Travolta vs Timberlake

Saturday Night Fever star John Travolta has to give it to Justin Timberlake for taking his dance moves and perfecting them.

When asked if he sees himself in any of the young music or movie hotshots around, the 53-year-old actor told MTV that the ‘N Sync singer turned SexyBack solo superstar was guilty of a bit of choreographic theft.

“Justin Timberlake does have my moves, for sure,” the Pulp Fiction actor said. But the original JT can’t hold that against the young popster who he tips for the top. “I have to give him the kudos for that. There’s nothing holding that boy back,” John added.

And we could be seeing more of Travolta’s dance moves as, thirty years since he played the iconic roles of working guy turned-disco king Tony Moreno and T-bird Danny Zuko, he returns to the big screen for more musical glory. Playing the role of Edna Turnblad in the film adaptation of the Broadway hit Hairspray John will star alongside Michelle Pfeiffer, Queen Latifah and Christopher Walken where he may get a chance to shake his stuff once more.

Might want to get a patent for that, John.
