John Travolta reassures fans after candid bedroom snap of dog Peanut in $10M Florida home sparks concern
John Travolta reassured his fans after sharing a sweet Easter photo featuring his dog Peanut and a chocolate Easter bunny.
The actor, 71, posted the photo of the yellow Chihuahua mix on his bed sniffing the Lindt treat wrapped in gold foil writing, 'Happy Easter from me, Ella, Ben and Peanut!'
Before adding: 'Not to worry, she won't eat the chocolate bunny.)'
As chocolate is known to be toxic to dogs, fans responded with relief at the message.
'That's good to hear - Happy Easter to you, too,' commented one relieved fan.
The Travoltas adopted Peanut after the pooch attended the Oscars with Jamie Lee Curtis in 2022.
The future Oscar winner was honoring the late Betty White, who died in December 2021, just weeks shy of her 100th birthday.
White was an avid animal lover, and her contributions were honored at that year's ceremonies, which included an appearance on stage with Curtis and Peanut, then known as Mac & Cheese.
After meeting and holding the pup backstage, Travolta lost his heart and made her a part of the family the following day.
'The day we adopted Peanut on Oscar night! She's brought the biggest joy to our family,' the Saturday Night Live star wrote next to a flashback photo in July 2024.
Family photos have given a small peek into the mansion Travolta shares with his children in Ocala, Florida, just a short flight away from the Church of Scientology's worldwide spiritual headquarters, known as Flag Land Base, in Clearwater.
According to an Instagram account called Mr.Tampa.Bay, the 7600 square foot home comes with its own private airport.
The estate includes five bedrooms, six bathrooms, an indoor gym, outdoor pool, a garden and a garage that can fit 16 cars.
Its estimated worth is $10 million.
Travolta is reprising his role professional thief Mason Goddard in Cash Out 3.
The thriller is currently being shot along the Mississippi Gulf Coast with work expected to continue through the end of this week.
The versatile star has also signed to star as mobster Johnny Roselli, in the film November 1963.
The thriller looks at the alleged connection to the assassination of President John Kennedy, by a crime group known as the Chicago Outfit.
Bonnie Giancana, the daughter of Tampa based mobster Sam Giancana, who was affiliated with the Chicago Outfit, has contributed to the script.
Mandy Patinkin, Robert Carlyle and Dermot Mulroney are also taking part in the project being directed by Roland Joffee.

Jamie Foxx delivers heartfelt speech at BET Awards thanking daughters who helped his stroke recovery
Jamie Foxx let the tears flow while accepting the Ultimate Icon Award at the BET Awards on June 9. After being introduced by Stevie Wonder, the Oscar winner opened on a note of gratitude. 'Man, we used to take this thing for granted — that God is good,' he began his speech. 'I cannot even begin to express the love that I feel from everybody out there,' he continued. Foxx, who revealed in his 2024 Netflix special 'Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was...' that he had suffered a brain bleed that led to a stroke in 2023, expressed appreciation at his good fortune, noting he thought there was a time he could've been included in the show's in memoriam segment. 'I got to be honest ... When I saw that in memoriam, I was like, 'Man, that could've been me,'' he said. 'But I don't know why I went through what I went through, but I know my second chance, I'm not going to turn it down,' he said while getting emotional. 'I'm not going to turn down. I have so much love to give. I told Him, I said, 'Man, bro,' I said, 'Just give me one more crack at this and I promise.' I said, 'Whatever reason you put this on me, I promise I'm (going to) do right. And I'm (going to) do right in front of y'all, because I know a lot of times, when we get on we forget about where we come from,' he said. Later, he turned his attention to his family, starting with his sister, Deidre Dixon, who was at the show. He thanked her for helping save his life. 'When I went through what I was going through, she shut it down. And she made sure that she took care of her brother,' he said. The 'Ray' star also paid tribute to his two daughters. 'My beautiful daughter, Corinne, I cannot say enough about you. You've always taken a backseat to everything. But when you needed to drive it, you drove. And you made sure I was here ... At a certain point, I'm going to stop crying, but I'm not going to stop just yet,' he said, fighting tears. Foxx then turned his attention to his other daughter, Anelise. 'Anelise Estelle Foxx, my baby with the big hair. She hides under that hair because she got something special. You're so beautiful, man,' Foxx said. 'When I was fighting for my life in there, I got to say this. They said, 'We're going to lose him because his vitals are bad.' And I didn't want my 14-year-old to see me like that. 'But Anelise overheard the conversation and she snuck into my hospital room with her guitar and said, 'I know what my Daddy needs,'' he continued. 'And as she played the guitar, my vitals dropped. And I realized that God was in that guitar. And the nurses ran in and said, 'What did they give him?' My daughter said, 'Shh, I've got him.'' During his Netflix special, Foxx talked about how Anelise helped save his life when she played the guitar for him in the hospital. 'You know what I found out? It was God in that guitar,' he said. 'That's my spiritual defibrillator.' She then walked onto the stage with her guitar and they hugged.

King Charles told Conclave author he watched papal selection film
King Charles told Conclave author he watched papal selection film Robert Harris, 68, was formally made a CBE by Charles for services to literature in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday King Charles III and Queen Camilla on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during Trooping the Colour on June 17, 2023 (Image: Mark Cuthbert / UK Press via Getty Images ) The author of the hit novel turned Oscar-nominated picture Conclave said the King revealed to him that he has watched the film. Robert Harris, 68, was formally made a CBE by Charles for services to literature in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday. Harris said it was "eerie" and "like an out of body experience" to see his 2016 book turned into a film, and then to see the papal selection process which he had researched in so much detail play out in May after the death of Pope Francis. "(It was) very odd, I suppose because I researched it very thoroughly, and really it's the sort of thing that can practically only be done in fiction because you have to have a lot of conjecture," Harris told the PA news agency. "And so it acted as a kind of primer for journalists and for people, so that was very strange. "And then, of course, the extraordinary fact that the new pope watched it on the eve of the conclave." Article continues below Pope Leo's brother John Prevost told NBC News his younger sibling had watched the film before the secret vote. Harris said the King also asked about his new book. "We talked a bit about Conclave, which he has seen," Harris said. "He's been reading my books for years, so it was nice to see him again." The journalist-turned-novelist also joked about how seeing the inside of Buckingham Palace could provide him inspiration for his future books. "There'd have to be some mystery in the throne room, yes, murder in the throne room! It's got possibilities." Harris said it was a "very generous gesture" to receive the honour and he had "never thought about it" before being asked. Author Dame Jacqueline Wilson was made a Dame Grand Cross for her services to the same industry at the ceremony. The 79-year-old former children's laureate is widely known as the creator of Tracy Beaker and has written more than 100 novels. "It feels like a dream," Dame Jacqueline said on receiving the honour. "I'm so pleased, so proud. "I was just totally taken by surprise. To be utterly truthful, I didn't even know this particular honour existed. I'm so proud and so overwhelmed. "If little girl Jacqueline could be told that I'd be standing outside Buckingham Palace with medals and a sash, she would have been astonished." Dame Jacqueline said the King was "jovial" and they laughed about getting her sash on over her "silly hat". "And I did thank him, and particularly also thanked Her Majesty the Queen, because she takes such an interest in children's literature, and that makes all of us writers feel very pleased," she said. Last year, Dame Jacqueline released her first adult novel since the 1970s as she returned to her beloved Girls series.
