Like father, like son.

John Travolta shared a rare video of his look-alike son, Ben, on Instagram Wednesday. The actor posted a clip of the 14-year-old impressively climbing a mountain in Norway, set to Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell’s song “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.”

Ben — who dressed appropriately for the frigid temperatures in a white jacket, black pants and snow boots — impressively reached the top and flashed a big smile while enjoying the stunning view.

“Ain’t no mountain high enough for my son Ben,” Travolta captioned the video. “Love from Norway.”

The “Grease” star’s daughter, 25-year-old Ella Bleu, showed her love for her younger brother, commenting, “🙌😍.”

Fans also enjoyed seeing a glimpse of Travolta’s youngest child. The actor, 71, shared Ben, Ella and his late son, Jett, with his late wife, actress Kelly Preston.

“Incredible. You’re doing an amazing job raising those kids,” one person commented. “I’m sure Kelly would be thrilled and ever so proud.”

“Wow! Ben’s all grown up. What an amazing view. 😍,” another fan commented.

One fan chimed in, “Kelly would be already glad that Ben is growing. 🥹.”

Some fans also marveled at how much Ben looks like his famous father.

“At a glimpse I see a mini JT! 🥰,” a comment reads.

“Looks like his brother and dad ❤️,” one fan observed.

Preston died in 2020 after a battle with breast cancer. Travolta recalled having a hard conversation with Ben about his mother’s death during a 2021 appearance on Kevin Hart’s Peacock talk show, “Hart to Heart.”

He shared that Ben feared his father would die soon after his mother.

“I went through the differences about my longevity and her limited life,” he recalled. “I said, ‘But you know, Ben … you always love the truth, and I’m going to tell you the truth about life. Nobody knows when they’re gonna go or when they’re going to stay.’”

The “Saturday Night Fever” star also said he told Ben that they should just continue to live each day knowing that death is a part of life.

“‘Your brother [Jett] left at 16. Too young. Your mother left at 57. That was too young. But who’s to say? I could die tomorrow. You could. Anybody can,’” he recalled telling his son. “So let’s look at it like it’s part of life. You don’t know exactly. You just do your best at trying to live the longest you can.”
