John Travolta Gushes Over 'Breathtaking' Hollywood Actress: 'One Can Only Dream'

John Travolta is expressing his admiration for one specific Hollywood actress—and he's not shying away from sharing how big of a fan he is of her work.

During a recent chat with two of Australia's leading real estate professionals for upcoming podcast, Beyond the Sale , the legendary actor admitted he "loves" Margot Robbie , 34, specifically after watching her in the 2011-released American airline drama series, Pan Am .

"Margot Robbie... oh my god, one can only dream," he told audio show hosts Shane Spiteri and Kirsty Cunningham , per HELLO! "I just love her, and she was in one of my favorite series called Pan Am ."

In fact, the 70-year-old even recalled the first time he encountered Robbie in person. "I met her for the first time at the Oscars two years ago and I said, 'I saw your series Pan Am , you know, it was so good, you were so good, I heard you always wanted to be a flight attendant?'"

Remembering her response, Travolta continued, "She said, 'No! I always wanted to be a pilot!' and I said, 'Really?' I said, 'That's really interesting.'"

His adoration for the Barbie star only makes sense, given his fascination with aviation. The Grease icon, himself, is a fully qualified pilot, often flying his own Boeing 707 jet.

During his overseas visit to the Sydney-based podcast, he continued to gush of the Focus actress, "And she wanted to be a pilot," which he admitted, "Made me like her even more—and, she's gorgeous, just breathtaking."

The full audio show episode will "run next month," according to a press release .

Sadly, the widower lost his wife, Kelly Preston , in 2020. The Cat in the Hat actress—with whom Travolta shared his three children: late son Jett , daughter Ella Bleu , 24, and young son Benjamin , 13—passed away at the age of 57 after a battle with breast cancer.
