Doors are opening for Travis Kelce after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end expressed his desire to begin an acting career, following his increased fame due to his relationship with Taylor Swift

And it was announced on Wednesday, that Kelce is set to star in ‘Loose Cannons,’ an action comedy from Lionsgate, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

This is just the latest after he was announced as the host of Amazon Prime’s Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, a spinoff of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?, along with earning a lead role in FX’s new drama Grotesquerie.

Oh and he is set to appear in Adam Sandler’s ‘Happy Gilmore 2’.

Here is the plot of the movie, per the Hollywood Reporter.

“The premise centers on how every police precinct, at least in this movie’s world, has a crazy, out of control, rule-breaking officer on staff. But rather than pair them with a straight arrow and by the book partner, the premise here is that unhinged person is paired with someone just as out of line as they are.

In Cannons, two loose cannons are forced to partner up after their precincts merge due to budget cuts and no one wants to work with them. The duo end up taking on the cases no one else can.”

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce discusses transition to acting during Good Morning America interview

For Travis Kelce, he is taking full advantage of his increased fame.

Along with being the top tight end in the National Football League right now, he is also transitioning to acting.

Kelce landed a role in Ryan Murphy’s FX Series Grotesquerie.

So he was asked a very important question during his interview on Good Morning America in June: Are you an actor now?

“I guess you can say that,” Kelce said. “I’ve been on a few shows before. I’ve only played myself in those shows though. Definitely different portraying a character and trying to find the emotion in everything, and understanding of the script and the scene.

“It’s a challenge. I feel like an amateur right now. But I’m coachable. That’s one thing I know from being in sports, I’m a coachable guy.”
