In his new thriller The Fanatic, John Travolta plays Moose, a stalker who will stop at nothing to meet his favourite movie star even when things turn violent. Luckily, in real life, the actor, 65, says he’s had a much more pleasant experience in the public eye. “I’ve always appreciated what fame has given me,” he says. “You have a golden ticket all over the world. So what if you have to sign autographs and take pictures [with people]? For me, it’s not a big price to pay.” While he’s been acting for more than 40 years, the role that makes him happiest is being dad to daughter Ella Bleu, 19, and son Ben, 8, with his wife of 28 years, actress Kelly Preston, 56.
