Travis Kelce is a three-time Super Bowl champion, and now he’s officially an actor.
While the Kansas City tight end has made a couple one-off appearances on television for shows like Saturday Night Live and Moon Base 8, he’s making his debut as a series regular with Ryan Murphy’s Grotesquerie on FX.
The show, which is a gruesome murder mystery, premieres on Wednesday night, and Kelce discussed the experience with big brother Jason on the pair’s New Heights podcast.
“I haven’t seen anything yet,” Travis said at the 7:28 mark of this week’s podcast. “I’ve been focused on training camp and football as things have been getting edited and finished. I’ve just been locked in on the season.”
While Travis had access to and read the whole script, he admitted his attention was mainly on his parts so there could be some twists and turns for him as a viewer. “I’m not gonna lie, I focused on my parts more than I understood the entire grand scheme of the show. So there are parts that I was watching the trailer and was like, ‘oh, [expletive] this is, this is, this is really interesting.”
There are no spoilers coming from the long-time Chief, however. Jason accused Travis of being the killer.
“Can’t tell you. You’re going to have to watch,” Travis replied.
The first two episodes of Grotesquerie air on FX at 10 p.m. ET.
