John Travolta, the iconic actor known for his dancing skills in films like Grease and Saturday Night Fever, recently made headlines for a dance performance at Italy’s Sanremo Music Festival. During a special guest appearance, Travolta was asked to recreate some of his most famous dance moves, including the iconic ‘You Never Can Tell’ scene from Pulp Fiction. He also danced to the Bee Gees’ «Saturday Night Fever» and joined a group of dancers wearing large yellow duck costumes for the ‘Il Ballo Del Qua Qua,’ commonly known as the chicken dance.

The unusual performance left viewers and social media users baffled, with many expressing confusion about why John Travolta was doing the duck dance on live television. Despite the initial spectacle, it’s reported that Travolta declined permission for Italian state TV to further broadcast scenes of him performing the dance. The actor has not publicly commented on the matter, but there is no trace of the duck dance on the TV or social media channels of broadcaster RAI. The co-presenter claimed that Travolta was aware of and agreed to everything that happened during the show.
