Travis Kelce‘s acting career might take longer to achieve than he thought, despite having a superstar girlfriend and cameo appearances. The athlete recently made headlines for his surprise and brief screen moment in “Happy Gilmore 2” after first appearing in Ryan Murphy’s 2024 show “Grotesquerie.” However, it seems Kelce has a great deal more work to do for his career in the film industry to take off. A source recently weighed in on his career in showbiz and what he should do to succeed.
Travis Kelce can’t ‘waltz’ into Hollywood at will, says source
Star exclusively learned about Travis Kelce’s acting career and his role as an up-and-coming star. A source claimed that he can’t “waltz” into Hollywood at will, despite having landed a couple of roles in the past year. Kelce first made an appearance on Ryan Murphy’s thriller series on FX, “Grotesquerie,” alongside Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Niecy Nash. More recently, he had a surprise but noteworthy screen moment in the Adam Sandler-starring “Happy Gilmore 2,” which made a comeback after nearly three decades.
The Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end seemingly has a long way to go when it comes to succeeding in the film industry. The insider alleged that he is not “just going to waltz into a serious acting career,” despite his and his team’s attempts to “conquer Hollywood the way they’ve conquered football and podcasting.” Besides his brief acting stints, Kelce and his brother, Jason Kelce, also host the fan-favorite “New Heights” podcast. However, he still has “dues to pay” if he wishes to “headline action movies and comedies himself.”
Kelce has been slowly building his acting career, but he has considerable ground yet to cover. People are reportedly hoping to see him take steps out of his comfort zone and present fans with something iconic. The source believes that the audience wants to see Kelce “take some artistic risks, put himself out there and make something memorable.” Besides, he already experienced stardom in his years of dating Taylor Swift. In June, the couple reportedly made their red carpet debut after multiple public appearances.
