John Travolta, 71, surprised fans at a Grease sing-along event at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on Friday, June 27, by dressing up as his iconic character Danny Zuko from the 1978 film.
The actor, who starred opposite the late Olivia Newton-John in the musical film, took to the stage to loud cheers from the packed-out amphitheater, channeling Zuko's signature style and attitude.
"L.A., I thought you were going back to Australia? That's cool, that's cool, baby. You know, riding and rollin' and whatnot," Travolta said to the audience, before telling them to "enjoy the show" and expressing his love for them.
The surprise appearance was a thrill for fans, who were joined by fellow Grease cast members Barry Pearl, Michael Tucci, Kelly Ward, and Didi Conn, as well as director Randal Kleiser.
Travolta later posted a photo on his Instagram, showing himself dressed as an older version of Zuko, complete with gray hair and a black leather jacket. "No one knew. Not even the cast," he wrote in the caption.
This isn't the first time Travolta has revisited his iconic character. In 2019, he and Newton-John dressed up as Danny and Sandy for a Meet n' Grease sing-along event in Florida.
