John Travolta's dance moves have gone from Danny Zuko to dad.

But that's not to say the 59-year-old actor isn't still gettin' his groove on! In a new commercial for Ypióca, a type of Brazilian rum, Travolta shows he's still very much charmingly comfortable in his own skin.

The 30-second clip begins with the Grease star—wearing some kind of straw fedora—walking with a lot of swagger on a path alongside the beach. An attractive woman excitedly stops in her tracks to greet him, and a male vendor giddily takes a chance to cheer "John! John! Travolta," and pull him in for a hug.

When he makes it onto the sand, he loses the hat and a soccer ball rolls up to his feet. Effortlessly, he gives it a kick, and scores a goal. Baller! Travolta is clearly pumped by this and launches into a snapping, bouncing, hip-shaking dance. OK, it's a little silly. But he's got a huge smile on his face, he still has great rhythm and how freaking happy to those people look to clink shot glasses with him? Like, Sandra Dee levels of happy.

He's electrifyin'.
