Travolta touched by 60th birthday tribute

The Million Dollar Theatre in Los Angeles will hold a special screening of Grease to celebrate the US actor's 60th Birthday.

US actor John Travolta was overwhelmed when he found out that fans plan to celebrate his 60th birthday by hosting a special movie event in Los Angeles.

The Pulp Fiction star reached the milestone on Tuesday and fans in LA will mark the occasion by holding a massive movie singalong screening of his classic musical Grease, co-starring Australian Olivia Newton-John, at the Million Dollar Theatre in Los Angeles.

Travolta described the tribute as "sweet" and has told BBC Radio 2 that he regrets not being there for the special screening.

"I just learned today that they are celebrating my birthday in Los Angeles by doing a big screening of the singalong of Grease and I'm just touched by that. It's going to be very bittersweet that I can't be there, but there's also hundreds of people that want to do that - I thought that was really sweet," Travolta said.
