Travis Kelce ‘lands his first acting role with Chiefs TE to star in Ryan Murphy’s new horror show Grotesquerie’
Travis Kelce has reportedly landed his first acting gig, with the Chiefs tight end to star in Ryan Murphy’s new horror show.
The 34-year-old, who recently became the highest-paid tight end in the NFL, has joined the star cast for Grotesquerie, according to Deadline.
Niecy Nash-Betts, Courtney B. Vance and Lesley Manville will be involved alongside Kelce, who was recently named the host of Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?
While representatives from FX, Murphy, and producing studio 20th Television declined to comment, sources told Deadline that Kelce was cast for the show expected to premier in the fall.
The reported casting for Grotesquerie comes after Kelce’s acting debut as a host on Saturday Night Live in March of 2023. With his high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift launching his fame to new levels, Kelce also made a cameo with the 14-time Grammy winner on SNL in October.
