Like father, like son.
John Travolta shared a rare video on Instagram Wednesday of his son Ben, who looks just like him. The actor posted a clip of a 14-year-old boy impressively climbing a Norwegian mountain to the tune of Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell’s song “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.”
Dressed appropriately for the frigid temperatures in a white jacket, black pants and snow boots, Ben made it to the top in style and was all smiles as he enjoyed the stunning views.
Travolta captioned the video: “No mountain is high enough for my son Ben.” “Love from Norway.”
The “Grease” star’s daughter Ella Blue, 25, showed her love for her brother by commenting, “🙌😍.”
Fans also enjoyed getting a glimpse of Travolta’s youngest son. The 71-year-old actor shared Ben, Ella and late son Jett with his late wife, actress Kelly Preston.
One person commented: “Unbelievable. You’re doing a great job raising your kids.” “I’m sure Kelly would be thrilled and very proud.”
Another fan commented: “Wow! Ben is all grown up now. What a great sight 😍.”
One fan chimed in: “Kelly must already be happy to see Ben growing up 🥹.”
Some fans are surprised at how much Ben looks like his famous father.
The comment reads, “At first glance, you can see a mini JT!🥰.”
“Looks like his brother and father ❤️,” said one fan.
Preston passed away in 2020 after a battle with breast cancer. Travolta recalled having a tough conversation with Ben about his mother’s death during an appearance on Kevin Hart’s Peacock talk show “Hart to Hart” in 2021.
He said Ben was worried that his father would die next after his mother.
“I experienced the difference between my longevity and her limited life,” he recalls. “I said, ‘But Ben, you always love the truth. I’ll tell you the truth about life. You never know when they’re going to leave or when they’re going to stay.’
The ‘Saturday Night Fever’ star also said that she told Ben that he should continue to live each day, understanding that death is a part of life.
“‘Your brother (Jett) left at 16. That was too young. Your mother left at 57. That was too young. But who’s to say? I could die tomorrow. You could die. Anybody could die,'” he recalled telling his son.
