Ben lives in Florida with his famous father and older sister Ella, an aspiring singer and actress.

This isn't the first time that John has shared footage of Ben swinging off a bar either, as back in May the actor posted another clip of the 11-year-old's gymnastics skills, which again received mass praise from his followers.

John is a doting father to his children and while Ben is not yet on social media, his oldest daughter Ella made sure to pay a public tribute to her dad last weekend as they marked Father's Day.
