John Travolta and his daughter Ella Bleu Travolta shared a sweet red-carpet moment on Thursday, May 28 2026 as they stepped out together for the Los Angeles premiere of their new Apple TV+ film, Propeller One-Way Night Coach.
The father-daughter duo posed proudly for photographers at the event, but it was Ella Bleu's striking height that stole the show.

While Ella Bleu looked significantly taller in photographs, the height difference was largely thanks to her choice of footwear. The aspiring actress, who stands at an impressive 5ft 10in, added several extra inches with a pair of towering black heels.
Even so, she nearly matched her dad's stature. John, who is 6ft 2in tall, looked every bit the proud father as he celebrated the release of a project that is particularly close to his heart.

Meanwhile, John opted for a classic black ensemble topped off with the now-signature beret he has been sporting in recent weeks. The hat first sparked conversation during his appearance at the Cannes Film Festival and has quickly become a staple of his latest public outings.

The actor shares Ella Bleu and 15-year-old son Benjamin with his late wife, actress Kelly Preston, who died in 2020 following a battle with breast cancer. The family also tragically lost son Jett in 2009 when he suffered a seizure during a vacation in the Bahamas.

She first appeared on screen as a child alongside her father and the late Robin Williams in the 2009 comedy Old Dogs. She later reunited with John for the 2019 thriller The Poison Rose, which also starred Morgan Freeman.
The rising star's career continues to gather momentum. She is set to appear in Alicia in Wonderland alongside James Cromwell and Terrence Howard, while she also has two upcoming films in post-production – Black Tides and Nice People – both of which will see her share the screen with her famous father once again.
