Travis Kelce The Actor
NFL star Travis Kelce recently landed his first major acting role and has a new cameo
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end plans to become a “heavyweight” figure in music and entertainment.
Kelce has seen his star power rise after going public with his girlfriend Taylor Swift last summer.
The 34-year-old has now been cast in the new horror series Grotesquerie.
Directed by American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy, the drama is set to land on FX this fall.
Kelce will appear in the show alongside Niecy Nash-Betts, Courtney B. Vance, and Lesley Manville.
In August, Adam Sandler confirmed Travis will make a cameo in his upcoming Happy Gilmore sequel.
The news comes after Travis previously showed interest in appearing in a possible reboot.
“New Heights on the surface is a sports podcast, and sports is such a well-listened-to category,” Wondery CEO Jen Sargent told Variety.
“But it’s become a cultural phenomenon – they’re in that cultural zeitgeist.”
Away from the field, Travis is eyeing up a career in Hollywood when he hangs up his pads.
The 34-year-old will have a role in the upcoming flick Happy Gilmore 2 and has struck up a friendship with lead man Adam Sandler.
“They have been talking with Sandler almost every week about it since the end of June approximately,” a source told The U.S. Sun.
“They get along super well, they are both very simple guys, easy going and chill, and they like to laugh a lot, so they are a perfect match.
“Adam is one of Travis’ idols, and he feels that the experience of working with Sandler will make him learn so much about the movie industry and acting, but also the business part of it as Sandler is a fantastic businessman too.
“Working with one of the best in the business is the best way to learn, and he sees that opportunity as a way to open more doors in the movie industry, for other acting roles and to show what he is capable of in this industry.”
