The explanation: John Travolta shared how he came to confuse Idina Menzel's name, when he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel's post-Oscar special on Sunday evening
His gaffe: At the 2014 Oscars John infamously incorrectly announced the Let It Go singer as 'Adele Dazeem'
John appeared on Jimmy's Oscar special, and shared what left him flustered and unprepared enough to botch the Let It Go singer's name as he introduced her.
'The truth is, I was expected backstage and it was getting very close to the time I was supposed to go on and suddenly a page - an assistant to you - grabbed me and said you're on in a minute,' he said.
'I was like 'What happened to 15 minutes?' and they didn't explain. Later I found out my actual page got stuck in an elevator and couldn't communicate to anybody so the back-up came to get me.'
Infamous: John and Idina presented together at Sunday's Oscars ceremony, making light of his flub from the previous year
'As I get backstage I run into Goldie Hawn. She's sexy, charismatic, beautiful and I was starstruck, hugging and loving her up, forgetting I had to do this bit.'
'Then they were like 'OK you're on' and then they said 'Oh by the way, we've changed Idina's name to a phonetic spelling and I was like 'Wait - what do you mean?' 'Go!' he said, showing mock panic.
'So I go out there and I get to her thing and I go 'Huh?' In my mind I'm going 'What? What is that name? I don't know that name'. And it was this phonetic spelling, and I didn't rehearse it that way.'
Jimmy then jokingly asked if that meant it was 'Goldie Hawn's fault,' to which John laughed and replied: 'Maybe.'
'It's Goldie Hawn's fault' John and Jimmy joked the flub was because of the actress - pictured here at the 2014 Oscars - as the former was flustered after meeting her immediately ahead of his introduction on stage
Despite the gaffe, John insists the 43-year-old singer harbours no hard feelings and even credits him for her recent career success.
He added: 'The beautiful news, and Idina actually agrees, is that she's had one of the best years of her life, and her career. And she gives me credit!'
And Idina was given her chance to get her revenge on John during Sunday night's Oscars when she jokingly introduced him as 'Glom Gazingo.'
'The beautiful news' However, despite the mistake, John shared that Idina doesn't hold any bad feelings for the actor
Speaking to the audience at Los Angeles' Dolby Theater, she said: 'Please welcome to the stage my very dear friend Glom Gazingo.'
The Grease star then walked on stage and hugged her before patting the Wicked star on the face and embracing the joke.
'I deserve that, but you, my darling, my beautiful, my wickedly talented Idina Menzel,' he added, finally correctly pronouncing the line he was meant to deliver at last year's ceremony.
'You got it, not like it's going to follow me around for the rest of my life or anything,' she jokingly commented, to which John replied: 'Yeah, tell me about it.'
The pair then presented the Best Original Song award to John Legend and Common for their hit Glory from historical drama movie Selma.
Good humored: The duo laughed about it as they met each other onstage to present the award for Best Original Song, with Idina jokingly calling John: 'Glom Gazingo'
