According to Planet Gossip at E! Online, the star of "Hairspray" has been asked by the show's director Gil Gates to do a waltz right before he presents the Best Original Song prize.
E! reported that Travolta is going to surprise the audience as he appears during singer Jon McLaughlin's "Enchanted" performance "So Close", takes one of the 30 dancers accompanying the singer and dances his way to the podium. Further, it was explained that the performance won't be an ordinary impromptu footwork as the movie star and the dancer will rehearse for a few hours on Saturday, February 23.
Regarding the surprise dancing rumor, the publicist for the 54-year-old actor didn't deny nor confirm the speculation. The publicist merely stated, "We have no idea what they've got planned for John this year. We won't know anything until we see Gil Cates at rehearsals this weekend." Meanwhile, the Oscar's representative refused to give comment on the matter.
