    How can you be so down to earth and be involved with something as insane and dangerous as Scientology?
  • @jeremiahvik2472
    John Travolta's (and Cruise's) experience with Scientology is a whole lot different than a non-celebrity.

    Huge credit to Jonathan Ross for asking the questions we wanted to ask and yet keeping the show light and moving. What he’s doing here is a tightrope walk and he’s damn good at it. He was hugely criticized for earning large sums but here we are, decades later, still consuming this content. He really was great at that job.

    Ricky Gervais and John Travolta explaining scientology ... if that's not a recipe for disaster I don't know what is 😂
  • @jeanneganrude8549
    Funny how I’ve never heard about Scientologists lending a helping hand during natural disasters, like Travolta says. 5 months later: I didn’t know I’d start a tiny war. I have nothing against JT and if he’s flown these missions of mercy, I’m sorry for questioning it. I thought it’d be big news we’d have all heard about it. I may have judged him because of my aversion to Scientology and I regret thinking of him only in that light (or dark maybe). He’s apparently a good generous soul despite his religious choices, Scientology, which I do not consider a religion, but a cult. Needless to say, I never wanted to cast aspersions on him in particular, only on Scientology.

    I'm not a scientologist but I've met and worked with JT for many years and regardless of his religious beliefs I'll tell you he's an absolutely lovely genuine guy.

    John Travolta is an actor. He knows what to say and do to come across as being normal.
  • @Cheximus
    Damn, that body language at the beginning. Palm on his face, leaning on his elbow. He's thinking "why the fuck did I agree to this?!"
  • @user-cx2pc4bs3c
    I met John many years ago at the Scientology complex in Fl. We were hanging out at the coffee bar, smoking cigars, and having a coffee. What a nice guy. Since then I left Scientology. I hope that he does the same.

    3 blokes having fun, we need more of this.

    I love Jonathan Ross,the perfect interviewer!! I love the way he can turn around awkward moments!
  • @leslie4551
    Interesting how he crosses his arms when talking about scientology but is completely comfortable all other times.
  • @medusathorn195
    I love how Ricky Gervais saves Travolta from the rude prenup question. He diffused it really well. Got to love Ricky
  • @AbsolutelyPeter
    I like John Travolta; he seems very sympathetic. He certainly has had his share of difficulties to overcome, and fighting his personal struggles has made him humble and reasonable. Yes, I like this man.
