John Travolta looks fantastic no matter how his head looks. Recently, he’s been embracing the baldness and apparently that’s all because of Pitbull.

John told Lena Waithe, who guest-hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday, all about how it began.

“Your hair was pretty famous,” Lena started. “You had this, like, beautiful mane. And then you guys posted this picture … people kind of went a little crazy, it went viral, were you expecting that?”

“No! It’s just a haircut,” he replied, adding, “The last time I went this viral was when I mispronounced Idina Menzel’s name at the Oscars… It’s so much easier … I did a movie called From Paris with Love and I got used to it. So it wasn’t a total shock.”

“I became friends with Pitbull — you know all of us guys who do this have got to stick together — and both he and my family encouraged it.”

YAS!
