NextImg:Donna Kelce Has Incredibly Blunt Advice For Son Travis Ahead Of First Major Acting Role
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Donna Kelce, mother of Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, spilled on the advice she gave her son ahead of his scripted TV debut on FX’s “Grotesquerie.”

The football star, who has previously hosted “Saturday Night Live” and once appeared in the comedy series “Moonbase 8,” is set to make his major acting debut beginning in the third episode of the new Ryan Murphy horror series.

Donna Kelce, in an interview with Variety, said she knows her son wanted to do the show and that he can “manifest things.”

“He has no fear of trying things, and he has no fear of failure,” she said of her son, who is dating pop superstar Taylor Swift.

She continued: “You know, sometimes parents want to fix things for their kids. But sometimes it’s better to just let them fail. You learn the most from things you don’t do well. Hopefully, if this is something he wants to do, he’ll get better at it.”

Donna Kelce showed support for her son as she dropped by the New York premiere of “Grotesquerie” on Monday.

The series sees Detective Lois Tryon (Niecy Nash) working with Sister Megan (Micaela Diamond) as the two look into “heinous crimes” where they “find themselves ensnared in a sinister web that only seems to raise more questions than answers,” according to an FX description of the show.

Travis Kelce plays a bed nurse in the series, according to Variety, in a casting decision that “Grotesquerie” co-star and executive producer Courtney B. Vance admits “just helps” the show.

“I mean it would be one thing if he wasn’t a nice guy,” Vance told Variety. “But really, he’s a nice guy.”

He continued, “It helps everybody. Ryan [Murphy] is all about publicity, and he does it better than anyone.”

Donna Kelce, in an interview with USA Today, tied her son’s ability to go from football to acting to being someone “who’s kind of like a chameleon.”

“He can be with people of varying different walks of life and fit in,” she said. “He’s always been able to do that, and I think he has a lot to draw from with all of the individuals that he’s been around.”
