We detailed how the 34-year-old relished picking the brains of The Rock earlier this year, that his smash-hit podcast with brother Jason has been attracting huge sponsorship deals, and that Tinseltown bosses want both of them to appear in a $100 million action movie.

Travis has burst into the mainstream due to his relationship with Taylor Swift. He rubs shoulders with A-listers at every glitzy event they attend.

According to a source close to the Kelce family, his trip to Flushing Meadows was no different.

The three-time Super Bowl winner enjoyed a cozy chat about breaking into acting with box-office legend Matthew McConaughey.

The insider told The U.S. Sun that Travis had a “long talk” with the Academy Award-winning star, who happens to be one of his favorite actors.

“They had a great chat about the movie industry,” the source confirmed.

“They spoke about navigating it after so many years, about his experience, and about getting some advice.”

McConaughey, who was cheering on home hope Taylor Fritz, looking resplendent in a Stars and Stripes bandana, is also a huge sports fan.

He wasted no time picking Travis’ brain now that the NFL season is fully up and running.

“Matthew loves football, so he was keen to talk about that too,” added the insider.

Music stars Usher and Bad Bunny also stopped by for a chat, with Travis desperate to tap into every available resource.

As detailed by The U.S. Sun, there are plans to extend his annual Kelce Jam festival to other cities in the United States.

“Travis always wants to extend his network,” the source continued.

“He knew many people in the sports, movie, and music industry were going to be at the tennis.”

The U.S Sun understands Travis sent a trusted team member to the acclaimed Mostra film festival in Venice last week to “see if he could get opportunities in international movies for his image and help with branding.”

Travis Kelce The Actor

NFL star Travis Kelce recently landed his first major acting role and has a new cameo

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end plans to become a “heavyweight” figure in music and entertainment.

Kelce has seen his star power rise after going public with his girlfriend Taylor Swift last summer.

The 34-year-old has now been cast in the new horror series Grotesquerie.

Directed by American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy, the drama is set to land on FX this fall.

Kelce will appear in the show alongside Niecy Nash-Betts, Courtney B. Vance, and Lesley Manville.

In August, Adam Sandler confirmed Travis will make a cameo in his upcoming Happy Gilmore sequel.

The news comes after Travis previously showed interest in appearing in a possible reboot.

Kelce is already starting to build a career in Hollywood, even with a few years left on his Chiefs contract.

He is debuting in two TV projects this fall, hosting a game show and playing a mysterious drama role.

Kelce is hosting the new show Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? that will stream on Prime Video. The show is a reboot of the classic program Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?

His newest acting project comes in the form of FX’s Grotesquerie, and fans haven’t gotten much of a preview of his role in the show.

Kelce made a brief appearance in the trailer of the show, but the full extent of his role will be revealed when the show debuts on September 25.
