John Travolta’s Strange Onstage Behavior With Idina Menzel at the Oscars Was Rehearsed

John Travolta‘s behavior at the Oscars was just, well, creepy.

During Sunday’s ceremony, John, 61, and Idina Menzel, 43, appeared onstage to present the honor for Best Original Song and the pair made light of the actor mispronouncing the ‘Frozen’ star’s name at last year’s awards.

Then, the ‘Grease’ alum began strangely touching Idina’s chin and caressing her face — a move that John’s rep claims was all rehearsed.

“It was rehearsed in total,” his rep explained. “John Travolta loved working with Idina Menzel. John had a great time at the Oscars because his wife, Kelly Preston, and his daughter, Ella, were in attendance with him.”

The actor’s rep also made note of John’s touchy-feely moment with Scarlett Johansson on the Oscars red carpet and said the weird side hug was all in good fun.
