Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors always keeps fans on their toes with the latest updates on their favorite celebrities. One recent headline that has caught the attention of many is the news that Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, will soon be making his mark on the big screen. According to reports, Kelce has landed a role in a new Lionsgate action film titled “Loose Cannons,” adding to his already impressive list of upcoming TV appearances.
Kelce’s foray into acting comes hot on the heels of his upcoming part on FX’s “Grotesquerie” and his hosting gig on the quiz show “Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?” With these new projects in the pipeline, fans are buzzing with excitement, speculating that Kelce may soon surpass even Taylor Swift’s ex in terms of acting roles.
Speaking of Taylor Swift’s ex, before Kelce, Swift was romantically linked to actor Joe Alwyn for six years. Alwyn, known for his roles in films like “Harriet,” “Boy Erased,” and “Conversations With Friends,” has been steadily building his acting resume over the years. However, with Kelce’s recent surge in acting projects, fans couldn’t help but draw comparisons between Alwyn’s body of work and Kelce’s growing list of on-screen credits.
One Swiftie’s tweet comparing Kelce’s recent bookings to Alwyn’s career sparked a viral debate online, with some fans laughing in agreement and others coming to Alwyn’s defense. Despite the playful banter, it’s clear that both Kelce and Alwyn are making waves in the entertainment industry in their own right.
While it may seem like Kelce is quickly racking up acting roles, it’s important to note that Alwyn has an impressive 14 on-screen credits to his name, including upcoming projects like “The Brutalist,” “Hamlet,” and “Hamnet.” Kelce, on the other hand, is not slowing down anytime soon, with roles in “Happy Gilmore” sequel and as an executive producer on the upcoming movie “My Dead Friend Zoe.”
In a recent interview with Good Morning America, Kelce shared his excitement about diving into the world of acting and the challenges it presents. Despite being a newcomer to the industry, Kelce expressed his willingness to learn and grow as an actor, drawing on his experience as a coachable athlete in the NFL. Fans can expect to see Kelce’s acting debut in “Grotesquerie” on September 25, where he will showcase his talent and versatility on the screen.
As the entertainment industry continues to evolve, it’s clear that both Travis Kelce and Joe Alwyn are carving out their own paths in Hollywood. Whether it’s on the football field or the silver screen, these talented individuals are proving that they have what it takes to captivate audiences and leave a lasting impression in the world of entertainment.
