Travis Kelce is taking his talents to Hollywood, as a new report says the Chiefs star will be the executive producer of an upcoming indie film — and with a little help from President Biden.
Kelce won his third Super Bowl with the Chiefs on Sunday as Kansas City defeated the 49ers in Las Vegas, winning 25-22 in overtime.
And while the tight end hinted that he's returning for a 12th season, his empire is expanding as Variety has reported that he's attached to the film “My Dead Friend Zoe.”
The article describes the film as a “dark comedy” starring Natalie Morales, Ed Harris and Morgan Freeman, as well as Sonequa Martin-Green. It is the first time that Kelce has worked on a film.
“My Dead Friend Zoe” is set to premiere at SXSW on March 9, according to Variety.

And Kelce already has plans for another film, with him and producers Mike Field and Ray Maiello also financing a Jean-Michel Basquiat documentary called King Pleasure.
Both films will be made using President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, introduced in 2022. “My Dead Friend Zoe” cost less than $10 million to make, using money from green energy entrepreneur Mike Field — who is also listed as a producer — and the sale of excess tax credits.
The US Department of Energy website states that the Inflation Reduction Act is “the largest single investment in climate and energy in American history, enabling America to address the climate crisis, advance environmental justice, America's position as a global manufacturing leader “Secure clean domestic energy and.” “The United States will be on track to achieve the Biden-Harris administration’s climate goals, including a net-zero economy by 2050.”
Kelce had nine catches for 93 yards as the Chiefs erased a 10-point deficit and ultimately won Super Bowl LVIII.
And cameras caught Kelce sharing an emotional moment with his pop star girlfriend Taylor Swift afterwards.
Kelce hugged Swift and said, “Thank you for coming, baby.” Thank you very much.

A stunned Swift, who had asked her boyfriend: “How did you do that?” then replied: “It was incredible.”
Kelce lost his temper and shoved Chiefs coach Andy Reid after an Isiah Pacheco fumble in the first half, but recovered in the second half when he captured his third ring.
He and his Chiefs teammates will celebrate their title with a parade on Wednesday.
