DENZEL SAYS TRAVOLTA 'STRUGGLING' WITH SON'S DEATH: Washington spoke to grieving 'Pelham' co-star several weeks ago.(June 1, 2009)
*Denzel Washington recently spoke about a phone conversation held about two weeks ago with John Travolta, saying his co-star in the action thriller "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3" continues to grieve over the death of his son.
"Needless to say, he's struggling," Washington said at a press conference for the film on Friday. "So more than talking to him, I listened to him, for about two or three hours." Travolta's healing process is "going to take time," Washington said. "What can you say, really? Just be there as a friend, because he's such a sweet, sweet person. Our prayers are with he and his wife." Jett Travolta, 16, died unexpectedly in the Bahamas while the family was vacation in January, reportedly due to a seizure. Washington says his wife Pauletta was closer with Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston prior to their work on "Pelham" in 2008, but, "I know him pretty good now, I think." Their characters interact primarily through electronic communication, but both actors were on set for each other's scenes.
