Travis Kelce is taking his talents to Hollywood, as a new report says the Chiefs star will be the executive producer on a forthcoming indie film – and it’s with a little help from President Biden.
Kelce won his third Super Bowl on Sunday with the Chiefs as Kansas City defeated the 49ers in Las Vegas, winning 25-22 in overtime.
And while the tight end indicated he’s returning for a 12th season, his empire is expanding as Variety have reported that he’s involved with the movie ‘My Dead Friend Zoe.’
The article describes the movie as a ‘dark comedy’ starring Natalie Morales, Ed Harris and Morgan Freeman and Sonequa Martin-Green. It is the first time that Kelce will work on a film.
‘My Dead Friend Zoe,’ according to Variety, is set to premiere on March 9 at SXSW.
And Kelce already has plans for another film, with he and producers Mike Field and Ray Maiello also financing a Jean-Michel Basquiat documentary called ‘King Pleasure.’
Both films will take advantage of President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act – introduced in 2022 – to be made. ‘My Dead Friend Zoe’ cost less than $10million to make and used money made by green energy entrepreneur Mike Field – also listed as a producer – and his sale of surplus tax credits.
The US Department of Energy’s website says the Inflation Reduction Act is ‘the single largest investment in climate and energy in American history, enabling America to tackle the climate crisis, advancing environmental justice, securing America’s position as a world leader in domestic clean energy manufacturing and putting the United States on a pathway to achieving the Biden-Harris Administration’s climate goals, including a net-zero economy by 2050.’
Kelce tallied nine catches for 93 yards as the Chiefs erased a 10-point deficit to ultimately win Super Bowl LVIII.
And cameras caught Kelce sharing an emotional moment afterwards with pop star girlfriend Taylor Swift.
Kelce embraced Swift and said: ‘Thank you for coming, baby. Thank you.
‘Thank you for the support. Thank you for making it halfway across the world. You’re the best baby. Was it electric?
A stunned Swift, who had asked her boyfriend ‘how did you do that?’ then replied: ‘It was unbelievable.’
Kelce lost his temper and shoved Chiefs coach Andy Reid in the first half after an Isiah Pacheco fumble, but bounced back in the second half as he captured his third ring.
He and his Chiefs teammates will celebrate their title with a parade on Wednesday.
