John Travolta celebrates the late son Jett
John Travolta celebrated what would have been the 33rd birthday of his late son Jett with an emotional Instagram post on Sunday.
The “fat” star shared a photo of himself holding his little son, who died in 2009.
“Happy birthday Jett, I miss you very much!” Travolta wrote, adding: “I love you forever!”

Travolta previously called the death of his son “the worst that has happened in my life” and said that “I didn’t want to wake up” after Jett’s death.
“The truth is that I didn’t know if I was going to achieve it,” said the actor during an interview on stage at the Royal Dury Lane theater in London, through the BBC. “Life was no longer interesting for me, so it took a lot to improve me.”
John Travolta and his wife, actor Kelly Preston, welcomed Jett in 1992. The two also share a daughter, she Travolta, who was born in 2000.
After the death of Jett, Travolta and Preston they had another son, named Benjamin, in 2010.
