John Travolta is a time traveler? Evidence may be on eBay

eBay

John Travolta: Time traveler? A new photograph being sold through an eBay auction claims to be definitive proof that the actor has been jumping between decades.

Pictures: John Travolta

"For those of you who don't know, John Travolta is a Scientologist and many Scientologists believe in a type of reincarnation. Of course, time travel can't be ruled out as well," the seller wrote in the auction's description. Buyers are being asked  to cough up $50,000 to own the photo.

"The thing that I always found striking about this photograph and I'm sure that you will too is the amazing identical eyes, hairline and most importantly John's very unique trademark chin," they added.

Travolta joins a list of recent celebrities accused of having paranormal or science-fiction based abilities. A photograph from the 1870s of a man who looks strikingly like Nicolas Cage was reportedly evidence that the actor was a vampire. Cage has yet to deny those claims.

While we aren't sure about the veracity of the photograph, we strongly do not believe that Travolta has magical time traveling abilities. If he did, he probably would have prevented Vincent Vega, his character in "Pulp Fiction," from ever entering a bathroom.

Good Grief, it is called a doppleganger and everyone has at least one. It is nothing more than someone that LOOKS like him.

If John Travolta was truly a time traveler he would have gone back in time and stopped himself from making Battlefield Earth. That is solid proof he is no time traveler.

I've heard it speculated that John is not from this planet, but not of this time? Damned good actor though.... in his limited range....

Wow. What a cost-effective way to get some additional publicity -- the mark of a celebrity actor who is definitely up on his game.

Photo does not look like John Travolta. He's more likely to be a distant relative than a irresponsible time traveler. Remember, everyone today descended from only a few million families. haha

If anyone could time travel, why go BACK in time at all?

"Cage has yet to deny those claims."

If it were me, I probably wouldn't feel such an accusation warranted a response either.

I think ol john doesn't need the money as bad as he needs some good ol religion. This is actually quite humorous.I have old tin type that looks like me but belongs to my grandfather and dressed in his traditional tribal dress. That doesn't mean he time traveled .It just means the genes are strong in the males in our blood line.There is someone who will buy this tin type and want all his friends to belive it is john because if they asy they don't the champagne fountain gets turned off and the cocaine jar locked in the vault.
