In August, while appearing on Kevin Hart’s Peacock talk showHart to Heart, Travoltaopened up about the emotional conversationhe and his son had after Preston’s death.
The star recalled that during a walk through their neighborhood late one night, Ben explained to him that he was afraid to lose him too. “He said to me once, ‘Because Mom passed away, I’m afraid you’re going to,’ " Travolta said.
“I said, ‘Well, it’s a very different thing.’ And I went through the differences about my longevity and her limited life,” theHairspraystar continued. “I said, ‘But you know, Ben … you always love the truth and I’m going to tell you the truth about life. Nobody knows when they’re gonna go or when they’re going to stay.’ "
“Yourbrother [Jett] left at 16. Too young. Your mother left at 57. That was too young. But who’s to say? I could die tomorrow. You could. Anybody can,” he added. “So let’s look at it like it’s part of life. You don’t know exactly. You just do your best at trying to live the longest you can.”
