While Ella Bleu, the daughter of John Travolta, has shown an affinity for acting, 11-year-old Ben has soared, somersaulted, and leaped into a surprising talent for gymnastics. This athleticism came to light in a video recently shared to Travolta's social media feed. In it, Ben appears to defy gravity and barely touches the ground as he swings from one platform to the next, sometimes not even landing as he moves from one bar to the next, or right off a wall. The video has received a lot of attention from Travolta's followers and fellow celebrities alike, including Jamie Lee Curtis - and his sister Ella.
