LOS ANGELES — Post Oscars, John Travolta grabbed the spotlight for some "creepy actions" at the prestigious film awards ceremony. Scarlett Johansson, who has acted with Travolta in "A Love Song for Bobby Long," defended the 61-year-old star.
Travolta greeted Johansson on the red carpet with a kiss and his arm around her waist, which looked awkward, but the 30-year-old actress said it was a "pleasure" meeting the actor and the whole thing has just been taken out of context.
The photo has since been turned into an Internet meme.
But Johannson said the image doesn't reflect the moment, calling it "yet another way we are misguided, misinformed and sensationalized by the 24-hour news cycle."
In an exclusive statement to The Associated Press, Johansson said "there is nothing strange, creepy or inappropriate about John Travolta." — Agencies
