John Travolta performing with Pitbull at Premio lo Nuestro left us confused yet happy
Never call John Travolta a boomer.
He’s staying cool and relevant as can be.
After his surprise cameo at Univision’s Premio Lo Nuestro awards at AmericanAirlines Arena Thursday night, we went scouring for our old “Grease” video.
The audience first got a peek of Travolta from his seat, when Thalia pointed him out in the crowd saying the 66-year-old was her “first crush.”
Then when Pitbull took the stage for a sexy performance of “Three to Tango,” complete with dancers in pink lingerie, Travolta showed up again.
Travolta came prepared with moves, not quite like the ones we saw back in the day from Tony Manero in “Saturday Night Fever,” but hey.
Many viewers were confused by the Hollywood legend’s presence, but pleased overall. Under the PLN Insta pic with the two men, people weighed in.
“I just don’t understand why John Travolta was there.”
“Epic!”
“Thursday night fever!”
“The best performance by far.”
Hardcore fans know Travolta and Pit have worked together before, and are friends.
The part time Ocala, FL, resident actually costarred in the video for Pitbull’s “Three to Tango” last summer, shooting at the music star’s former Ocean Drive restaurant, then called ILov305. Pit did music for the “Gotti” soundtrack, in which Travolta starred back in 2018. It was the Miami rapper’s first composing gig.
“Music has played an integral part in the success of some of my biggest films,” Travolta said in a statement during production. “And Armando is one of the most electric talents in the music industry today.”
You got that straight. Now come back anytime.
