The French Hate Travolta!

travooolta.jpg

John Travolta's presence in France has got a few locals in a disapproving frenzy.

Travolta's From Paris With Love has suspended production after 10 prop cars were set on fire at the housing projects where filming was to be staged.

Cars are regularly torched in French housing projects as a sign of unrest. Most notably, the fires got out of hand during a long riot through the projects in 2005.

90 residents from the neighborhood were scheduled to appear as extras in the film.

But, for now, filming is at a standstill while the incident is investigated and the crew considers options.

Looks like the French aren't fond of Travolta - they certainly aren't fond of Scientology.

Who could blame them?

    13. 13

      WTF is up with his hair?!?



    14. 14

      Maybe the french are not fond of dudes with bad hair plugs?



    15. 15

      WTF!



    16. 16

      What's not to hate? Next time set him on fire.



    17. 17

      Wow, that hair is sprayed on, but it's better than that other wig.



    18. 18

      america hates travolta



    19. 19

      Who doesn't?



    20. 20

      Those are not French, they are MUSLIMS who hate Americans and yes, they set cars on fire and apparently, little girls and women after they rape them in basement project apartments. It's not John Travolta's presence, but the presence of muslims.



    21. 21

      Yes, yes we DO Hate John Travolta and his spray on hair!
      However, I must go back to the topic and stress that it is so incredibly inappropriate for him to be burning cars in the EXACT banlieu (suburbs) where the 2005 riots were held. Parisiens and French-alike have not yet recovered from the craziness that happened during that time and to have someone even imitate is very very wrong!
      Plus, Scientology is scary to us! LOL

      Re: kitten poo

      It's not the Muslims; it's the ignorance of people like the poster "kitten poo".



    23. 23

      He should do nothing.



    24. 24

      The only thing we like about Travolta is his way of dancing. He should danse more.



    25. 25

      oh shit i think you've posted the worst ever picture of him. he looks dead.



    26. 26

      he looks like a freakin vampire!



    27. 27

      Actually, they set the cars on fire because they wanted more money from Luc Besson.
      I don't think they care about John Travolta at all.



    28. 28

      Jonathan Rhys Meyers is in this film as well. Hopefully he is not going to be hated upon.

      that's funny because i'm french and i too hate travolta.



    30. 30

      Re: kitty poo

      How am i ignorant. Muslims do occupy the projects, they do kill girls routinely, someone did set a girl on fire in a basement because he didn't like her, and they did set cars on fire during the riots.

      Perez said it was john travolta's fault but really it is a religion that solves its disputes with violence against human beings and property. They were probably protesting the presence of americans in their projects.



    31. 31

      Did they torch any of Johnny's space ships?



    32. 32

      Mr cool has turned mr cold?



    33. 33

      It's not the French, it's the filthy North African boat people that torch the cars. france has one of the biggest problems with these scammin peddling dirtbags.



    34. 34

      WHO DOESN'T???
      WHAT A CLOSET CASE POLE SMOKER.



    35. 35

      the french hate the french. when i was in france, the french talk to rudely to each other. it's their way, to have nerve and be mean.



    36. 36

      John likes to walk around naked in the men's room at Bacara in Santa Barbara, he just want's some cock like everyone else.



    37. 37

      It is not the French that hate John Travolta…half the people living in St. Denis (where he is filming) are not even french!



    38. 38

      Ooh la la! C'est dommage. Mais Travolta est tres bizarre.



    39. 39

      Did Xenu zap all of the pigment out of his skin?



    40. 40

      One could never accuse me of francophilia but, when it comes to certain things, i must confess the French do have it together. Good food, good wine, cheese, fashion, national pride (even if they are pricks), and a profound recognition of the dangers of $cientology.



    41. 41

      Yikes - pasty white, Brillo pad hair, weird eyebrows.



    42. 42

      WTF IS WRONG WITH HIS FACE?



    43. 43

      all he needs to do to complete that hair do is sprinkle some birds eggs on it haha



    44. 44

      I feel like taking his face and rolling it out to make a crust for my pumpkin pie. What a carb face he has!!!!



    45. 45

      I hate him too, and I´m not even French.

      For the love of GOD…..you have the money. Do something with your head and the hair you have left



    48. 48

      Good god, he looks like a mime or a ghost with all that pasty makeup! Getting early for Halloween there John?? YIKES!!



    49. 49

      I, just like you, don't share the same beliefs as Scientology, but this is America; you can't bash people because of their religion, Perez. Just like you can't bash someone for the sexual preference. Learn tolerance and love and the World will be a better place.



    50. 50

      Perez we dont hate Travolta….Actually, we haven't seen him yet!
      ….but I am angry with Besson, the french director…
      He knew where he was about to film, how the area was, the social difficulties that he had to face….and now he is just surprised by the "true" reality…
      I do live near the place were the 10 cars were burn and the story is that the filming was canceled because some fucking idiots of young people burnt the staff cars so Besson just gave up just like french authorities usually did…
      I think that Besson is more disappointing than Travolta who don't know fren suburbs…And I don't think people mind of him being scientologist..

      This story just gave again another bad image of french suburbs in international media…

      Actually Kitten Poo- I'll tell you as an American, converted Muslim, (I'm also a military wife- my husband's in Afghanistan) Muslims don't solve their disputes with violence. Islam actually promotes peace. There are extremists and terrorists but there are people like that in every religion. I believe the Oklahoma bomber (a terrorist) was a Catholic infantry soldier. But it wouldn't be okay to say that all Catholics are trailer trash and solve their disputes by bombing places would it? I believe in the goodness of people of all races and religions, and you should too. Being an American means believing in equality. Otherwise, well, you like other ignorant people, don't believe in the Constitution.
