Scarlett Johansson is defending John Travolta and calls the image of him kissing her on the Academy Awards red carpet “an unfortunate still-frame from a live-action encounter that was totally sweet and totally welcome.”
In an exclusive statement to The Associated Press on Thursday, Johansson said: “There is nothing at all strange, creepy or inappropriate about John Travolta.” She called her former co-star of the film “A Love Song for Bobby Long” a “class act.”
Travolta greeted Johansson at Sunday’s Oscars with a kiss and his arm around her waist.
