Travis Kelce’s reaction after Josh Charles called him a ‘d***’
Actor Josh Charles revealed the playful interaction he once had with Travis Kelce on the set of Taylor Swift’s “Fortnight” music video, where they both appeared for a cameo. In a recent interview with The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, January 5, the actor detailed the amusing exchange.
“I’ve always liked Travis Kelce, I thought he was cool, but that year they beat us in the AFC championship game — they beat the Ravens — he was a real jerk that year,” Charles said. “So I kind of fell off of him. When I met him, I said, ‘You know I always liked you, and this year you were kind of a D-I-C-K,’ ” he added.
The remark earned a cackle from Kelce, who was not offended in the slightest. “He laughed, and he said, ‘You know what, you’re right,’ ” Charles shared. The actor then recalled how Kelce reminisced about the importance that game held for the Chiefs.
“He [Kelce] goes, ‘I’m going to tell you why, because we marked down that game against your team as if we could win that game, we were most worried about that game,’ ” Charles shared.
“He’s like, ‘I had to come in with some swagger.’ And he did. He got one of our veterans to commit a personal foul, he got in our heads, and it worked for them, and they won the game,” the Best Medicine star shared. Charles concluded by praising Kelce, calling the Chiefs’ tight end “such a good dude.”
Josh Charles appeared on the “Fortnight” music video alongside his Dead Poets Society co-star Ethan Hawke. The actors played two scientists conducting an experiment in a lab with Taylor Swift strapped to a table in the background. Charles later posted some pictures from the set on his Instagram and gushed about working with Swift.
