Travolta: No Need to Thank Me-I Was Happy to Help.
Sunday, November 30th, 2008Tom Hanks’ back-to-back Best Actor Oscars in 1993-94 for Philadelphia and Forrest Gump were just a time killer while he was waiting to be bestowed the greatest gift of all…a career courtesy of John Travolta. Travolta’s rejection of the lead in the 1999 film The Green Mile was what really opened doors for Hanks. Not Bosom Buddies, Splash, or Big. Or two Academy Awards won over half a decade prior to the release of Green Mile. It was all about John Travolta saying “Thanks, but no thanks.” Tom Hanks must just wake up every day saying “I owe every success I have to Freddie Mercury John Travolta.”
Now if America’s favorite Scientologist could just say “no” to hair in a can…
Here’s Revolta’s official arrogance:
“Green Mile I probably should have said yes to… But I gave…Tom Hanks a career! What you turn down can be a gift to someone else.”
