John Travolta and his 20-year-old daughter Ella made a father-daughter cameo in a new Super Bowl ad for Scotts & Miracle-Gro.

Also featuring Martha Stewart, actors Leslie David Baker and Carl Weathers, NASCAR driver Kyle Busch, and fitness instructor Emma Lovewell, Scotts & Miracle-Gro's first Super Bowl ad honed in on how necessary backyard care has been during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Though the ad contained plenty of funny moments featuring each guest’s personality, an especially charming bit had Travolta and his daughter doing a TikTok dance to Surfaces’s “Sunday Best” in the style of his and Olivia Newton-John’s famous onscreen school dance performance in Grease

Watching the father-daughter duo, Martha Stewart looks up from tending her garden to say, “He's still got it”.

“Hey, Travoltas, don’t be Tik-ity Tok-ing on my grass," quips a BBQ-ing Baker, who is best known for playing Stanley Hudson in the US version of The Office.

Ella and her father appeared dancing together earlier last August when Travolta shared an Instagram video of the pair waltzing to slow jazz music.

The Saturday Night Fever actor wrote that they were dancing in memory of his late wife Kelly Preston, who died from breast cancer in July at the age of 57. He captioned, “One of Kelly’s favorite things, dancing with me."

The Super Bowl, with the Kansas City Chiefs playing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, plus a  halftime show from The Weeknd, airs on Sunday, 7 February at 6:30pm ET on CBS.
