Dominic Cooper is set to star in 'Gotti: In the Shadow of My Father' after "blowing away" bosses.

Barry Levinson - director of the Mafia film, which is set to star John Travolta and Al Palcino - is keen to sign up the 'Mamma Mia!' actor who has impressed him and the producers with his passion for the role of John Gotti Jr.

A foundation set up by John Travolta donated 10 per cent of its revenue to Scientology last year.

The Jett Travolta Foundation was created when the actor's 16-year-old son Jett died after hitting his head during a seizure while in the Bahamas, and the non-profit organization has given away approximately $56,000 since it was set up, according to website Showbiz411.

John Travolta is a "pushover" when it comes to his kids.

The 57-year-old actor has two children, Ella, 11, and six-month-old Benjamin, with his wife Kelly Preston, and he admits he has a laid back approach to parenting.

John Travolta and Kelly Preston have reportedly spent $2,200 sending their pet pooches to "doggie boot camp".

The couple have two new goldendoodle dogs - one male and one female - to replace their two dogs who were tragically run over on an airport runway last year while being walked by an assistant.

John Travolta makes up songs for his baby son.

The 56-year-old actor - whose wife Kelly Preston gave birth to Benjamin in November - is a hands-on dad and loves to find new ways to entertain the tot when changing his diaper.
