NFL superstar Travis Kelce is set to star in Ryan Murphy's upcoming FX series Grotesquerie, in a role that Murphy said was made for him.
), Murphy reflected on how Kelce’s role came to be. Murphy said that Kelce “said he was interested in getting into acting…it ended with me saying, ‘Okay, well, I’ll keep you in mind, and maybe we’ll come up with something.’ And he said, ‘No, I want to do it now. I have three months now, and I really would love to have anything,'” said Murphy.
Murphy went on to say that he did have a role in mind for Kelce, and that he was willing to “specifically write and tailor it” for him. Kelce immediately accepted, according to Murphy, and took the job seriously, impressing Murphy in the process. “I directed the first episode he did with Niecy . Niecy and I just instantly loved him and took him by the hand and let him know that he would not, could not fail,” Murphy said. “He really was amazing. He worked with an acting coach for several months. He showed up off book. He knew everybody’s lines. He was so professional. He was so committed. He kept saying to me, ‘I’m real coachable. Coach me, coach me.
