John Travolta has denied claims he sexually assaulted a male cruise ship worker in 2009.

Fabian Zanzi, a former Royal Caribbean cruise line steward, has filed a lawsuit against Travolta claiming the actor attempted to initiate sex with him. Zanzi claims Travolta offered him $12,000 to have sex.

“He got naked in front of me. He forced me. He offered me money to have sex,” Zanzi, a Chile native, told SplashNewsOnline.com. “He got naked in front of me so he gave me a big hug. … I could feeling his erect penis fronting on me and I couldn't move. ... I was a victim because of his power. Because of his name.”

The Pulp Fiction star admits to being on the cruise ship but denies all the allegations against him in court documents filed Friday by lawyer Marty Singer. Travolta is asking the court to dismiss the lawsuit, TMZ.com reported.
