But let&#8217;s be honest, who cares about football? It&#8217;s all abut the half-time performance and <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/michael-b-jordan-alexa-amazon\/\">big-budget commercials<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This year, John Travolta is one of the famous faces popping up in between plays. In an ad for Scotts Miracle-Gro, the beloved actor is reliving his Grease days and he&#8217;s not doing it alone. In the 45-second spot, the 66-year-old actor attempts to film what looks like a TikTok video of his legendary Danny Zuko dance moves \u2014 hand-jive and all \u2014 alongside his real-life daughter, Ella.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Scotts &amp; Miracle-Gro Big Game Commercial | Keep Growing :45\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-QKt8GtRUOA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Super Bowl for me is a major yearly celebration,&#8221; Travolta noted in a statement. &#8220;When Scotts Miracle-Gro asked me to do an ad for the Super Bowl with my daughter I was thrilled, especially since we were asked to <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/the-crown-dance-lizzo-good-as-hell\/\">dance together<\/a>.

It&#8217;s a fun movie musical and not [meant] to be taken so seriously,&#8221; the 72-year-old told host, Sarah Grynberg. &#8220;I think everyone&#8217;s taking everything so seriously,&#8221; the actress added. &#8220;I think we need to relax a little bit and just enjoy things for what they are and I didn&#8217;t see it like that at all, I think it&#8217;s just a fun movie that entertains people.
