John Travolta would rather be a pilot


Or planes and watches and movies and family.

Ultimately it was the latter, at the press conference that Breitling the watchmaker held for aviator-actor John Travolta, its brand ambassador.Ever the real pro, moderator Darryl David announced to the media "the four areas he will be happy to answer questions on".

Travolta is one of the genuinely nice guys around in Hollywood. (I've met him three other times before, for Pulp Fiction, Primary Colours, Qantas.)He had flown himself, wife Kelly Preston, daughter Ella and son Benjamin, from his backyard in Florida to Singapore on Sunday to launch Breitling's latest model, the Navitimer Blue Sky.

Just so you know, he's clocked 6,000 hours (flying, not dancing) thus far, and is qualified to fly the 747.He can literally walk from his living room to his 707 or Bbombardier. (He owns five aircraft.) "Like I did to come here.""I love your city, and I've brought my family this time. So tomorrow we are going to do some sightseeing." (In a limousine.)

Any chance of shooting a film here then?

"I've done Savages for Oliver Stone, and Killing Season with Robert De Niro, and next is a remake of The Killer for John Woo.
"I hope we can talk John into doing some of the shooting in Asia, that would be great."What about a superhero movie? Asked what kind of superhero he would play, he said: "Definitely a guy who can fly." Of course.

Time for just one last question and the girl in the furry skirt (from a daily paper) almost silenced the room with wanting to know how he and the family were, and how they were coping with the allegations.Without skipping a tick of his Breitling, Travolta said, "My family's fine, and we're travelling for business and pleasure" and it was goodbye.

So how's Benjamin? He said: "Oh, he's wonderful."

I asked if Ella was going to do another movie, to which he replied: "Oh yes, I'm trying to get her to do a film called The Optimist. But she's not sure and I don't want to force her."
