Football star Travis Kelce (34) becomes an actor in a horror series entitled “Grotesquerie”.
Wednesday 8 May at 1:45 p.m
Kelce, best known as a Kansas City Chief player – and as the new boyfriend of pop queen Taylor Swift (34), has got a new job.
This is confirmed by actress Niecy Nash-Betts (54), who also has a role in the TV series.
– Guys, guess who I’m working with in “Grotesquerie”, says Nash-Betts in a video on Instagram.
Then a smiling Travis Kelce appears behind her with the message:
– Leaping into new territory.
Nash-Betts writes under the video: «This happens when winners join forces».
TV producer Ryan Murphy (58), the man behind series such as “Nip/Tuck”, “Glee” and “American Horror Story”, is creating the TV series for Disney’s FX, reports Sky News.
Kelce has shared his opponent’s post to his 6.4 million followers on Instagram.
Nash-Betts shows several glimpses on InstaStory, where Ryan Murphy is seen patting Kelce on the shoulder and thanking him for a job well done.
– I’m just glad I didn’t hurt anyone, says a joking Kelce.
It may therefore look like his contribution to the series has been recorded. How big and important the role is is not known.
That he can look scary if he wants to, Kelce has proven on the field – like during the Super Bowl final in February:
As for the new horror series, Kelce is joined by Courtney B. Vance (64) and Lesley Manville (68), among others.
The series premieres in the autumn.
Travis Kelce has been a well-known name in the football community for many years, but after he became friends with Taylor Swift last autumn, he has gained a bunch of new fans.
Last week he partied on stage with Norwegian Kyrre “Kygo” Gørvell-Dahll (32) in Las Vegas.
