John Travolta Introduced Himself to a Stranger at the Gym at 3 a.m.
"'Hi I'm John,' he said. That's exactly how it happened," the man told ABC News.
— -- Justin Jones was just off work and decided to hit the gym around 3 a.m. earlier in the week.
The Ocala, Florida, resident works late and sometimes heads over to the local Planet Fitness to get a quick workout in before heading home.
Two days ago, he was at the gym and a familiar face walked up and introduced himself.
"'Hi I'm John,' he said. That's exactly how it happened," Jones told ABC News.
The man was famed actor John Travolta, who lives around the corner from Jones.
"I said, 'Yeah, I know who you are!'"
"We had a fairly long conversation," Jones said about the 15-minute chat.
Jones has been watching some of Travolta's classic "Welcome Back, Kotter" episodes and he told him he was a fan.
"He seemed very flattered by that," Jones added. "He asked a lot of questions about if I was married and If I had kids. The time just flew by."
To share the news with his wife, Jones didn't tell her when he got home or the next morning, he made it a surprise.
"I went on my Facebook and posted it as my profile pic," he said. "She asked, 'What the hell happened last night?'"
