Key Takeaways:
– Kansas City Chiefs Tight End Travis Kelce goes full swing into his acting career.
– Kelce debuts in the upcoming FX show ‘Grotesquerie’ and will make a cameo in Adam Sandler’s ‘Happy Gilmore 2.’
– Kelly is reported to be in talks for a significant role in an action movie called ‘Loose Cannons’ from the creators of the ‘John Wick’ series.
After shooting to fame surpassing his teammate Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is making waves off-field. Not only has he been dating pop icon Taylor Swift, but he’s also been making headway into the acting scene. Sounds fun, doesn’t it?
Entering the World of Acting
Kelce is poised to make his first appearance in a Ryan Murphy horror series named ‘Grotesquerie.’ This isn’t some low-budget, dingy series, either. It’s going to air on FX, one of the big networks, and will feature stars like Niecy Nash-Betts, Courtney B. Vance, and Lesley Manville. Ryan Murphy is working with Jon Robin Baitz and Joe Baken on this project, which are all big names in the movie industry!
A Little Bit of Comedy
Apart from this serious acting stuff, Kelce will be doing a bit of comedy as well. Adam Sandler, who has a knack for roping in sports personalities for fun roles in his movies, has found a spot for Kelce in none other than the Netflix sequel of ‘Happy Gilmore,’ – ‘Happy Gilmore 2.’ That’s right, one of the funniest golf-themed films ever will have our guy Travis in a special cameo.
Sandler shared his thoughts on Kelce during ‘The Tonight Show’ with Jimmy Fallon. He thinks that everyone will love Kelce’s natural charisma, charm, and humor. Talking about Kelce, Sandler joked, “What a stud and he’s so funny.” Well, Sandler, we’re excited!
Loose Cannons and the Rush Hour Team
Perhaps the most significant opportunity for Kelce may be an action film in development at Lionsgate. The Hollywood Reporter has hinted that Kelce is currently discussing a starring role in a movie called ‘Loose Cannons.’
The team behind this project is the same one that handled the ‘John Wick’ franchise, with star director Chad Stahelski and producer Jason Spitz both involved. They’ll be coordinating with their production company 87Eleven Entertainment, in partnership with Alex Young. And guess who wrote the script? It’s Tim Dowling, who also worked on the Adam Sandler comedy ‘Just Go With It.’
The ‘Loose Cannons’ plot sounds pretty cool, with the film centered around two out-of-control police officers who everyone avoids. However, when budget cuts force their precincts to merge, they’re stuck working together on cases no one else can handle. This script combines the vibes of ‘Lethal Weapon,’ ‘Bad Boys,’ and ‘Rush Hour,’ so it promises to be a fun ride!
In a nutshell, Travis Kelce is expanding his notoriety from the football field into the glitzy world of Hollywood. With his debut in ‘Grotesquerie,’ a fun cameo in ‘Happy Gilmore 2,’ and potentially a significant role in ‘Loose Cannons,’ it’s clear that Kelce is making some intelligent plays off-field as well!
