Travolta, Allen -- The Real "Skinny"

Posted Jul 26th 2006 12:20PM by Celly

John Travolta strips down to his bathing suit during the filming of his latest flick -- and the results aren't pretty.

The star -- whose bod is far from his ripped self in "Staying Alive" more than 20 years ago -- was in New Mexico filming the aptly named "Wild Hogs," about a group of suburban biker wannabes.

In one scene, Travolta and co-stars William H. Macy, Tim Allen, and Martin Lawrence go skinny-dipping in a local watering hole, only to be confronted by a naked gay man who tries to entice them into a game of marco polo.

Travolta isn't the only member of the cast who looks like he could use a Bally's membership -- check out Allen and Lawrence.

Of the four stars, Macy's physique is the stand out -- a good thing given the star's near-nude appearance during the shoot.

46. To SUZY NO I.Q. # 42. HELLO ? It becomes a health issue at his weight NOT EVERY MIDDLE AGED BIKER IS FAT. You don't have to become fat to play this part. . PLEASE!!! I never said he had to look like a male model or an ADONIS. JUst healthy would have been NICE. He doesn't have to keep his physic looking good. He just wont get the parts that he use to. I don't recall Harrison Ford ever looking like that. I still think it's pathetic.

47. It's ok. I'd rather see somebody happy and a little chunky - than some aneroxic star starving to death. All these chicks with their bony backs, ribs and stringy arms and necks - gross. We know heavy is bad. Middle age guys put on weight just like ladies do. As long as you don't need a forklift to get in and out of bed, or out of the tub, okey dokie.

48. For all of us people over 45, we know what a battle it is to keep fit without having to spend time in a fitness center. It's comforting to know that even movie stars have the same weight problems the rest of us .

49. So we are not as sharp as we where in the seventy's lucky for you. Did you know most of the songs listened to today on popular radio stations where written and sung by the very same artist today,BOSTON, PETER FRAMPTON, EAGLES,PINK FLOYD, NEED I SAY MORE. MOST ALL OF THEM WHERE FROM 70'S. There will come a day when you see a not so young you in the mirror but you still hear the song BRICK HOUSE IN YOUR MIND. ALL THE SUDDEN YOU'RE BREAKING DOWN, DOING THE ELECTRIC SIDE, AND THE ROBOT. And the kid in the doctors office thinks you're nuts.

50. Travolta is a shill for the criminal cult of Scientology.

51. Hey, we all get old. At least they looked great at one time (more than a lot of us can say).

52. Posters #37 & #50 - What in the world does Scientology have to do with this article? Wait a minute! I'm over weight, I like John Travolta, Tim Allen makes me laugh, oh my gosh, I must be a Scientologist! Okay, I see the connection.

53. uh, what's up with travolta's hair? looks like a piece.

54. Why is this even posted? Are people so desperate to be cruel that they are becoming idiots? These are middle-aged men playing people in the movie that have mundane, suburban lives. But as fat, ignorant guys who run internet gossip sites always have to do, let's try and make actors feel bad because that will make me feel better about myself! Because they're millionaires making movies and I'm eating a corndog and posting pictures of naked men nobody cares about.

55. Notice that all these men have skinny wives. Why is it that middle aged men can let themselves go and middle aged women can't. By the way, John Travolta looks revolta.

56. This artilce shows that TMZ hasn't much else to report at the moment. You mean that after 20 year even movies stars don't still look like teenagers lose the hard body edge?

Huh? Go Figure.

57. See, Travolta? That's what Scientology does to you.

58. Where's the beef?

59. Travolta's pic and the snide comments were shown to make fun of him. It was cruel and uncalled for. Few people are going to look like they did 20 years earlier. Tim Allen? He looks terrific and so do Macy and Lawrence. So Travolta doesn't look like a plastic pumped-up clone. He looks like a real man for his age and there's nothing funny or wrong with that.

60. Their bodies may not be tight, but it's all in the name of cutting edge humor, right? I mean, at least we'll get a HILARIOUS movie scene with a healthy dose of gay-baiting and homophobia out of it...
