“A star is a star — and he's a star. He's so charismatic, and he's so smart, he's lovely. He had a window of time. He asked me to work up something for him. I did. It was an honor. He knew everybody's lines. He had a great discipline, and he is everything you want him to be. He's a leader, and so sweet and so charming, first on the set, last to leave."

Moreover, when asked about the future of Travis Kelce in Hollywood, Ryan Murphy expressed his belief in the Chiefs' tight end. 'Grotesquerie' director stated that Kelce has the talent to succeed in the industry.

"If Travis Kelce wants to be a big movie star, he could do it," Ryan said. "You can see in the show, he can act. And he's talented. The world is his oyster. He can do anything," Murphy concluded.

Travis Kelce's 'Grotesquerie' co-star Niecy Nash-Betts revealed plans to watch TE play

Travis Kelce's co-star Niecy Nash-Betts, who plays the role of detective Lois Tryon in 'Grotesquerie', was interviewed by PEOPLE on Thursday. During the interview, Nash opened up about her plans to watch Kelce play in the upcoming Chiefs games.

“When he comes here to play, my better half and I will be at that game. So yes, I'm going to get to see him, but also I saw him play in the Super Bowl. But we didn't know each other then. Now it's different. At first, it was just like the game and now it's like, 'Oh, there's my friend Travis. Hey Travis!' That's different. It's personal now," Nash said.

Just like Niecy Nash-Betts, Chiefs fans are looking forward to watching Travis Kelce play in the upcoming Week 4 game.

More specifically, fans are on the lookout to see the tight end improve his performance on the field. Talking about his low performance, Kelce's mother Donna recently stood up for his son following massive backlash from fans.
