The Chiefs’ TE was blown away that Murphy offered him this opportunity, sharing, “He seemed very confident that I’d be able to do this, and he kinda injected that in me the first conversation that we had. So hopefully I don’t bomb this for him.” But he’s taking it scene by scene and learning that acting is much more than just memorizing lines.
Former Philadelphia center Jason Kelce didn’t miss a beat in offering support, telling his younger bro, “No, you’re gonna do good!” As Travis Kelce steps into this new role, fans are buzzing with excitement to see how he’ll fare in Grotesquerie.
