Scientology helped me deal with son’s death: John Travolta
By ANIFriday, January 29, 2010
LONDON - Actor John Travolta credits the Church of Scientology with helping him cope with the tragic death of his 16-year-old son Jett.
The ‘Pulp Fiction’ star walked the red carpet in New York with actress wife Kelly Preston to promote his new film, ‘From Paris With Love’.
He spoke about how the family’s church has worked with them on healing, though he did not mention Scientology by name.
The star said the church has helped stabilise the family and that has allowed him to begin pursuing his acting career again.
“We work hard every day with our church on healing. And Kelly and I and Ella have all been working very hard and they’ve been helping us,” the Telegraph quoted him as saying, referring to himself, Preston and their daughter.
“Once you get yourself stable, then you’re able to reach out again, you know, and I think this whole year every day we’ve been working on stabilizing ourselves and it’s been successful so far,” he added.
Jett Travolta died last year following a seizure at the family’s holiday home in the Bahamas. (ANI)
