John Travolta claims he was Princess Diana's "Prince Charming".
The 59-year-old actor shared a famous dance with the late Princess of Wales - who died in 1997 during a car crash in France - at the White House gala dinner in 1985 and he insists he was able to take her back to her younger years.
He said: "There really was something lovely and girlish about her and I felt that I had taken her back to her childhood when she had probably watched 'Grease' [the musical Travolta starred in as Danny Zuko in 1978] - and for that moment I was her Prince Charming."
However, the 'Saturday Night Fever' star is adamant he wasn't nervous when he took the stunning royal into his arms because he'd watched how she'd dance with her husband Prince Charles - who is now married to Duchess Camilla - in the past.
He explained to the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "I'd seen her dance with Prince Charles beforehand so I knew that she was strong. But she looked like she was leading him and because I knew that the world was watching I thought that I really needed to give her certainty that I knew what to do. I put my hand in the middle of her back, brought her hand down so that it wouldn't be so high and gave her the confidence that we would do just fine.
"She was the real deal. And I think that was partly because she followed the rule that. 'it's OK to be important as long as everyone else is equally important."

Sam Faiers won't have a showmance with Ollie Locke.
'The Only Way is Essex' beauty insists her budding romance with the former 'Made in Chelsea' star isn't for publicity after getting close on 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
She said: "The whole showmance thing of, 'Oh, we're out of CBB now so let's go and do a set-up date', is not my style, and it's not Ollie's either."
Sam, 23, admits she and Ollie haven't yet discussed their feelings and despite being friends before the show, she wasn't aware of her own feelings for him.
She explained: "I was with Joey [Essex] before, so I never thought anything of it. It's too early to say. I've only just come out of a big relationship and I was heartbroken.
"He's lovely. After [the final] we went to the bar and we were with our family and friends, catching up. I left early so I said goodnight to him and gave him a cuddle, but we haven't spoken."
Meanwhile, Ollie says he wants Sam to be his girlfriend and thinks she's "down to earth".
He told new! magazine: "She's just an absolute sweetheart. She's lovely and she's not like other reality stars. She's very down to earth. She's very sweet. She isn't fame-hungry."

Sir Tom Jones thinks Emma Willis has a "great pair of pins".
The 'Sex Bomb' hitmaker, who is working alongside the presenter on talent show 'The Voice', complimented the pretty brunette's legs during filming for the BBC programme.
Emma said: "Tom is so great. The other day I wore a skirt to filming and and he leaned over and said, 'I like your outfit. You've got a great pair of legs on you.'
"Of course, then I ruined it by saying: 'Do you think so? I don't really like them. They look a bit like sausages.' Because back when I was a model, that was what a photographer once said about them."
The 73-year-old singer then had a second glance at Emma's legs and said he didn't agree with the snapper's comments.
The 37-year-old beauty said: "When I said that to Tom, he had another look and said, 'Oh no, they're a great pair of pins. And I know great pins.' It made my day."
And after dozens of compliments about her looks while presenting on 'The Voice' and 'Big Brother', Emma - who has two children Isabelle and Ace with husband Matt Willis - isn't concerned about turning 40 in a few years.
She added to Britain's Glamour magazine: "I like getting older because people take you more seriously. After all, 40 is the new 30. It's like a rebirth.
"You've been through the 'having young kids' stage, so you're not tired all the time and, professionally, you're more confident than ever."

Beyoncé is set to perform at this year's BRIT Awards.
The 'Drunk in Love' hitmaker will grace the stage at the ceremony for the first time in ten years, joining Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams, Arctic Monkeys and Ellie Goulding.
The 32-year-old singer was due to perform at the annual ceremony in 2013 but had to cancel because her new material wasn't ready but is reportedly on board for the event this month.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Beyonce is on. The only reason this has not yet been announced officially is because the Brits guys are nervous that it could all go wrong again.
"But what I can tell you is that in her camp it's 99.9 per cent on."
The star will also join Lorde, Disclosure, Rudimental, Bastille and Bruno Mars on February 19 at London's O2 Arena and organisers are hoping the show will be viewed by over 10 million people.
It has already been a successful year for the 'Single Ladies' hitmaker, who shocked fans by releasing her self-titled fifth studio album without any prior promotion.
The record, which was released exclusively on iTunes, conquered the charts and sold 828,773 copies in just three days.
Beyoncé stole the show at the Grammy Awards last month performing a sexy routine with rapper husband Jay Z.
The last time the singer took to the stage at the BRIT Awards in 2004 she sang her hit song 'Crazy in Love' and also picked up the accolade for Best International Female.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are planning to turn their wedding into a week-long event.
The rapper and his reality TV star fiancée - who got engaged in October - are reportedly set to tie the knot in a lavish ceremony in Paris in May that will feature on Kim's reality series 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians'.
According to The Sun newspaper, the couple, who have eight-month-old daughter North West, have hired wedding planners who are trying to line-up singers Lady Gaga and Fergie to perform, alongside music legend Stevie Wonder and Wu-Tang Clan.
The huge event is also rumoured to feature fire-dancers, acrobats and fireworks and will have its own currency for guests to spent at a Vegas-style casino.
Kim, 33, and Kanye, 36, met Gaga in Paris and are said to be "desperate" to persuade the 'Applause' hitmaker to perform because they are both fans of her music and she was the first artist who was asked to be involved.
The pair will reportedly spend their honeymoon in Italy, where North was conceived, and Kim is planning to get pregnant again as soon as they get married.
Meanwhile, Kim says Kanye is a "hands-on dad" but admits he isn't keen on changing North's diapers.
The brunette beauty said: "He's not a diaper kind of guy. And that's okay. But he would if it was an emergency."

