Denzel Washington speaks about John Travolta missing the premiere of 'The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3'

John Travolta continued to keep himself out of the eye of the public and missed the premiere of his new movie, "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3" Thursday night in Los Angeles.

Travolta lost his 16-year-old son, Jett, to a seizure while the family was vacationing in the Bahamas in January. As his family continues to mourn the death, Travolta has made it a point to stay away from the limelight. Denzel Washington, who co-stars with Travolta in the new film, understood the need for privacy during the healing process.

"Well, you know, this is a movie, this is entertainment," Washington told Access Hollywood.

When asked if attending the premiere of "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3" was bittersweet without Travolta, Washington said, "He's where he needs to be."

Washington understood that this is a hard time for the Travolta family and supported Travolta's need to keep his distance.

"The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3" hits theaters this Friday.
