Teasing Out John Travolta
 |
Allie @ Gone Hollywood | Friday, September 8, 2006 |
Hollywood musicals haven’t been a sure thing lately, so the brain trust behind Hairspray wanted a ringer for their remake. How about the male actor that was just caught kissing another man on a plane? YEAH!!! That’s the one!
Travolta, in drag, plays Edna Turnblad, whose daughter Tracy (newcomer Nikki Blonsky) confronts racism in 1960s Baltimore. Travolta inherits the role from Divine in the original 1988 film and Harvey Fierstein in the Broadway show.
The real discovery, Shankman says, is the chemistry between the veteran and rookie. “When she walked on set for the first time, it was like she had been doing it for 30 years. John melts around her. They are so cute together, it’s unbelievable.” source
He “melts around her”? Um… do you see how large this man is? Yeah… uh huh, right!
