John Travolta claims Justin Timberlake copied his dance moves from 1970s movie hits Grease and Saturday Night Fever. The actor is adamant he was the inspiration for Timberlake's choreography - but plans to raise the bar in new movie musical Hairspray.

The 53-year-old tells MTV, "Justin Timberlake does have my moves, for sure. I have to give him the kudos for that. There's nothing holding that boy back."

He adds of "Hairspray," in which he cross-dresses to play Edna Turnblad, "Oh yeah, it's a full-throttle musical. It's my first musical since 'Grease' and interestingly enough, it's almost ended up like a sequel to it. 'Grease' took place in 1959, lets say, and 'Hairspray' takes place in 1962. The choreography is great, you're going to see gimmicky numbers. I do a whole Tina Turner dance thing. I enjoyed that and in the beginning, Welcome To The '60S is kind of like a big, extravagant number."
