The actor briefly recreates his Born to Hand Jive moves from the 1978 musical film, with his daughter Ella replacing co-star Olivia Newton-John.
But the setting isnt a high school dance in the gym its outside on the lawn in an ad for Scotts Miracle-Gro. And the music isnt from Sha Na Na, but the Surfaces Sunday Best.
Travolta, a two-time Oscar nominee, comically struggles to set up a cellphone camera for the routine, but gets the job done. He and Ella danced together in a viral Instagram last summer to honor Kelly Preston, Travoltas wife and Ellas mother, who died from breast cancer in July.
Martha Stewart, Leslie David Baker of The Office, Peloton instructor Emma Lovewell, NASCARs Kyle Busch and Carl Weathers (in a nod to Happy Madison) also appear in the spot, which will air in the second quarter of Sundays game.
