John Travolta’s ALLEGED (!!!) former lover Doug Gotterba is allegedly opening up to the National Enquirer this week. No, wait. Gotterba actually gave the Enquirer an interview? Yes, he did. Gotterba was John Travolta’s actual co-pilot for years and years, and it’s said that Doug and Travolta had a sexual relationship for six years. Doug says – in this new interview – that he and John definitely were together. And it was hot. And passionate. And dong-tastic.
John Travolta’s former gay lover is opening up for the first time about their passionate six-year-relationship — spilling all the secrets to the new issue of the National Enquirer. Former pilot Doug Gotterba, 62, claims that the 58-year-old big screen heartthrob’s sexual appetite was insatiable, that he wanted to make a sex tape, and that he enjoyed cavorting with multiple male partners at a time.
Gotterba tells the Enquirer that he met Travolta in February 1981 when the actor interviewed him for a pilot job and they soon became lovers.
“We flew into Monterey, Calif., and went up to the Highlands resort in Carmel,” Gotterba says. “We had a wonderful dinner with a fantastic bottle of merlot, and I got the sense I was being courted.
“As we walked from the restaurant back to the room, John suddenly said, ‘Hey, would you like a massage?’
“I’d already prepared myself for something like that, so I said, ‘Sure, why not? I went back to his room, showered and came out wearing only a towel. John said, ‘Okay, like down here on the bed.’ He gave me a massage – and it turned into something else! John was gentle, but very passionate. The next day, he told me with a big smile on his face, ‘I really enjoyed last night.’ And I told him, ‘So did I!”
From that moment, Gotterba says they became a couple and Travolta whisked him away to wherever he wanted. The last time Gotterba saw Travolta was in 1992. By that time the Hollywood hotshot had married Kelly Preston.
“They’d just gotten back from the Church of Scientology’s Celebrity Center in Hollywood when I arrived and John asked me to go with him for a walk on the beach,” Gotterba says.
“We were making small talk when suddenly, I blurted out, ‘So, John, tell me. Now that you’re married, do you still prefer men – or women?’ He looked me straight in the eye and said, ‘Well, Doug, I still prefer men!’ I said, ‘okay.’ And that’s the last time we saw each other.”
Oh, so this whole affair went down in the 1980s, and Doug claims that once Travolta got married, they never had sex again? I guess so. Which is… weird. So, I guess we’re supposed to believe that John Travolta had a long-standing gay lover for years in the 1980s, then he married a woman and after that he just did random hookups and assaults on strange men? Sure. I don’t have a problem believing that, I just wanted to clarify.
Travolta doesn’t know how to hold on to someone if it’s not crotch-to-butt.

All I can think of is that I want to putt on it. As in a golf green wiglet.
Also, I spent my first anniversary at the Highlands Inn, it’s gorgeous set into the mountain between Big Sur and Carmel. The memory is kinda gross now that I think of Johnny Boy and his massage.

JT, drop the wig and drop the beard! Sheesh! Nobody cares if you like men!

Its the contrast between very dark hair and very pale skin.

ya he should try out different looks – he either seems to go for the completely bald natural look, or this very fake dark wiglet. I’m sure there are better wigs out there he could try!

Travolta should have stayed with his lover, if he truly valued the relationship. I really hope he leaves the co$, kisses his heavily indoctrinated wife goodbye (on the forehead, if he preferes) and comes out of the closet. All of that while taking sole custody of the children.
Maybe Katie can also point him in the direction of the awesome lawyers who took care of her business?
I get the sense that if a celeb wanted to leave the co$, NOW would be the best and most favourable window.

Regardless what his sexual preference is, I still love him!!!!!

I believe it. In some sick and twisted way, JT, once married to a woman, couldn’t bring himself to commit adultery by keeping a ‘mister’ess” so he commits sexual assault over and over again under the guise of getting a massage. This man is a creep at so many levels, I wish a space pod would just whisk him on outta here so that the any future massages I may get I don’t have to wonder if the masseuses’ hands have been Travolta’d or not. Ewwwww.

Doesn’t it though?! That is the first thought that went through my mind when I looked at that picture, like I was mentally captioning the photo “Ew. Get your hands and dong off of me, you creep!” LOL

This should put an end to the debate of whether Travolta likes having sex with men. If this guy is lying, then he will be sued to high heaven – and he will lose. Of course, it won’t answer any questions about post-Gotterba, but at least Travolta won’t be able to deny his homosexuality or bisexuality anymore.

I agree,but what’s with her. Clearly she knows hers gay

I don’t trust the guy’s interview…he would not say in passing, after “making love”, “so, John, now that you’re married, do you prefer men or women??” That’s WAY too staged a statement , one that he made up for the Enquirer. Regardless, only a creep kisses and tells, even for money. Not a big Travolta fan. But the guy seems phoney, to me……I like the polka dot tie, but he’s not very photogenic, especially for an actor/whatever else he is…

I think you mis-read. The quote was
“We were making small talk when suddenly, I blurted out, ‘So, John, tell me. Now that you’re married, do you still prefer men – or women?’ He looked me straight in the eye and said, ‘Well, Doug, I still prefer men!’ I said, ‘okay.’ And that’s the last time we saw each other.”
It says nothing about “making love.”

Don’t know something doesn’t add up! And then that was the last ime I spoke to him really?

He would do so much more for the gay community than he’s currently doing for the heterosexual community if he just came out. It’s so 1950s Hooverish this storyline.

ya but if he has sexually assaulted men and Scientology has dirt on that, that might be keeping him from breaking free.

Does anybody remember the photo of Travolta kissing a guy on the steps of an airplane? Well, that’s the guy mentioned in this article. Come out already…no one’s buying the act.

That’s what I was thinking too but that photo is not from the 90s so then I was like “nah, can’t be”.
Makes sense though. A quick bootycall to a former lover.

That was actually Jett’s “nanny” and here’s a link to a story with the photo. At this point he is as out a you can be without standing in assless chaps on a Pride float. Come out already, Travolta!

Whenever I see pics of John Travolta, I can’t believe that he’s the same guy that used to have me drooling when watching him in Grease. I find him so unattractive.

I know, he really does seem like a different person altogether from those days. He has not aged well. At all.

I swear if he’s going to retire from acting, dude is going to open a “massage parlour”. OBSESSED! He has no game whatsoever.

Whose business is it if he chooses to stay closeted? The alleged assault are obvs not okay but it is his life, he can live it how he likes. Maybe it is more exciting pretending to be straight? Maybe he is a fundamentally straight guy who enjoys a good sensual massage from a dude? Who knows. There isn’t just one way to be just either straight, gay or bi…. there is a rainbow of possibilities out there

Very true – completely agree with this. Maybe he gets off on the secrecy too, who knows. As long as he’s not hurting others, there’s nothing wrong with it.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
But if all of these allegations are true, he IS hurting someone. Sexual assault is a not a party, you know.

I wonder if he regrets not coming out after Pulp Fiction. Can you imagine? He could have capitalized on his surge in popularity, and by now be living with someone he was actually sexually attracted to. He could have been open and honest about his life. I know it would have been incredibly hard, but still…
Of course, he’s probably a creepy predator, so maybe not…

What is the connection between obviously gay men who insist they are straight and CO$? I know CO$ forbids it or whatevs, but why are they drawn to CO$? The secrecy entices them?
