A Future Master

In a bar in Midtown Manhattan, Aaron and Kate Beckinsale sat on a sofa, watching the performance on stage.

"John Travolta really is an excellent dancer!"

Kate Beckinsale could not help commenting. Performing onstage was none other than Hollywood star John Travolta.

Aaron smiled. "He became famous through musicals in the first place!"
