The popular actor explained how one of the factors of his choice was Quentin Tarantino being a huge fan of his. “Quentin was such a die-hard fan of mine that he had this fantasy of working with me in something,” he shared. John revealed that it could've been another movie that Quentin cast him in but he “suddenly found its way into that movie.” Travolta explained how the famous director changed his “‘Maybe I won't go this way. Maybe I'll go the Travolta way, Because he had talked about From Dusk Till Dawn,” he shared Tarantino’s thought process. 

John disclosed his reservations about working in Dusk Till Dawn because he wasn’t interested in vampires. So when Quentin pitched Pulp Fiction to him, it was an immediate yes. The movie celebrated its 30th Anniversary event on April 18. The event was attended by Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, and Harvey Keitel. Travolta also attended the event with his daughter Ella.
