John Travolta’s 11-year-old son, Benjamin, has reached a new milestone in his ninja training.
“Ben just achieved a level 3 ninja,” the “proud” dad, 68, gushed via Instagram Tuesday.
The “Grease” star posted footage of the preteen swinging from bars, running up ramps and climbing to the tune of Earth, Wind & Fire’s “Fantasy.”
Benjamin’s 22-year-old sister, Ella, commented on the upload with celebratory emojis, while “Sex and the City” star Kristin Davis called his “amazing” parkour skills “unreal.”
As for Sharon Stone, the actress gushed, “GREAT GOING BEN.”
Travolta first gave his social media followers a glimpse of his youngest child’s training in April.
“My Spider-Man Ben,” the actor captioned footage of the little one jumping from one platform to the next.
“WOWZA,” Jamie Lee Curtis wrote at the time, while “Younger” alum Debi Mazar added, “I want to do that.”
Travolta and his late wife, Kelly Preston, welcomed their son in 2010, 10 years after their daughter’s arrival. (The former couple were also the parents of son Jett, who died in 2009 at age 16.)
After Preston lost her battle to breast cancer in July 2020, Benjamin was “afraid” that his dad would die as well, Travolta told Kevin Hart in August 2021.
“I said, ‘Well, it’s a very different thing,’” the “Saturday Night Fever” star recalled during a “Heart to Hart” episode. “And then I went through the differences about my longevity and her limited life.”
Travolta was honest with his son at the time, saying, “You always love the truth, and I’m going to tell you the truth about life. Nobody knows when they’re going to go or when they’re going to stay. Your brother left at 16. Too young. Your mother left at 57, and that was too young. But who’s to say?”
The “American Crime Story” alum warned Benjamin that he could “die tomorrow,” explaining that “anyone can.”
He concluded, “Let’s look at life that, it’s part of life, you see? You don’t know exactly. You just do your best at trying to live the longest you can.”
