Travis Kelce Lands First Major Acting Gig — And It Sounds Horrifying
HuffPost
The three-time Super Bowl champion will star opposite Emmy winners Niecy Nash and Courtney B. Vance.
Travis Kelce has officially nabbed his first acting job — a horror series under none other than Ryan Murphy.
The Kansas City Chiefs player confirmed monthslong rumors on Tuesday about a potential career change when Niecy Nash, who was cast earlier this year in Murphy’s upcoming “Grotesquerie” series, revealed her new co-star in an adorable Instagram video.
“Guys, guess who I am working with on ‘Grotesquerie’?” Nash asked in the video before panning over to Kelce, who smilingly added: “Jumping into new territory with Niecy!”
While he successfully hosted “Saturday Night Live” in 2023 and clearly triumphs under pressure on the field, starring in a scripted series opposite Nash — who won an Emmy for her performance in Murphy’s “Dahmer” last year — is certainly uncharted territory for Kelce.
His interest was first rumored in January when a source told People that Kelce “really enjoyed” hosting “SNL” and “wants to lean into acting.” He will now be starring not only opposite Nash, but “The Crown” alum Lesley Manville and Emmy winner Courtney B. Vance.
