Niecy Nash-Betts recently shared lighthearted insights about her time working with NFL star Travis Kelce on the FX series “Grotesquerie.” In a recent interview, Nash-Betts playfully described Kelce as “greedy” when it came to food during their rehearsals. “We ate anything and everything,” she joked, emphasizing how their snack choices ranged from hearty burgers to pasta, with her being the only one opting for a salad.

Nash-Betts, who plays a small-town detective investigating a series of chilling crimes, praised Kelce as a “dream” co-star, noting his charm and preparedness on set. “He is open to learn,” she remarked, expressing confidence that his fans will be pleasantly surprised by his acting skills.

As Nash-Betts got to know Kelce during filming, she mentioned her plans to attend a Kansas City Chiefs game with her wife, Jessica Betts, and how their friendship has deepened since then. “Now it’s personal,” she said, reflecting on how her relationship with Kelce has evolved from simply watching him play to supporting a friend.

In addition to his playful side, Nash-Betts emphasized Kelce’s professionalism. “He was lovely to have on set, came prepared, and was very open to suggestions,” she stated. Kelce’s willingness to learn and engage with the cast and crew reflects his commitment to his new role, which marks his first foray into scripted television.

Travis’s mother, Donna Kelce, expressed her belief that her son has always had an interest in acting. “If I get an opportunity, I would like to try [acting],” she quoted him, showcasing his good work ethic. With positive feedback from both Nash-Betts and Donna, it seems Travis Kelce is set to make a significant impact in the acting world, just as he has on the football field.
