John Travolta shares his Olympic “trip to Paris” with daughter Ella

John Travolta talks about his epic Olympic adventures.

On Sunday, August 11, the 70-year-old actor shared a video of himself and his daughter Ella Bleu, 24, traveling to Paris 2024 aboard a private jet to watch athletes like Simon Biles.

“Hey, I’m on my way to the Olympics,” Travolta said at the beginning of the video as he walked to the jet. “The flight to Paris is eight hours and I’ll see you when we get to Paris.”

The clip then switched to snapshots of Travolta sitting on the plane wearing a black beret while the French song “Samba Saravah” by Pierre Barouh played in the background.

Also included was a video of him drinking champagne and a picture of the sunset as the plane flew over the Atlantic Ocean.

The clip then switched to Travolta and Ella – whom he has with his late wife Kelly Preston – sitting in Bercy Stadium to watch Biles compete.
