Actor JOHN TRAVOLTA fought back at a bully who tormented him for eight years during his childhood in New Jersey.
The 53-year-old star revealed his childhood memories at the premiere of Death Sentence, which stars his wife Kelly Preston and Kevin Bacon.
Travolta tells the New York Daily News, "When I was 13, I found the strength to lift him over my head and throw him on the ground. I felt so vindicated.
After that, we were good friends. So maybe that’s how you know you’re my friend - if I lift you over my head and body-slam you."

Actor RICHARD GERE is calling for a boycott of the 2008 Beijing Olympic, to put pressure on China to give Tibet independence.
Gere, chairman of the International Campaign for Tibet and a devout Buddhist, is certain a boycott would force China to allow the Himalayan region to decide its future.
The 58-year old star has been barred from visiting China for his support of Tibet and in 1993 spoke out about the plight of the Himalayan region at the Academy Awards.
He says, "A general boycott to me certainly has value; it’s probably impractical, but emotionally absolutely makes sense.
"Why should the world reward people who are obviously so bad to their own people, so bad to other people.
"At some point they are going to have to face the fact that this system they have committed themselves to will not work. The kind of pretend dualism of communism and capitalism will explode at some point."

My mum had to take me aside later on and say, ‘Honey, that was Bill Murray. He’s an actor. He was in Groundhog Day.’ "Ugh. That was embarrassing."

HEROES actress ALI LARTER wept tears of despair before her whipped cream bikini scene in the 1999 movie VARSITY BLUES.
Larter played Paul Walker’s on-screen girlfriend Darcy in the teen comedy and was forced to smother herself with the dairy product for the infamous scene.
The 31-year-old former model says, "That was my first scene in Varsity Blues and I had no clue what I was supposed to do. I knew if I started crying it would be hard to stop - so I cried for seven hours solid before filming started." Larter has since stripped bare and lap danced for scenes in the U.S.
television show Heroes.
She admits, despite her outpouring of emotion, "The scene must have worked OK because so many people remember it."

Music legend ALICE COOPER loved being the bad guy of rock during his heyday.
The heavy metaller revelled in his image as the anti-hero of the 1960s and 1970s.
He says, "Alice was always a villain, he was never a hero. I looked around and I saw Paul McCartney, John Lennon and the Beach Boys, with their happy, three-minute songs. I thought, they’re heroes, the Peter Pans; I want to be Captain Hook." (NL/WNBTE/IG) WENN - FIFTH - HOLLYWOOD, SHOWBIZ & PEOPLE NEWS - 3 SEPTEMBER 2007

Pop legends THE BEACH BOYS are set to reunite, after the surviving bandmembers ended their decades-long rift.
Brian Wilson, Mike Love and Al Jardine went their separate ways in the 1980s, prompted by Wilson’s deteriorating health - caused by excessive drug use - and a spate of lawsuits over the rights to their music.
They reunited in 2006 for the 40th anniversary of their iconic album Pet Sounds - and Love is keen to create new music with Wilson and Jardine.
He tells Record Collector, "A reunion would have to begin with Brian and I writing together.
"As far as I’m concerned, I think the first step would be to create some new music, and the chemistry of Brian’s innate abilities and mine combined in such a way that we could really be of mutual benefit to each other, creatively."

William - who recently rekindled his romance with the stunning brunette following a three-month break - revealed his plans to the queen in a heart-to-heart phone call after he returned from a make-or-break holiday in the Seychelles with Kate.
The queen is said to be thrilled as she was worried William would lose public support if he kept playing with Kate’s emotions.
A source close to the couple told Britain’s People newspaper: ‘The queen left William in no doubt that she felt he had compromised himself by dumping Kate so brutally, then meekly taking her back.
‘She was delighted when William came back from their holiday and told her, for the first time, that he felt ready to commit.’ The 25-year-old prince gushed to his grandmother about how much he and Kate had enjoyed their holiday, and revealed it made him realise she is the one for him.
Meanwhile, Kate is reportedly set to quit her job to pursue a career in photography.
The 25-year-old beauty, who has a degree in history of art, has been working as a part-time accessories buyer for UK high street store jigsaw but now wants a new challenge.
A source told Britain’s Mail on Sunday: ‘Kate has become increasingly frustrated working at Jigsaw.
‘She really wants to move and is seriously thinking about a career in photography. ‘She loves cameras and has a great eye. She has already started putting an exhibition of her work together.’

