Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce may not be starring in a Magic Mike movie anytime soon, but if he ever wants to try his hand at the art of male dancing, the opportunity is there. Following his acting debut last month in Ryan Murphy’s FX series Grotesquerie, Kelce’s performance has caught the attention of some unexpected admirers—Las Vegas strip clubs.
Kelce’s acting role in Grotesquerie was confirmed earlier this year when he was spotted on set. In the horror series, he played a character named Ed Laclan, whose backstory included a stint as a stripper.
Kelce’s portrayal of the former dancer in the show’s fourth episode seems to have sparked the imagination of more than just TV viewers.
One of Las Vegas’ most popular male revue shows, Thunder From Down Under, has extended an offer to Kelce to bring his fictional stripping experience to life. Co-owner Adam Steck expressed his enthusiasm, telling TMZ, “I think the audience would go wild for a little NFL meets Thunder magic!”
But Thunder From Down Under isn’t the only venue hoping to add Kelce to its roster. Las Vegas strip club Kings of Hustler is also vying for the Chiefs star’s talents. Their general manager, Brittany Rose, made the offer loud and clear, saying, “Travis Kelce can rock his banana hammock on our stage. I’m sure that all the Vegas Swifties will want to catch a glimpse of what Taylor is working with behind the scenes. You know he’s given her a private show.”
While the idea of Kelce trading his football helmet for a spot on stage in Las Vegas is entertaining, the likelihood of him pausing his NFL career to become a stripper is virtually non-existent. Kelce is currently one of the top tight ends in the league and remains a crucial part of the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense. With two Super Bowl rings under his belt and an ever-growing fanbase, the NFL is where his focus remains.
That said, it’s clear that Kelce’s profile has soared beyond the gridiron. His foray into acting, combined with his high-profile relationship with global superstar Taylor Swift, has catapulted him into the world of pop culture in a way few athletes experience.
Since the rumors of their romance began swirling, Kelce’s every move has been under intense media scrutiny, with fans and tabloids alike fascinated by the couple. Swift’s massive fanbase, known as “Swifties,” has taken a keen interest in Kelce, helping push him into an even brighter spotlight.
The fact that Las Vegas entertainment establishments are now throwing offers his way just goes to show that Kelce’s reach goes far beyond football. While stripping may not be in his future, everyone seems to want a piece of him, thanks to his larger-than-life persona both on and off the field.
For now, it’s safe to say Kelce will stick to what he does best—dominating the NFL and charming fans with his charisma. But with his growing presence in entertainment, who knows what the future holds?
Whether it’s in sports, acting, or something entirely different, Kelce is proving that he’s more than just an athlete—he’s a cultural icon in the making.
