John Travolta is famous for multiple things and his career has been a roller coaster of highs and lows over the years. But still, he has managed to continue to be one of Hollywood’s hottest icons.

Travolta has been exceptionally busy the past few weeks. He’s got a new movie coming out called “Gotti” and it is also the 40th anniversary of his hit movie “Grease.” Recently he appeared on “The Tonight Show” with Jimmy Fallon to discuss what he has going on right now.

Of course, they discussed Travolta’s new movie, but then Fallon turned the conversation to the anniversary of “Grease.” Fallon complimented Travolta profusely for his singing and dancing abilities and asked him about his signature dance move in the movie.

Travolta explained that the move was actually Travolta’s addition to the movie. “The four corners! Like in “Pulp Fiction,” I grew up in all these novelty dances. So in “Grease” they needed a step for “You’re the One That I Want” at the end,” said Travolta. “So I said, ‘Well, we used to do the four corners, why don’t we do that?'”

Travolta showed the choreographer the move and it became part of the dance. Travolta even took time to show Fallon how to do the dance, and even after all these years, he can still make the move look good.

“Grease” isn’t the only movie celebrating an anniversary. “Saturday Night Fever” came out in 1977 and while it’s not a special anniversary this year, it’s still an iconic movie. The opening sequence when Tony Manero orders a double decker slice of pizza has apparently turned the real Lenny’s Pizza into a tourist destination.

Travolta recently visited Lenny’s Pizza himself and got to try out the slice that was named in his honor. The best part of the trip might be that he wore a black shirt and white blazer, just like in the movie.

Check out the video of Travolta and Fallon as they try out the Four Corners dance move and be sure to share it with your friends.
