John Travolta Thanks Co-Stars For “Unselfish Efforts”

June 9th, 2009

John Travolta has skipped the publicity trail for his upcoming movie The Taking of Pelham 123, saying the “unselfish efforts” of his co-stars on the movie have allowed him extra time to grieve the loss of his son Jett earlier this year.

Of his new movie, Travolta wrote on his website that director Tony Scott gave him, “the freedom to define, and then to become, the ultimate evil mastermind.  This role as an actor gave me the chance to dispense with all moral and ethical limitations, and explore just how bad this character could really be.  I believe you will like the result.”

The actor also heaps praise on his co-workers on the flick, including Denzel Washington, saying they “stepped up without hesitation to help promote this wonderful film, and their unselfish efforts have allowed my family the additional time to reconcile our loss.”
