John Travolta: singing with Miley Cyrus has made me popular with my kids

Nevermind his 1970s heyday or his huge comeback in the 1990s, John Travolta has only just become a star in his own household after singing a duet with Miley Cyrus.

John and Miley both lend their voices to new animated film Bolt and sing a duet together on the soundtrack - which impressed his children, sixteen year old son Jett and eight year old daughter Ella.

Speaking at the film’s premiere in Los Angeles earlier this week, he explained: “I was so popular when I got home after they had gotten the news that I sang with Miley.

“Doing a movie with her was big enough news. But the singing and dancing with her was a whole other thing. So I’m finally getting some attention from my kids.”
