John Travolta Applauds Timothee Chalamet For Tying His Box Office Record


John Travolta congratulated Timothee Chalamet for being the first actor to match his record for having two simultaneous box office hits

Travolta earned his badge of honor with Saturday Night Fever(1977) and Grease(1978), holding onto the record for 44 years before Chalamet’s equally impressive ticket sales. The actor admitted that taking on the role of Willy, made famous by Gene Wilder in 1971’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, was the “most physically challenging project” he’s ever done. Chalamet underwent a similar amount of rigorous filming while shooting Dune: Part Two, which, at one point, involved pretending to ride an enormous sand worm through the desert.
