Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs tight end, is in talks to star in the action-comedy film Loose Cannons, which is being produced by Lionsgate and 87Eleven Entertainment. The movie revolves around two “unhinged” cops who are paired together to straighten each other out. Production is not expected to begin soon as Kelce is gearing up for the upcoming NFL season. This role would mark Kelce’s biggest foray into the entertainment industry, with his popularity having soared in recent times due to his relationship with Taylor Swift.
Kelce has been vocal about his desire to make a mark in Hollywood, having expressed on his podcast with his brother in May that he was actively seeking out movie deals. He is set to make his acting debut in Ryan Murphy’s new horror series Grotesquerie, scheduled to premiere on FX on September 25. In the podcast episode, Kelce hinted at having a significant role in the show but mentioned that he was still getting used to the process of acting and remembering his lines. He expressed gratitude and excitement for the opportunity given to him by Murphy.
In addition to his role in Grotesquerie, Kelce is also set to host Amazon Prime Video’s game show Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, which will debut on October 16. The show is a variation of the classic format of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? Kelce, a fan of game shows since childhood, shared his excitement about hosting his first show and following in the footsteps of other TV icons who have hosted similar programs. He expressed his eagerness to see how the celebrities on the show would fare in the competition.
Kelce mentioned that he was taken aback by the opportunity to work with Murphy in Grotesquerie and was determined to give his best performance to make the creator proud. He acknowledged the unique and cool nature of being offered such a significant role in his first acting gig, emphasizing his gratitude for the chance. Kelce expressed his hopes of not disappointing Murphy and was dedicated to delivering a performance that would meet the expectations set for him.
With his impending roles in both Grotesquerie and Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, Kelce is poised to make a substantial entrance into the world of entertainment. His growing fame, fueled by his high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift, has opened doors for him to explore his Hollywood ambitions further. As he balances his NFL career with his emerging acting and hosting gigs, Kelce seems eager to prove himself in the entertainment industry and show audiences a different side of his talent and personality.
