John Travolta has revealed he thought "life was no longer interesting" after his son died.

The 'Saturday Night Fever' star described Jett's death as 'the worst thing that's ever happened in my life'.

"The truth is, I didn't know if I was going to make it," he revealed. "It took a lot to get me better."

Jett died from a seizure during a family holiday in the Bahamas.

John said the Church of Scientology had helped him carry on after his loss, saying: "I will forever be grateful to Scientology for supporting me for two years solid, I mean Monday through Sunday.

"They didn't take a day off, working through different angles of the techniques to get through grief and loss, and to make me feel that finally I could get through a day."

"After three years of a lot of support from my church, my fans and family, I thought it was ok to go back to work," he said.
