On Wednesday’s episode of the “New Heights” podcast, Jason and Travis Kelce had another special guest in the form of iconic actor and former bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger. The conversation delved into various topics, ranging from Schwarzenegger’s understanding of the phrase “be useful” to his relationship with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. They also discuss Schwarzenegger’s iconic movies, roles he turned down, and his friendly competition with Sylvester Stallone. But the highlight of the show was how the Kelce brothers were enamored of Arnie.
The actor raved about Travis and Jason Kelce after his appearance on the podcast. Schwarzenegger took to Twitter to repost a video from their engaging conversation, expressing his sheer delight in chatting with the Kelce brothers.

Schwarzenegger praised their multifaceted talents, predicting that they are destined to shine brightly in various arenas beyond just sports. In his caption, Arnie wrote, “It was pure joy schmoozing with @JasonKelce and @tkelce. I always love talking to fantastic athletes, but I love it even more when they are branching out of just sports.

The words from Schwarzenegger carry considerable weight, given his own status as a Hollywood legend and his keen eye for talent. As Schwarzenegger predicts, the Kelce brothers’ ability to connect with audiences on a deeper level, coupled with their passion for diverse interests, positions them as stars and not just in football.
The specific clip that the former bodybuilder reposted shows the Kelce brothers asking him about his famous movie roles. Arnie thinks it’s funny how people’s favorite movies of him change from time to time. Once it used to be Conan The Barbarian, other times it’s Terminator. The actor even performs the iconic “I’ll be back” line while looking at Travis Kelce, who’s visibly impressed.
Additionally, Schwarzenegger also shares advice on staying active in retirement, his passion for American Football, and his unique morning routine involving visits from farm animals. However, what also caught fan attention was how he hypes the NFL brothers!

The brothers’ trip to LA had Arnold Schwarzenegger speculating a future in the entertainment industry for them. During the podcast, Schwarzenegger joked, “‘You know [Jason], this is maybe off the record but no-one is going to blabber out there… he’s probably here doing some interviews for movie parts.”
Travis Kelce, especially, has shown interest in post-football acting. He shared, “I’m out here in L.A. trying to get comfortable in the entertainment world.” Kelce has already expanded his role as a film producer recently, partnering with Ray Maiello and Mike Field for the upcoming documentary King Pleasure about artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, featuring never-before-seen materials from the artist’s estate.
Schwarzenegger admired the Kelce brothers’ podcast, praising their talent, energy, and humor. He said, “You’re talented, speak well, and ask interesting questions.” His support highlights their potential beyond football! What do you think? Could the brothers shine in front of a camera in different roles?