Liam Payne kicked off at airline staff after his flight was delayed due to a bomb threat.
The One Direction hunk reportedly shocked fellow passengers when he began "swearing up a storm" during the flight from Puerto Rico to Philadelphia over the weekend.
According to the Daily Mirror newspaper, the 20-year-old singer became angry after being told there was a four-hour delay because he was eager to see his girlfriend Sophia Smith, who celebrated her 20th birthday yesterday (09.02.14).
A source said: "Liam was livid. He was tired and grumpy, and just wanted to get home because it was his girlfriend's birthday. He snapped at officials and started swearing. Everyone was quite taken aback."
But the star started to calm down when he realised he wasn't the only passenger annoyed that the US Airways flight 770 was grounded at 1.30pm.
The source added: "He apologised soon after. He didn't mean any offence."
However, fan Brooklyn Wiles was not impressed by Liam's outburst and claimed he refused to smile when she asked for a photograph after the drama.
She posted on Twitter: "I love One Direction ... but for him to act like a complete jerk because of a flight that was delayed due to a bomb threat?!?
"Every single person on that plane has to deal with this too... we all are trying to find flights and get home. And he was swearing up a storm. He was a nobody three years ago...
"Just because you're famous doesn't mean you should be a jerk to your fans.
"It's hard to love someone who takes fame too far. Liam Payne, I've lost my respect. (sic)"
The flight finally took off at 5.18pm after a passenger made the bomb threat and police found no explosives on the plane.

Marc Anthony and Chloe Green have reportedly split up again.
The on/off couple, who first started dating in February 2013, decided to end their romance recently but friends haven't ruled out reconciliation.
An insider told UsMagazine.com: "They are taking a break. It is because of busy schedules."
The duo briefly split last April but reunited in June before jetting off on holiday to St. Tropez in France.
A source said at the time: "The pair got serious very quickly and had the blessing of her parents, but it hasn't worked out. It seems to have been Marc's decision to end it."
The 45-year-old singer and the 22-year-old British Topshop heiress were last seen together at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on January 26.
Marc, who has five-year-old twins Max and Emme with his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez, began seeing Chloe shortly after splitting from model Shannon De Lima in January 2013.
The Latin heartthrob also has two sons, Cristian, 13, and Ryan, 11, with his ex-wife Dayanara Torres, and a 19-year-old daughter, Ariana, with his ex-girlfriend Debbie Rosado.

Joe Jonas' new niece has brought his family closer together.
The 24-year-old singer and his brothers, Kevin, 26, and Nick, 21, sparked rumours of a bitter feud when they announced the end of their group, The Jonas Brothers, in October, but his older brother's newborn daughter, Alena Rose, has reinforced their bond.
He told E! News: "I don't want to sound cheesy saying that but you just want to spend more time with each other and you're just excited for the next chapter for each other's lives."
He added: "I'm so happy for them. I mean he is a dad now and it's kind crazy."
Kevin and his wife, Danielle, welcomed their first child into the world last Sunday (02.02.14), and Joe was scared to hold the tot after meeting her for the first time.
He said: "She is so tiny, it kind of scares me. She was awake, kicking and smiling and grabbing for your finger."
The heartthrob said it is "mind blowing" to have a new addition to their family and really "exciting."
He added: "I honestly can't wait to spend more time with her."
But Joe, who is dating model Blanda Eggenschwiler, has no desire to settle down himself just yet.
He said: "I will take my time. I will take my time with running around and having my fun. Down the road."

