, 'That was a mistake,'” he said on the podcast. “The Pan Am 747 didn't enter service until January 1970, but[the film is set]in the fall of 1969, and Leonardo DiCaprio is flying to Europe on a 747. That just didn't happen.”

Travolta was impressed with Robbie's reaction when he pointed out the mistake, saying that she wasn't defensive, but rather was curious to see how the film's director, Quentin Tarantino, would react to hearing about his mistake.
“Instead of defending it, she was more interested in how Quentin would react,” he explained. “And she wanted to be a pilot. Those two things made me like her even more. And she's beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful.”
For many fans, Travolta is inseparably linked to another blonde Australian actress, the late Olivia Newton-John. The two starred together in the 1978 classic “Grease” and remained close friends until Newton-John's death in 2022.

“Dearest Olivia, you made all of our lives so much better,” Travolta wrote on Instagram after her death. “Your impact was incredible. I love you so much. One day we will meet again and we will all be together. From the moment I met you and forever yours! Your Danny, your John!”
