Amid ongoing speculations over whether the actor had plastic surgery or simply changed his diet and lifestyle, a report from Media Take Out has disclosed that Travolta's youthful change is actually due to a highly exclusive, innovative surgical technique.

According to plastic surgery experts, this procedure is a unique “micro-facelift” that depends on facial fat transfer techniques.

This method enhances the cheekbones, smooths out deep wrinkles, and brings back the youthful volume without appearing rigid or unnatural.

One user compared Travolta to Tom Cruise, joking that the two stars refuse to age. "Well he is in the same cult Tom Cruise is in and that dude doesn't age either," the user wrote.

In an interview with CNN, the actor revealed the reason behind wearing a beret at Cannes.

“The old school directors wore berets and glasses. And I thought, that's what I'm doing. I've been around for over 50 years doing movies, but I can't tell, when I look back, the difference between the events,” he said.

“And I said, ‘I'm a director this time. You're an actor, play the part of a director. Look like an old school director,” Travolta explained.
