John Travolta and the dance with Lady Diana: “Like in a fairy tale”

It was the November 9, 1985 when to White House a dinner was organized which they also attended John Travolta and lady Diana. The most memorable moment of that evening concerned the two of them. The actor and the princess joined in a dance that made them spin for fifteen minutes in front of the then president Ronald Reagan e alla first lady Nancy. Thirty-five years later, Travolta recalled that moment in an interview with Esquire Mexico: «I felt like I was in a fairytale».

A fairy tale that the actor, that evening, just did not imagine he was living: “I didn’t think they would ask me to dance with her», Said the 67-year-old. “It was a great privilege and an honor to do so. I said to myself: “I better give my all”. Which meant conducting the dance well and making sure we had a good time. But that was the easy part, the tricky thing was instead to greet Diana appropriately and ask her to dance“. Inviting a princess to dance, especially in the White House ballroom, would have made anyone nervous. But Travolta managed to do everything right.

“I remember that it was midnight and that the track was a dream. I approached Diana and I touched her elbow, inviting her to dance. She turned around and made me that charming and sad smile together, accepting my invitation. We thus found ourselves a dance together for 15 minutes, as if it were a fairytale. Who would have imagined that such a thing would happen one day? That’s why I was smart enough to imprint that moment in my memory like something magical and very special».
