Like father, like daughter! John Travolta shared a photo of his 21-year-old daughter, Ella, on her forthcoming film Get Lost set.
“Here’s my daughter Ella starring in a live-action re-imagining of Alice in Wonderland!” The actor, 67, captioned the Thursday, July 29 Instagram post. “Called Get Lost.” “I’m a very proud dad!”
In March, it was announced that the New Jersey native and his late wife Kelly Preston’s daughter will star in Disney’s live-action version of the 1951 classic.
Ella shared a video on Instagram on Wednesday, July 28, dressed in her blue costume, saying, “I am so honored and happy to begin this adventure on such a wonderful project with such an amazing cast and crew. Stay tuned.”
The social media post occurred five months after Travolta and his daughter made news for their work on a Super Bowl commercial for Scotts Miracle-Gro with Martha Stewart, Leslie David Baker, and others.
“It was magical, there’s no one else in the world I’d rather dance with than my daughter, Ella,” the Grease star told Esquire Mexico of the experience in April. “It worked on so many levels! First, as a unique moment of entertainment that people loved seeing. Secondly, it allowed me to introduce my daughter to the world on a huge stage, showing off her talent and beauty.”
He went on to say that the father-daughter combo “dance a lot” in the magazine. “I’m really thankful that the brand asked us to do it together.”
Travolta and Preston welcomed Ella in 2000, followed by their 10-year-old son Benjamin in 2010. Jett, their eldest son, died in 2009, at the age of 16.
Ella paid tribute to her mother, who died in July 2020 from breast cancer, with a heartfelt Instagram post.
“I have never met anyone as courageous, strong, beautiful and loving as you,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “Anyone who is lucky enough to have known you or to have ever been in your presence will agree that you have a glow and a light that never ceases to shine and that makes anyone around you feel instantly happy.”
Ella concluded, “Thank you for being there for me no matter what. Thank you for your love. Thank you for your help and thank you for making this world a better place. You have made life so beautiful, and I know you will continue to do so always. I love you so much mama.”
