   The original: John Travolta ambushes Scarlett Johansson on the Oscars 2015 red carpet

John Travolta is getting more media attention for a few minutes he was on camera at the Oscars 2015 on Sunday than he does for his recent acting roles or even his involvement with the controversial Church of Scientology.

Creepy John Travolta kissing Scarlett Johansson is now a popular meme.

Travolta gets touchy-feely with the ladies at the Oscars

Last year, John Travolta made Oscars history when he introduced future Oscar winner Idina Menzel to perform her “Frozen” hit song “Let It Go,” and renamed her Adele Danzeem because he couldn’t properly read the prompter.

So when organizers announced that he’d been invited to present at the 2015 ceremony as well, people prepared for the worst, in the sense that they imagined he’d do something to make them laugh again. He did it, of course; but it had nothing to do with butchering people’s names.

Instead, the “Grease” star got very touchy-feely with whatever woman crossed his path, Idina included because he presented with her.

However, before he awkwardly touched her face on stage, he ambushed and kissed Scarlett Johansson like the creepy uncle you sometimes meet at the weddings, to paraphrase what people are saying online.

Since this happened on the red carpet, while Scarlett was posing for the army of photographers, every second of it was captured on camera - and is now being turned into meme gold.

Creepy John is a meme but he has an explanation

Creepy John Travolta creepin’ on Scarlett Johansson is now a meme, with many people using their Photoshop skills to improve the overall creepiness and hilarity of the moment he surprised the actress with what looked like an unwanted peck on the cheek.

So now, we get to see John doing the same to everyone from Russian President Putin and North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un, to the Statue of Liberty and rapper Kanye West.

We also get to see Travolta team up with Vice President Biden to kiss Scarlett, or Travolta multiplying several times, presumably so he can deliver more kisses on unwilling victims.

However, if you watch the video below, you will see that he has a perfectly sound explanation for what happened. Travolta stopped by Jimmy Kimmel after the awards gala (he’s even wearing the same outfit, so it must have happened before he went to the Vanity Fair afterparty) and he shrugged off the Idina Menzel moment with a “whatever.”

He did not even mention the Scarlett incident, which probably means he had no idea it would pick up this kind of traction online.

On the other hand, we know from his Adele Danzeem slip of the tongue that he at least has a sense of humor. So while you giggle at the hilarious memes in the gallery, worry not: Travolta is probably laughing with you.
