Travis Kelce is pursuing movie roles, other entertainment opportunities

Travis Kelce has already staked his claim as one of the best tight ends of all time. But as his football career winds down, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end might be looking to set himself up for a new chapter.

Kelce’s agents are “considering movie roles, developing unscripted shows for the star, exploring comedy opportunities and pursuing product endorsements,” The Wrap reported on Tuesday. Additionally, filmmakers flew to Kansas City during the Chiefs’ season to meet with Kelce about making a reality show that he wants to star in, according to The Wrap.

Kelce hasn’t been shy about showing his interest in the entertainment industry. He hosted “Saturday Night Live” in 2023 and starred in his own reality dating TV show, “Catching Kelce,” in 2016. His co-managers also told The New York Times in a story published in January that they believe he can match the fame of the most popular athlete-turned-actor in recent memory, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

Of course, Kelce’s fame reached new levels this past year due to reasons unrelated to his play on the field and his attempts to become an off-field entertainer. He began a relationship with renowned singer and 14-time Grammy Award-winner Taylor Swift, which drew as many if not
more, headlines than his play on the field en route to his third Super Bowl title.
Prior to reaching new levels of fame during the 2023 season, Kelce signed with CAA last May, having separate representatives for non-scripted TV, movies and comedy, among other purposes, according to The Wrap.
