Travolta: 'Men Love Me As A Woman'

Hollywood star John Travolta was so convincing as a woman on the set of the upcoming movie Hairspray, he had men constantly flirting with him.

Travolta stars in the remake of the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical and spent four hours each day getting into costume for his role as Edna Turnblad.

The 53-year-old says, "I had no particular urge to play a woman, but it made me realise how much power women have over men.

"Guys would flirt with me on set. You just need breasts and a bum and suddenly you have power! Everyone was feeling me. It was fake, of course, but I thought 'This is weird.'"
