Washington: 'Travolta struggles over son's death'

Denzel Washington has revealed that John Travolta is still grieving over the loss of his son, it has been reported.

According to People, Washington, who stars opposite Travolta in The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, recently had a phone conversation with the Pulp Fiction actor and admitted his co-star's healing process "will take time".

Washington said: "So more than talking to him, I listened to him, for about two or three hours. Needless to say, he's struggling. What can you say, really?

"Just be there as a friend, because he's such a sweet, sweet person. Our prayers are with he and his wife."

Travolta's 16-year-old son, Jett, died suddenly in the Bahamas in January.
