 John Travolta, still devastated by the death of his son Jett earlier this year, has delegated the media promotion for their new movie The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 to co-star Denzel Washington. The Saturday Night Fever star’s 16-year-old son died in January after suffering a seizure while on a vacation in the Bahamas with the family; Jett’s death, and the surrounding investigation, occupied the headlines for months, and Travolta is still struggling with the tragedy. According to Washington, who has been speaking to Travolta by phone of late, Travolta often breaks down in tears, and has decided not to help promote the upcoming remake of the ’70s thriller while he’s still so fragile emotionally. Explains Washington, “One moment he’s okay and the next he’s in tears… Needless to say, he’s struggling. So more than talking to him, I listened to him, for about two or three hours. “What can you say, really? Just be there as a friend, because he’s such a sweet, sweet person. Our prayers are with he and his wife.” |
