Episode Details

John Travolta wore a beret and glasses to the Cannes Film Festival to promote his directorial debut, explaining the look was an homage to old school directors from the 1920s through 1960s like Otto Preminger and Eric von Stroheim. The 72-year-old actor, who has been making films for over 50 years, says the distinctive outfit will help him remember this milestone moment in his career when he looks back. He deliberately chose to 'play the part of a director' by adopting the classic directorial style that will distinguish this event from his decades of acting appearances.
