‘The craziest Elvis scandal yet’: John Travolta fathering his great-grandson
The Telegraph
“This is the craziest Elvis scandal yet,” says public relations consultant Mark Borkowski. “It has extreme soap opera value. Elvis was the first real pop icon, and there’s still a continuing fascination about him and his family. Add in another famous and eccentric figure like Travolta, and it’s a total three-ring circus. The more celebrity ingredients, the richer the cake.”
Yet bizarre stories related to Elvis do often take root in the public imagination, observes Borkowski. “He was ‘Elvis the myth’ back in his day, too – he had [promoter] Colonel Tom Parker, his Svengali, burnishing his legend. It was pure showmanship. Then there was the tragic way that Elvis’s life ended, with the weight gain, the drug-taking and his grim death on the toilet. It tainted his legacy, sadly.”
