John Travolta spotted in Fakenham Morrisons buying fillet steak as he films new movie 'The Shepherd'
Staff at Morrisons in Fakenham were shocked to see American movie star John Travolta in the aisles as he popped in to grab a fillet steak.
Gary Middleton, a security guard at the store snapped a picture with the 68-year-old actor.
Mr Middleton, who says that his favourite John Travolta flick is the iconic 1978 musical Grease, didn't "think it was him" at first.
He said: "I honestly didn't think it was him but he put his hand out to greet me when I walked towards him.
"We exchanged a few words and a joke and took the picture, he's a great bloke and a real pleasure to meet, seemed like such an easygoing person and I left the store with a great buzz."
Other staff at Morrisons were lucky enough to get a picture with the superstar before he went to eat a burger at the Dereham Wetherspoons.
Nicola Gee, who works at Morrisons also saw the Pulp Fiction star.
She said: "Wow what a crazy day at work - it was just a normal shift and in the afternoon I looked up and saw John Travolta shopping in our store!
"We started to question if it was really him and what a total shock to see a film megastar in Norfolk.
"Growing up I remember watching Grease, Pulp Fiction and Face Off and I never expected to meet him in person especially whilst at work.
"All of the staff including myself were excited and wanted the opportunity to get a photo with him so we went over and asked him and he agreed much to my delight.
"He was very pleasant - definitely a memory to treasure."
John Travolta is in Norfolk and Suffolk filming 'The Shepherd', a film adaptation of the Frederick Forsyth novel based at RAF Lakenheath.
The novel relates the story of a De Havilland Vampire pilot, going home on Christmas Eve 1957, whose aircraft suffers a complete electrical failure en route from RAF Celle in northern Germany to RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk.
Lost in fog over the North Sea and low on fuel, he encounters a De Havilland Mosquito fighter-bomber, which has apparently been sent up to guide him.
Travolta took a day off filming yesterday to celebrate daughter Ella's 22nd birthday with afternoon tea and posted a sweet message to social media site Instagram.
The doting dad said: "Happy birthday to my dearest Ella! I love you so much.
"We're here in England having afternoon tea to celebrate and I'm also here to shoot a short film called "The Shepherd" that I've always loved."
