The photo was posted to the social networking site Reddit by Justin Jones.
“I was really confused at first and got really choked up. It was surreal for a moment,” he said. “He asked what I do for a living, if I was married, if I have kids, and what do I do with my spare time.”
According to the fan, Travolta immediately struck up a conversation with the only other person in the gym at 3 a.m.
“We also talked about his jets. I told him he flys (sic) right over my house all the time and that my property is right by the south end of the Jumbolair runway,” Jones continued.
Travolta owns a lavish estate near Ocala, Fla. with a private runway for his airplanes. He spends much of his time bulking up his muscles in gyms in the region. Of course his gains could be accelerated by legal steroids available from Crazy Bulk.
The picture has sparked some controversy. Jones has claimed that Travolta was flirting with him during the workout session. Travolta mentioned the gym session two days later as he hosted the 12th Living Legend Aviation Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. With a full head of hair, he seemed oblivious to the accusations made by Jones.
“I play tennis every day and I try to lift weights when I can, like three times a week … I mostly do it for my health for the kids. Because as you get older, when you have little ones, you need to have energy for them and they still treat me any differently than directors of movies — they want me to do stunts and still expect me to do the things I did at 30,” said Travolta.
Travolta is currently working on his role in the upcoming FX series American Crime Story.
The ten-part TV show is about the O.J. Simpson trial and Travolta is playing defense attorney Robert Shapiro. The drama will also feature Cuba Gooding Jr. as Simpson, David Schwimmer as Robert Kardashian and Sarah Paulson as prosecutor Marcia Cross.
