John Travolta honored by royal family member

Hollywood star John Travolta on Monday expressed gratitude to Prince Albert of Monaco as he shared Cannes memories on Instagram.

Taking to his Stories, the "Pulp Fiction" actor shared a picture with the royal, writing, "Thank you Prince Albert for making my night so special." 

The actor is seen wearing the same dress he wore to the  Cannes Film Festival last month where he was surprised with an honorary Palme d'Or prize before the premiere of his ‌directorial debut "Propeller One-Way Night Coach."

In the next Instagram Story, the actor shared another picture with the cast and wrote, "Memories of Cannes."

According to Reuters news agency, "Propeller" is an exploration of a boy's waxing love ​for aviation and a fateful cross-country flight to Los Angeles during ​the golden age of flying and is based on a ⁠book of the same name that Travolta wrote some three decades ago.

Making the film was a labour of love for Travolta, who produced, financed, directed, narrated and wrote it.

"Other people wanted to ​produce it and direct it, but I thought it was so personal," recalled ​the 72-year-old.

"Not that another couldn't do it, it's just that I just wanted to be ‌at ⁠the end of my chapters in my life to give a reflection of how it started for me," he told the audience.

Travolta has been one of Hollywood's most enduring stars, breaking out in the late 1970s with his ​disco drama "Saturday Night Fever" ​and the Stephen ⁠King prom-night horror movie, "Carrie."
