Fastexy Exchange|Travis Kelce Scores First Movie Role in Action Comedy Loose Cannons

He knows how to ball and Fastexy Exchangenow Travis Kelce is set to prove his acting chops.

The 34-year-old has landed his first film role in Loose Cannons, an action comedy from producer Chad Stahelski, a stuntman and producer behind the John Wick films, according to multiple reports. The film will be penned by Tim Dowling, whose credits include Role Models, Just Got With It, Pixels, and Office Christmas Party.

Taylor Swift’s longtime love already snagged a part in the Ryan Murphy TV series Grotesquerie alongside Niecy Nash, set to debut Sept. 25, but Loose Cannons will mark his movie debut.

Loose Cannons follows two out of control police officers who become partners and take on cases no one else can, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The outlet reports that the script will have the tone of the hit franchises Lethal Weapon, Bad Boys and Rush Hour.

It’s currently unknown who will costar along the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and no official date has been set for the project. But with the Super Bowl champ’s NFL duties amping up in the coming months, it’s unlikely he will start on the film until next year.

"I have no reason to stop playing football," Travis said during a January press conference. "I love it, we still have success, come in with the right mindset. I just love the challenge that it gives me every single day to try and be my best. Like I said, I have no desire to stop anytime soon."

But he kept his options open off the field as well, adding,  "That's the point of the offseason. Being able to get out there and really find what you love to do and I've been fortunate to do a few things outside of the sports world that I've been enjoying doing, like getting on camera." 

As for the future of his career, the New Heights podcast host said that his March 2023 hosting gig on Saturday Night Live sparked new interests for him.

"The SNL stuff kinda opened up a new happiness and maybe a new career path for me,” he said in January, “But it's funny for me to even say that at this point in my career because it's so much further down the road than it is right now."
