John Travolta has an extra special dance partner in a new Super Bowl commercial: his 20-year-old daughter Ella.
The duo is among a star-studded group – also including Martha Stewart, actors Leslie David Baker and Carl Weathers, NASCAR driver Kyle Busch and fitness trainer Emma Lovewell – in ScottsMiracle-Gro’s first Super Bowl ad, which talks about the importance of the backyard was in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
And while there are a lot of fun parts – like Dean Stewart, saying that the brand offer announced in the ad can bring the winners the garden of their dreams, “Like mine. You know, it’s no better than mine ”, while she took care of the tomatoes in overalls – the father and daughter part was especially sweet. The iconic dancer from Grease, Pulp Fiction and Saturday Night Fever, 66, set up a tripod to record himself dancing in the yard while Ella said he was doing it wrong.
“Dad, it’s red,” she said.
“I know,” he replied, continuing to fiddle with the phone.
“THE From others red, ”she repeated.
“I know,” he repeated.
The two then begin to do the “Sunday Best” TikTok dance, prompting “neighbor” Stewart to say, “He still made it”.
In the end, Baker – grilling in his backyard – says, “Hey, Travoltas, don’t be Tik-ity Tok-ing on my grass,” like a TikTok-style clip shows father and daughter continuing to dance.
John and Ella showed their dance moves on Instagram in August with the actor writing that they danced in memory of his late wife Kelly Preston, who died of breast cancer in July at age 57. He added: “One of Kelly’s favorite things, dancing with me. “
Travolta announced after Preston’s death that he would take time off work to be with his children, also including 10-year-old Ben (son Jett died in 2009), but appeared in another popular commercial next to the holiday that reunited him with his pulp Fiction co-star Samuel L. Jackson. He showed his dance moves, in the character of Santa Claus, in this one too.
The Super Bowl, which sees the Kansas City Chiefs face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, will air on Sunday, February 7 at 6:30 pm ET. It can be watched on CBS and broadcast free on CBSSports.com and the CBS Sports app.
