John Travolta remembers the very controversial dance with Lady Diana: It was like a fairy tale

In November 1985, Lady Diana and John Travolta were invited to an evening by the president of America at the time, Ronald Reagan, and his wife, Nancy. The rail was wearing a black suit, while Diana was wearing a blue - blue - blue brocade dress accompanied by a string of sapphire stone and pearl. Diana and Travolta danced under the sound of film “Saturn Night Fever”, one of the movies that put Travolta into the spotlight. Their dancing, highly discussed at that time, is one of the most important moments in actor's life.

In an interview for Esquire Mexico, 67-year-old reminded of the dance, which he said was not prepared to dance with Princess Wales.

I didn't think I'd be asked to dance with him. It was a privilege and a great honor to dance and I thought, "There must be a reason and I'd rather give my best. That meant running the dance well and having fun. That was the easy part, but only the fact of the right greeting to Diana, being self-confidence and the demand to dance was a complicated task. ” he said.

The trauma indicated that the moment experienced as a “fairy tale” that would continue to remember for decades to come.

Try thinking simply about location. We were at the White House. It was midnight. The stage is like a dream. I get close, I touch her elbow, I invite her to dance. She turns around and gives me that sexy, sad smile and accepts the invitation. And then we were there, dancing together like it was a fairy tale. ”

The actor added that he never imagined that would happen. “Star Saturn Night Fever” discovered earlier that it was Nancy Reagan who told her that Princess Diana wanted to dance with her. In another interview, in “Good Morning America” in 2016, Travolta was asked if there was anything from the '80s that he would like to bring back. He said he'd like to dance with Lady Diana again.

At that time, Diana's dance in the company of a Hollywood star caused not a few comments, and today, Victor Edelstein's dress is considered one of clothes Let her run away.
