During a press interview with SpinningPlatters.com to promote her latest film Celeste and Jesse Forever, Rashida Jones and her co-star/co-writer Will McCormack encouraged John Travolta to admit he's gay.

While having a conversation about how ecstatic she was that Frank Ocean came out, McCormack added, "There needs to be, like, a professional athlete that comes out.”

That's when Jones put her two-cents in and joked, "And a movie star! It’s time…Like John Travolta? Come out! Come on. How many masseurs have to come forward? Let’s do this.”

Those who've kept up with gossip blogs know that Travolta's been at the center of a scandal involving him and a number of masseurs who've claimed the Saturday Night Fever actor sexually assaulted them. 

"People are so precious about their careers," Jones later added.
