John Travolta opened up about how the plane he was flying almost crashed due to an engine failure, BBC reported Friday.
During a recent London screening of his short movie “The Shepherd,” Travolta shared a near death experience while he was piloting a plane with his entire family onboard, according to BBC. The 69-year-old actor, renowned for his role in “Grease” and an Oscar recipient, is also a skilled pilot.
Travolta’s ordeal parallels the plot of “The Shepherd,” based on Frederick Forsyth’s 1975 novel. The film depicts a young Royal Air Force pilot, played by Ben Radcliffe, with electrical failure in his plane. This coincidence resonated with the actor, who faced a similar life-threatening situation, per BBC.
