John Travolta has paid tribute to the late Princess Diana for reviving his career with a dance.

The Hollywood star says his career had nose-dived before the British Royal requested to trip the light fantastic with him at a gala dinner in 1985.

He tells the Mirror, �That was an amazing moment because I was having a dip in my career and no one was interested in me.

�Suddenly, I was the only thing that mattered in America to Princess Diana and I was reborn. I was like, 'Wow!

�I matter to someone again.' I was on the cover of every newspaper and magazine in the world and someone as significant as Princess Diana reminded everyone of me.

�It was a wonderfully special moment of her fulfilling a dream and giving me a new value."
