"“This is nice,” he said, smoothing down the ribbon of his medal. “Thanks very much, Captain John.
I was one year old when you danced with my mum. As you’ve told everybody here and continue to dine out on that probably every single night.”"

Rather condescending, and underestimating JT's appeal in his own right there as I don't think references to his long-dead mother would continue to draw swoons and dramatic intakes of breath

A rather ungracious comment ( for me anyway ) by Harry to John Travolta. Either he is as dopey as people say, or he has lousy script-writers.

The Mail (other media) will have gone to him, he's their go to for all things Navy, just as Col Richard Kemp is the rent-a-quote for all things Army. Both of them are old enough to know better really.

There's rumour that Travolta proposed him for the award, which could be anywhere on the reality scale/

Likewise, but I did not get an invite to that party.

Both, I believe, and his PR people not giving good advice because while he is accepting Mickey Mouse badges, his family here in UK are having a rough time with health problems.

But surely the Oscars are awards FOR playing dress-up......
