TORONTO — John Travolta said he knew at an early age what he would be doing as an adult — he just didn’t know his life would turn out to be as great as it is.
“I saw my life as an actor as a career and as an aviator,” he said in the second part of an interview that aired Thursday on Global’s The Morning Show. “I didn’t know what version it would be. It could have been summer theatre and a private pilot of some sort and that would have been it.
“The idea that what’s happened has happened is beyond my… but the seeds for that potential was always there.”
Travolta, who owns several airplanes (including a Boeing 707), was asked what he loves best about flying.
“What don’t I love is an easier question to answer,” he replied. “I love the feeling I have when I do it, I love the perspective I get on life, I love the sensation of flight, I love the distance it attains for you in a quick period of time.”

Travolta flew himself to Toronto in September to attend the city’s film festival, where he promoted The Forger. In the crime drama, he plays a father who loses his young son.
In 2009, Travolta lost his son Jett during a Christmas vacation in The Bahamas.
“I wore that through the movie but I don’t use that as a technique because it’s too personal, so I try to separate that idea.”
Travolta went on to talk about the acting techniques he learned from his mother Helen, a former actress and drama teacher.
The first part of the interview with Travolta aired Wednesday on The Morning Show.
