On Sunday, the actor took to Instagram to reveal how he'd marked turning 70 and shared how he'd also got some birthday kisses from a special family member.

In a clip posted on his Instagram Story, Travolta blew out candles on a white frosted cake as his loved ones cheered in the background. His pet pooch Peanut then also showed him some birthday love in a sweet moment as he tucked into a slice of the cake.
