When one of the spots requested him to say his famous ‘Whoa!,’ dialogue, the actor didn’t mind, as per People. “There's enough time passed now where it just makes sense. You see John Travolta doing Saturday Night Fever,” he explained.

“So you get some distance between you and these iconic moments and then it's okay. It's great to relive those moments as an adult and to understand it still means something to a lot of people, which is pretty cool," he added.
