In a snippet from an upcoming appearance on a new podcast called “Beyond the Sale,” hosted by real estate moguls Shane Spiteri and Kirsty Cunningham, Travolta gushed over a certain Australian actress when asked about his dream co-star.
“Margot Robbie… oh, my God, one can only dream,” he can be heard saying in a sneak peek from the episode, obtained by the Daily Mail. “I just love her, and she was in one of my favorite series called ‘Pan Am.’”
The actor went on to share that he actually met the actress at the Academy Awards in 2022, when he was able to express just how much he loved her on the show. Travolta said he told her “it was so good, you were so good.”
Robbie appeared on the short-lived series as flight attendant Laura Cameron for one season, before making a bigger name for herself in Hollywood with roles in “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “The Suicide Squad” and “Barbie.”
Travolta asked her when they met, “I heard you always wanted to be a flight attendant?” and was taken aback when she responded with “No! I always wanted to be a pilot!”.

The actor has famously been a certified pilot since the age of 22 and has taken aviation lessons since the age of 15. Travolta recently received his license to pilot a Boeing 737. He used his knowledge of planes to give Robbie some constructive criticism on one of her films.
“I said, ’You know in your movie [“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”] there was a mistake in it,'” he said on the podcast. “The Pan Am 747 didn’t start service until January ‘70, but [the movie is set in] the fall of ’69, and Leo DiCaprio is flying to Europe in a 747 — it wouldn’t have been possible.”
