LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: John Travolta’s height has mostly been listed online as 6ft 2 inches (1.88 m/188 cm).

The acclaimed actor, known for movies such as ‘Grease’, ‘Saturday Night Fever’ and ‘Pulp Fiction’, is also famous for his good looks.

Travolta has such a huge fan base that even the late Princess Diana could not resist dancing with him back in 1985.

Recalling the incident, Travolta said ‘In Their Own Words: Diana, Princess of Wales’, per PEOPLE, “Nancy Reagan tapped on my shoulder and said, 'The princess, her fantasy is to dance with you. Would you like to dance with her tonight?’”

“And I said, 'Well of course,’” he stated, before mentioning the actual moment. “The whole room cleared. We danced for what felt like 15 minutes,” he said.

Though Travolta is a huge fan of the late princess, he did not appear to like their height comparisons.

Travolta’s height in his own words is 6ft (1.82 m/ 182 cm). His height is more than the average height of American male, which is reportedly 5ft 9 inches (1.75 m/ 175 cm).

Per Celebrity Heights, he said, “It was clearly planned. I knew it would be an attention-grabbing moment and I had three hours to sweat.”

“I’m six feet tall. I think with heels she’s probably my height. Tall woman, and slender – so the illusion is tall,” the 69-year-old star added.

How much did John Travolta weigh for 'Grease'?

Apart from Travolta’s height, the actor’s weight has also always been a point of discussion among his fans.

In 1998, when ‘Primary Colors’ was released and 1978's ‘Grease’ was re-released, Travolta looked completely different in both movies.

As per reports, for ‘Primary Colors’ the actor was nearly 211lbs (95 kg). However, for ‘Grease’, he weighed 165lbs (74 kg).

What was John Travolta's biggest movie?

‘Saturday Night Fever’ is said to be one of Travolta’s biggest movies.

Donald McLean of Bay Area Reporter had said, “John Travolta is far better than any previous exposure would indicate; his Tony Manero is suitably tough and punkish, but there is also a warmth and vulnerability that make him very appealing.”

Is John Travolta a billionaire?

Besides Travolta’s height and weight, his net worth is also something fans are very interested in.

Reports stated the ‘Two of a Kind’ star's net worth has been estimated at nearly $250M in 2023.
