Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce is expanding his horizons beyond the football field with a new role in Ryan Murphy’s FX horror series Grotesquerie. The news was confirmed by Grotesquerie star Niecy Nash-Betts in an Instagram video, which also revealed that Kelce will be joining a talented cast including Courtney B. Vance and Lesley Manville.
While Kelce’s specific role in the show has not yet been revealed, this is just the latest step in his Hollywood takeover. The tight end has been making a push into the entertainment industry, recently hosting SNL and appearing in sketches with his brother Jason. He is also set to host a revival of the game show Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? on Amazon Prime Video.
In addition to his acting gigs, Kelce is flexing his producing muscles with a documentary about artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. He recently launched Kelce Jam, his own music festival, showcasing his love for both sports and music.
Kelce’s pop culture moment has been on the rise, fueled by his team’s recent Super Bowl win and his high-profile relationship with singer Taylor Swift. Fans can’t wait to see what the multi-talented star will bring to the small screen in Grotesquerie. Stay tuned for more updates on Kelce’s Hollywood journey in Heartland Magazine.
