John Travolta Says Daughter Ella Is 'Her Own Person'
John Travolta directed 'Propeller One-Way Night Coach.'
Although John and Ella share a love of film, the Grease alum previously emphasized how his daughter follows her own path independent from his fame.
“She is her own person. She is gracious, generous, poised, graceful and gorgeous. I don’t know how she came to be, and I don’t take any credit other than just adoring her,” he said in an August 2019 interview. “And maybe that’s a valid contribution.”
John also has son Ben, whom he shares with late wife Kelly Preston. In addition, the couple welcomed son Jett, who died at age 16 in 2009.
