John Travolta might have been known for his slick dance moves in Saturday Night Fever and Grease, but it seems that he’s finally succumbed to classic dad dancing.
The actor, 64, showed off a series of awkward moves as he jumped up on stage to perform alongside rapper 50 Cent at a party in Cannes on Tuesday night.
After walking the red carpet with his family at the premiere of his new film, Gotti, earlier in the evening, the Pulp Fiction star was clearly in the mood to celebrate.
But while 50 Cent changed into a more suitable ensemble for the after party, Travolta decided to keep his black tuxedo on for the bash.
The actor was caught on video as he jumped up onto the stage to dance alongside ‘Fiddy’ as he performed his classic 2005 hit, Just a Lil Bit.
But despite his best attempts, Travolta’s awkward head bops and side shuffles didn’t go down too well with viewers when the video hit social media.
