John Travolta started his first talk show appearance since the death of his son Jett with a heartfelt thanks to his fans around the world.

The movie star has been a virtual recluse since the tragedy in January (09) and he has only recently come out of hiding to promote new movie OldDogs, which is also his daughter Ella's big feature debut.

Appearing on Wednesday's (11Nov09) Ellen show in America, the actor insisted on addressing the studio audience and those watching the show at home, stating,

"I just wanna take one moment to thank each and everyone of you throughout this country, throughout the world, for all your support and all your love for our family".

Travolta's son suffered a seizure and died during a family vacation in the Bahamas.

In other news John Travolta has become a midnight tennis lover, challenging members of his staff to night games.

The movie star has spent much of this year (09) confined at home in Florida, mourning the death of his teenage son, Jett, but he hasn't been idle - he has been perfecting his tennis.

He explains, "I took up tennis, I play every day. I play at midnight - kinda vampire style.

"The house manager and the house maintenance person, they both live my hours, so at midnight we go to the local tennis court. They're good."

And Travolta is so hooked on his new passion, he's building his own state-of-the-art tennis court at his home.
