John Travolta and his daughter Ella Bleu performed at the 2024 Summer Olympics – and they dressed for the occasion in Paris!
On Saturday, August 3, the father-daughter duo posed for photos and greeted onlookers as they entered Paris’ Bercy Arena to cheer on the Team USA gymnasts.
As he entered the venue, the 70-year-old actor could be seen wearing blue jeans, a dark blazer, a black mock turtleneck and a chain around his neck. He completed the look with sunglasses and a beard.
Ella, 24, opted for a more French-focused style, wearing a black beret to round off the all-black cut.

All about John Travolta’s daughter Ella Bleu Travolta
The pair also put on quite a show on Saturday as they watched Simone Biles win her third gold medal in Paris – as the Olympian got the better of Brazil’s Rebecca Andrada (silver) and Team USA’s Jade Carey (bronze).
During Biles’ performance, NBC’s Olympic broadcast cut to a shot of Travolta proudly clapping in the crowd after she completed the jump, as fans pointed out the obvious stoic expression on his face.
Biles now has ten medals: seven gold, one silver and two bronze.
Her average score in two jumps was 15.300. She previously won gold in the Rio 2016 event and pulled out of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics despite qualifying because she was dealing with twisties at the time.
Carey, Biles and their teammates – Chiles, Suni Lee and Hezly Rivera – won the gold medal in the women’s team final in Paris earlier this week. Then, on August 1, Biles also achieved gold medal status in the women’s all-around, in which Lee took the bronze medal.
