Nearly 43 years have passed since the blockbuster film "Grease" shook
people's lives all across the world and turned John Travolta, then 67, into
the icon he is today. Even though John Travolta had a long and successful
career after "Grease," it's difficult to forget the black-haired hunk who
shattered the hearts of women all around the world as Danny Zuko. In 2000,
when Travolta wed fellow actor Kelly Preston, who was also a bombshell in
her day, the pair welcomed Ella Bleu Travolta into the world.
Everyone had a difficult year in 2020, but the Travolta family in
particular because their grandmother passed away in July after a struggle
with breast cancer. Since then, both John Travolta and his daughter Ella
Bleu Travolta have publicly lamented the loss of the family. Last year was
the first Christmas without Preston for the Travolta family.
The family has been mourning, but they have gradually shown that they are
moving on with their lives while keeping Preston's legacy close to their
hearts. Although John Travolta has always been a proud father, he has
particularly shown in the past year that he is a devoted family guy who is
constantly present for his two children, Ella Bleu Travolta and Benjamin
Travolta.
It goes without saying that John Travolta and Ella Bleu have a close
relationship. On Monday, October 11, 2021, Ella Bleu celebrated
Father-Daughter Day by posting a heartfelt homage to her father on
Instagram.

Travolta and Ella Bleu.
From his early appearances in popular films like "Grease" and "Saturday
Night Fever" to his storied return in the 1990s in "Pulp Fiction," "Get
Shorty," "Face/Off," and many others, John Travolta has been a household
name. His late wife Kelly Preston was a well-known actress who appeared in
films including "Jerry Maguire" and "For the Love of the Game,"
unfortunately dying from breast cancer at the age of 57 in July 2020.
After spending more time together, Preston and Travolta decided to be
married in 1991 and establish a family. Their offspring Jett, Ella Bleu, and
Benjamin were born throughout the next years. Jett Travolta tragically lost
suddenly in 2009 at the age of 16 as a consequence of an unplanned seizure
and ensuing fall. The Travolta family has experienced sorrow before, as
evidenced by this and Preston's tragic passing in 2020. Given this, it makes
total sense that the remaining kids and their dad have developed such a
strong relationship.
The family still manages to spend time together and have fun, much as in
the Super Bowl commercial from earlier in 2021, despite the challenges they
have endured. In their beautiful, green garden, father and daughter joined
forces for a musical promotional appearance, recreating the well-known hand
jive that John was famous for in 1978.
Ella Bleu, who is now 21 years old, has started her career as an actor in
the same field as her well-known parents. It's hardly surprising that Ella
Bleu wants to work in the entertainment industry given her good looks, which
she inherited from both of her parents.
In a 2019 interview with People, she said,
I've enjoyed acting, singing, dancing, and putting on concerts at home for
my family and friends ever since I was a little child.
Back in 2009, she made her acting debut in the film "Old Dogs," which also
starred both of her dad and Robin Williams. "It was fantastic to perform
with my parents in my first movie, it made it a lot simpler," Ella Bleu told
Celebrity Pulse. Since then, she has appeared in the movie "The Poison Rose"
once again with her father.
Ella cited the following as her top films that starred her parents:
"Oh my gosh, all of them are really great, so that's extremely hard (to
choose), but some of my top faves of my dad's are 'From Paris with Love' and
'Grease,' obviously.
Ella Bleu explained to People how she asks her father for guidance in the
following way:
"Having my dad present was really helpful. He is the finest tutor ever, and
it was quite soothing. I adore that it resembles a family business.
Ella also emphasized that her parents would have helped her out no matter
what she chose to do for a living:
"They would have backed me in anything I would have decided to do. But
they're so pleased with my acting... and that also fills me with
pride.
The working connection between the father and daughter appears to be
excellent and extremely favorable.
On Monday, October 11, 2021, in observance of Father-Daughter Day, Ella
Bleu posted a photo to Instagram demonstrating how close she is to her
father. The heading read:
Happy Father-Daughter Day to my dearest buddy, who is also my idol. I adore
you so much, Daddy.
