Shifting the focus from the comparisons, one netizen praised John Travolta, saying, “He is such a good man, and a good father.”
When John and Ella made an appearance at the 2024 Paris Olympics on August 3, they attracted significant attention as they entered the Bercy Arena. The Emmy Award winner and his daughter were there to support Team USA’s gymnasts. Their rare public appearance prompted fans to comment, with many noting their striking resemblance to each other.

Others praised Ella’s appearance, with one fan exclaiming, “Wow she is beautiful .” Longtime fans of John, reminiscing about his role in the 1978 classic “Grease,” pointed out similarities between him and his daughter that echoed his younger days.
One fan fondly observed, “She’s John in Grease ,” while another added, “She is his twin from his younger days. Just watched Grease; never realized how handsome he was.”
However, some fans noted a resemblance to Uma Thurman’s character from “Pulp Fiction,” in which John co-starred. One observer suggested, “She looks like she can star in ‘Pulp Fiction.’”
Similar to their appearance at the Academy Museum Gala, John and Ella wore coordinating black outfits. The “Face-Off” actor donned a dark blazer, matching T-shirt, blue jeans, rectangular sunglasses, and a gold chain, finishing the look with black dress shoes. His daughter complemented his style with her matching two-piece ensemble.
Ella’s outfit featured a sleeveless black cropped top that highlighted her toned midriff, paired with high-waisted trousers. She completed the look with a black beret, a stylish bob haircut, and strappy heels. To accessorize, she wore a pendant necklace, a bracelet, and carried a sling bag, perfectly complementing her father’s ensemble.
John and Ella settled into the VIP section alongside other celebrities, including Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav. They enthusiastically cheered for US gymnast Simone Biles during the Artistic Gymnastics Women’s Vault Finals, showing their support for Team USA.