Camilla, the wife of Britain’s Prince Charles, feels she was badly advised by aides who insisted she would be attending the ceremony - held last Friday (31.08.07) to mark the 10th anniversary of her death - until last Sunday (26.08.07).
The 60-year-old royal vowed to get her revenge on palace officials by telling them: ‘Just wait until I’m queen.’ Camilla then allegedly had a blazing row with Charles during which she slammed their loyal staff.
A source told Britain’s News of the World newspaper: ‘Camilla told Charles she felt let down by their closest aides and doesn’t think they put her feelings first. She knew she would have to pull out or feign illness at the last minute. The row was ferocious and Camilla told Charles just what she thought. ‘One day Camilla believes she will be queen and will exert influence and make decisions within the royal household. She thought there wouldn’t be a problem attending the service as she had been invited by Princes William and Harry. But just because they wanted her there, doesn’t mean the public did.’ After making the decision not to attend the service, Camilla said: ‘On reflection I believe my attendance would divert attention from the purpose of the occasion which is to focus on the life and service of Diana.’ The duchess and her daughter Laura are due to spend a week in France - without Charles - on a £40 million luxury yacht, which boasts 24 staff, a helipad, swimming pool and 10 double bedrooms.
They will be joined by two of Camilla’s female friends and Laura’s husband Harry.

In 2002 researchers used remote sensing technology to confirm there is a huge underground palace inside Emperor Qinshihuang’s burial place - near to where the world-famous terracotta army was unearthed - but officials have decided to leave the crypt undisturbed.
Leading expert, Professor Cao Wei - deputy curator of the Museum of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qinshihuang - said: ‘I would not witness the excavation in my life. In the foreseeable future the mausoleum will maintain the status quo.’ He added that geophysical exploration technologies used to discover the existence of the underground palace would not have done any harm to the burial site.
Emperor Qinshihuang ruled from 221 to 207 BC and his crypt is believed to contain a large quantity of historical cultural relics.
The Shaanxi government plans to build a 2.9-square-km theme park based on the Qinshihuang mausoleum site along with a museum of bronze chariots discovered buried near the Emperor Qinshihuang’s mausoleum.
The 2,200-year-old burial site was discovered accidentally in 1974 in Lintong county - 35km east of Xi’an - by peasants digging a well.
The infamous Chinese terracotta army buried around the mausoleum are deemed one of the greatest archaeological finds of modern times.
Over 1,000 sand-coloured life-size figures - which represent the Emperor’s army, including officers, horses, archers, and chariots - were discovered buried around the mausoleum as if guarding it.
No two soldiers in the army are the same. Each individual statue has a different facial expression and hairstyle, and they are believed to have been modelled on the real army.
The discovery of the terracotta army - listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO since December 1987 - turned Xi’an, capital of the northwestern Shaanxi Province, into one of China’s biggest tourist attractions.
A museum - covering the original excavation site with the repaired soldiers left in the place they were found - has had over 60 million visitors since it opened in 1979, including at least six million from abroad.

The queen appeared close to hysterics as she and husband Prince Philip joined 17,000 spectators at The Braemar Gathering in Royal Deeside to watch traditional Scottish events such as tossing the caber and throwing the hammer.
The competition, held at The Princess Royal and Duke of Fife Memorial Park, also featured Highland dancing and a performance from the Inverurie Pipe Band.
The queen awarded the winner’s trophy - presented to the competitor who gains the most points across all five events - to Bruce Aitken, who won the competition’s top honour for an amazing ninth year in a row.
This year the queen and Philip were the only royal representatives at the event. Last year they were joined by Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.
The Braemar Gathering, of which the queen is patron, coincides with her and Philip’s annual break at their Scottish residence, Balmoral.
On Friday (31.08.07), the royal couple joined 500 guests at London’s Guards Chapel in for a memorial service to the 10th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death.
The Braemar Gathering was cancelled in 1997 as a mark of respect following Diana’s death in a Paris car crash.

The princess, who was killed in a Paris car crash in August 1997 along with Dodi, wrote a note to her chauffeur Peter Burrows talking about her feelings for Wall Street trader Teddy Forstmann.
Diana’s letter written on paper headed with the crest of her royal London residence, Kensington Palace and dated July 7, 1997, read: ‘I know that you are delivering a parcel today, alas not an American!’ Borrows claims the note shows that Diana - who had a fling with Frostmann after she split from husband Prince Charles - was not serious about Dodi, whose father is Harrods boss Mohammed Al Fayed.
He told Britain’s News of the World: ‘I really knew what was happening at the time. It would show the truth about her relationship with Dodi.
‘I find it very interesting that people keep going on about Dodi, Dodi, Dodi. It’s fascinating when you know the truth. But I wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of his father.’ The note is being auctioned for £265,000 by a memorabilia company.
This is not the first time Diana’s love for Frostmann had been discussed.
Two years ago Frostmann’s ex-girlfriend Debbie Hagerty slammed Diana for pursuing a relationship with him.
She said: ‘I was furious at Diana, much more so than at Teddy. For her to pursue my man for a sexual affair made me so angry. Teddy and I had been together for three years and we were talking of marriage. Now here was Diana looking for someone to provide her with the trappings she had got from Charles.’
