Co-stars connected on set of thriller movie

John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers connected on the ‘From Paris with Love’ set.

The action thriller, which tells the tale of undercover agent Charlie Wax (Travolta) and James Reece (Rhys Meyers) attempting to stop a terrorist attack in Paris, was great to work on for Travolta as the pair got on so well.

He said: “The chemistry is never predictable and fortunately we got on like wild fire.

“We both have the gift of the gab and we were talking incessantly between takes to get to know each other and to exchange ideas. We are both very communicative. I think it was organic.”

Rhys Meyers was also excited to work on the film, as he had idolised Travolta since seeing him portray disco dancer Tony Manero in 1977 movie ‘Saturday Night Fever’.

He told the BBC: “When you are about five or six years old you play stupid games, and we used to all try to copy Tony Manero walk with the paint can, and we thought that was cool, so everybody would try and walk the same way and be cool. I always won.”
