Celebrity royalty in the house!

Two unlikely stars were sharing the love Saturday night in Florida.

John Travolta attended the Mötley Crüe concert in Jacksonville during the band’s stop on its North American Stadium Tour, and apparently got some VIP treatment back stage at TIAA Bank Field.

On Instagram, Travolta, who has a home about 100 miles away in Ocala, is seen hugging heavy metal drummer Tommy Lee.

“Tommy, thank you for greatest night in rock ‘n’ roll. Mötley Crüe at its best,” wrote the “Saturday Night Fever” legend, placing the umlaut correctly over the band’s first “O” and second “U.” (Back in the day, when naming the group, the guys said they thought an umlaut “looked European,” not realizing the diacritical mark changed the pronunciation).

Lee, 59, reposted a different shot of him giving Travolta, 68, a huge kiss on the cheek, thanking the actor for coming out to the show and for his “energy.”

Many commenters were shocked to see the unlikely pairing.

“Johnny and Tommy!”

“How cool is that. So much talent right there.”

“So awesome.”

Some joked that the “Pulp Fiction” star should have come up on the stage and showed off some of his dance moves, as he had done at the Oscars.

“John, you should’ve run out on stage and tripped out the whole audience … a night to remember.”

Never say never. He also sings. Anyone remember “Grease?”
