John Travolta‘s proving monetary know-how can repay massive … claiming he regarded over Quentin Tarantino‘s funds once they first met — and it modified his profession.
The legendary actor informed the story throughout Turner Traditional Films’ current occasion celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of the cult traditional … with Travolta joined by Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Tarantino and extra on the occasion.
As JT explains … his agent informed him QT was a giant fan and needed to fulfill with him, and John determined to go over to Quentin’s place for the massive first impression.
The day received off to a fairly bizarre begin … John says he knocked on the entrance door and realized he used to reside in Quentin’s house — completely describing the pad’s format.
From there, the 2 performed board video games based mostly on Travolta’s iconic movie roles … and Tarantino requested him to drop random strains like his characters from the flicks in the course of the sport. One other fairly on the market request.
Earlier than making a choice on whether or not he needed to work with Tarantino, Travolta requested to look over his ledgers … and, he say they chatted about cash for a bit.
Welp, turns it out it was the suitable transfer … ‘trigger Quentin referred to as days later and provided him the Vincent Vega half within the movie.
John says when he requested why Tarantino needed him for the position, Quentin mentioned it is due to the philosophical manner he ruminated over the funds … displaying traits he needed within the Vega character.
BTW … many individuals credit score ‘Pulp’ for energizing Travolta’s profession. The dude made some fairly dangerous films within the late ’80s/early ’90s, and it sorta appeared like his star would possibly wane on the time earlier than “Pulp Fiction” put him again in A-Checklist standing.
Ethical of the story … typically balancing a checkbook can result in a heck of much more!
