John Travolta in 'From Paris With Love': Mr. Clean or Genie?

I know John Travolta’s supposed to look like a gun-toting badass FBI agent in his new film, From Paris With Love (see trailer), but all I can think of when I see the commercials on TV is how much he resembles Mr. Clean. It’s uncanny, really — he’s even got a single earring in his left ear. It’s as if he’s about to materialize into my kitchen and mop my floors. Lemon fresh!

Alternatively, he also looks like he’s about to burst into song and grant me three wishes a la the Genie in Aladdin. Though in terms of questionable facial hair, he’s got a goatee instead of a chinstrap (thankfully).

I think the photo speaks for itself, PopWatchers, but do you agree with my assessment? Who else do you think Travolta looks like in From Paris With Love?

      The first time I saw the trailer I thought, “WOW who is that hot tough lookin’ Vin Diesel-type dude” and then I saw it was Travolta. MAJOR disappointment. I’ll probably go see it though, because “TAKEN” was so awesomely good.

        Does he wear a piece?

      You Quispy are my favorite post of the week!!! You are dead on and made me laugh! Thanks for that

  • Ted

    Wow is that the name of that movie? Every time the commercial comes on all i can focus on is that chrome dome. From watching the trailer this movie should have been called xXx 3:From Paris with a Mid-Life Crisis

    • ba’al

      HAHA-good, felt the same way

  • J.

    He looks like a loser!

  • Viv

    I think he looks badass. I’d like to see a picture of you Jean. I bet you’re a real looker. Actually I know you are not. Unfortunately we can’t say you have a nice personality either.

      Wow. That was uncalled for. It’s a *humorous* article. Read it again–no one called Travolta ugly. No need to pick on the author’s looks (who you presumably haven’t ever seen).

  • Sienna

    He’s Mr. Clean! That’s exactly what I thought when I saw the trailer. And then I tried to come up with a spoof movie title or tagline and failed miserably.

  • Madd

    Mr. Clean, of course! I’m sure he’ll be a badass in the movie but it’s kind of a hilarious look for him.

  • Barry

    He looks like he’s going to kick your a$$ Jean!

  • Jackie

    He looks like a gay pirate.

  • Dale Arden

    I was thinking he looks more like Emperor Ming from Flash Gordon, myself….

  • me

    Sheesh, how old is the author of this article?

    • Sue1

      I hesitate to even call it an article…..

  • maxwell19596

    He’s the new Kojack. “who loves you baby…” hee hee, I too never noticed the name of the movie, I was too busy laughing at the goofy trailer.

  • V.M.L.

    I never thought he looked good with that beard and bald head. Bad.

  • MQ

    The first time I saw Travolta’s picture, I thought he was playing a bear. As in a gay hairy male. Just sayin.
