John Travolta is looking back at an iconic moment in history!

In a new interview with Esquire Mexico, the 67-year-old Grease actor looked back at dancing with Princess Diana back in 1985 at a White House party thrown by then-President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan.

“I didn’t think they’d ask me to dance with her. I had the great privilege and honor of doing so, and I thought, ‘There must be a reason for doing this and I better give it my all,’” John revealed.

“That meant lead the dance well and make sure we had fun,” John added. “That was the easy part, but just the fact of greeting Diana appropriately, being confident and asking her to dance was a complicated task.”

John went on to call that moment with Diana a “fairytale.”

“Think of the setting. We were at the White House. It’s midnight. The stage is like a dream. I approach her, touch her elbow, invite her to dance,” John said. “She spins around and gives me that captivating smile, just a little sad, and accepts my invitation. And there we were, dancing together as if it were a fairytale.”

He added, “Who could ever imagine something like that would happen to them someday? I was smart enough to stamp it in my memory as a very special, magical moment.”

Also in the interview, John Travolta opened up about mourning the death of his wife Kelly Preston.

There was a time that Elizabeth Olsen almost went by Elizabeth Chase.

The 32-year-old WandaVision actress opened up to GlamourUK in a new interview about how she contemplated changing her name at the very beginning of her career as to not be associated with her famous twin sisters, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

“I was 10 and I was curious about auditioning,” Elizabeth explained. “And I realized very quickly it wasn’t for me because I was missing my sports teams, my dance class and all the extracurricular activities at school. But during that time, I thought, ‘I don’t want to be associated with [Mary-Kate and Ashley],’ for some reason.”

The idea of the name change came around the same time when she understood what “nepotism was like inherently as a 10-year-old. I don’t know if I knew the word, but there is some sort of association of not earning something that I think bothered me at a very young age.”

Elizabeth continued, “It had to do with my own insecurities, but I was 10. So I don’t know how much I processed, but I did think, ‘I’m going to be Elizabeth Chase when I become an actress.’”

Previously, Elizabeth opened up about how she wanted to carve her own path in the industry and also recalled her earliest memories about visiting Mary-Kate and Ashley on the Full House set.