Nick Carter reportedly snubbed his sister's wedding.
The Backstreet Boys star was expected to walk his younger sibling, Angel, down the aisle at her wedding to Corey Conrad at Newhall Mansion in Piru, California on Saturday (08.02.14), but opted to celebrate his own upcoming nuptials in Las Vegas instead.
The 'Everybody' hitmaker, 34, was noticeably absent from the ceremony, according to UsMagazine.com, but 26-year-old Angel's twin brother, Aaron Carter, was on hand to escort her on his own.
Meanwhile, Nick and his bride-to-be, Lauren Kitt, celebrated at a joint bachelor and bachelorette party at the Palms Hotel and Ghost Bar with approximately 15 friends.
The singer was clearly looking forward to the event as he shared a picture of their gift bags and champagne on Twitter on Friday (07.02.14), with the caption: "It's about to go down at @palms just entered the room of ecstasy."
Nick previously admitted his relationship with his family "has been toxic" at times and even claimed they blamed him for the death of his younger sister Leslie from an overdose in 2012.
The heartthrob skipped her funeral in favour of performing a scheduled concert and later told the 'Dr. Phil' show: "The communication is something that I'm still to this day trying to work on. ... It's tough when you come from a background like that and a home that is really up and down and roller-coaster."

Jessica Alba gave Gwen Stefani a hamper of "practical items" for her baby shower.
The No Doubt singer, who is expecting a baby boy with her husband, Gavin Rossdale, in the near future, was treated to lots of luxurious gifts by her pals, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Beckinsale and Nicole Richie, as she celebrated the impending arrival of her third child at the Hotel Bel Air in Los Angeles on Saturday (08.02.14).
A source told E! News that Jessica, who has daughters Honour, five, and two-year-old Haven, opted to give the 'Settle Down' hitmaker a "dinosaur storage bin full of toys, books and clothes," along with a $125 diaper cake from her brand The Honest Company, filled with organic goodies, including bubble bath, body lotion, healing balm and 92 diapers.
An insider also told PEOPLE.com: "She had tons of items picked out and put in a huge 3Sprouts dinosaur basket from Bel Bambini. She filled it with practical items."
Gwen looked "radiant" at the party and a friend said: "As she walked over the bridge and joined her friends she had a big smile on her face and was giving everyone hugs. There was a big welcome cheer for her and she seemed very grateful for all of the love."
The blonde beauty, who already has sons Kingston, seven, and Zuma, five, also received lots of designer gifts.
A source said: "Other guests brought baby clothes from Chanel and Bonpoint. There were tons of gifts that were all wheeled out on a luggage cart and put in Gwen's car."

Gareth Gates was voted off 'Dancing on Ice All-Stars' tonight (09.02.14).
The 29-year-old singer, who first rose to fame on 'Pop Idol' in 2002, became the latest star to leave the ITV series after losing a skate-off against former 'EastEnders' star Sam Attwater.
Despite impressing judges Jason Gardiner, Ashley Roberts, Robin Cousins and Karen Barber with his performance to Wham!'s hit 'Freedom,' during which he wore a George Michael-style blonde wig, Gareth and his professional partner, Brianne Delcourt, failed to win them over with their follow up routine to U2's 'Beautiful Day.'
All four judges chose to save 28-year-old Sam.
Upon hearing the result, the modest star - who is also appearing on 'The Big Reunion' as part of boy band 5th Story - gave credit to his partner as he departed the rink.
He said: "Never mind, it has been amazing and I would like to thank this amazing lady Brianne. Bless you all, thank you."
Delcourt said that the singer had been a "pleasure to work with".
'Dancing on Ice All-Stars,' which is the show's final series, continues next Sunday (February 16) at 6.15pm on ITV.

Shia LaBeouf wore a brown paper bag over his head to the German premiere of his new movie.
The 27-year-old actor, who announced he was retiring from "all public life" last month, refused to show his face at a red carpet screening of 'Nymphomaniac' in Berlin on Sunday night (09.02.14).
He cut two eye-holes into the bag and wrote the words "I'm Not Famous Anymore" in black capital letters on it before placing it over his head and attending the event in a dapper tuxedo, according to gossip website TMZ.com.
The 'Transformers' star was clearly eager to make a statement just an hour after storming out of a press conference for the movie.
When asked if it was uncomfortable filming sex scenes for the film, Shia let his co-star Stacy Martin answer first.
After hesitating for a moment, the dishevelled-looking star, who was missing a bottom tooth, then quoted retired French soccer player Eric Cantona's famous words to answer unwanted media attention: "When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea. Thank you very much."
He then walked off stage much to the amusement of Stacy.
Shia announced in January that he was taking a step back from the limelight after he was forced to apologise for plagiarising author Daniel Clowes' graphic novellas, 'Justin M. Damiano,' for his short film 'HowardCantour.com'.
He wrote on Twitter: "In light of the recent attacks against my artistic integrity, I am retiring from all public life."
He added: "My love goes out to those who have supported me. #stopcreating."
