John Travolta was surprised with an honorary Palme d’Or at the 79th Cannes Film Festival last night. The 72-year-old actor was shocked, emotional, and visibly taken aback by the unexpected announcement, saying: “This is beyond the Oscar.” “This is a humbling moment, so thank you from the bottom of my heart…” he said with teary eyes before receiving a massive round of applause from the crowd.
