John Travolta will be honored with the Golden Camera at a ceremony in Germany next month. The 'Wild Hogs' star, whose wife Kelly Preston gave birth to their third child, a son named Benjamin, in November, will follow in the footsteps of Richard Gere, Bruce Willis, Nicolas Cage and Sylvester Stallone when he accepts the best actor international award in Berlin on February 5 and John says he couldn't be happier.

John Travolta To Receive Golden Camera.

He said: "Receiving the Golden Camera best actor international award is a huge honor for me. Over the past few months, so many positive things have happened to my family and me. Becoming a dad again has ignited such joy within me... But I also take great pride in my work, and it's wonderful to have it recognized in such a way."

Christian Hellmann, editor-in-chief at leading German listings magazine Horzu, which presents the Golden Cameras said the 'Saturday Night Fever' actor, whose 16-year-old son Jett died after suffering a seizure two years ago, is being honored for his entire body of work and his ability to remain successful for so long. He said: "John Travolta is one of the very few stars who have managed to stay on top of Hollywood's A-list for decades. He is iconic and one of the greatest actors in the world."

The 56-year-old star is a noted Scientologist and although many Germans view the religion as a dangerous cult, Christian revealed he isn't worried about this affecting the awards. He said: "Yes, Scientology is controversial in Germany, but we aren't honoring Travolta's beliefs; we're honoring his work. And he is and remains one of the most popular stars here."

Danny Devito picked up the Golden Camera last year.
