Cannes 2018 John Travolta’s Cannes hair, Cannes moves We have, over the years, enjoyed reporting on John Travolta’s hair. His hair has been spray-painted, shellacked, and the hairline has gone through some fascinating changes. The colour, for example, was so dark at one point, Elvis Presley would have been jealous.
