Jason and Travis Kelce are preparing for a new career in the world of Hollywood and are currently in Los Angeles interviewing for roles. At least, according to Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The acting legend was a superstar guest on the latest episode of New Heights, and both Travis and Jason loved delving into his life and career.
Travis in particular has been open about his plans to break into the entertainment world when he retires from the NFL, and Schwarzenegger was quick to joke about why the famous NFL brothers headed to the West Coast this week.
“I know you (Jason) are retired now, right?” the acting icon started. “So that means you (Travis) are going to go on and win another Super Bowl. (Travis: Wake me up! Wake me up, Arnie!)
‘What else are you going to do? Win another Super Bowl, that’s it. In fact, you might win another one afterward.

Arnie joked that Travis and Jason are currently in LA interviewing for various movie roles
“You now (Jason), this might be off the record, but no one’s going to be out there talking… he’s probably here doing some interviews for movie roles.
“A lot of times you guys do the show where you’re in a different place, and you’re in a different place, and it’s a split-screen thing that works really well… but now you’re together because you’re in Hollywood. I’m not stupid, there’s a reason those guys are here together in Hollywood.
“I know, there are all kinds of interviews scheduled for movie roles. You have it ready, but you don’t want to give it away yet, I know how it works.’
Jason and Travis remained tight-lipped and immediately changed course. Instead, they asked Arnie how he chooses which movies to star in.
But it’s clear that Travis has one eye on his post-football career, and he’s already started to delve into the film business after serving as executive producer of the recent film ‘My Dead Friend Zoe’.
In an interview with The Hollywood ReporterKelce was also asked about his appearance on Saturday Night Live in 2023 and whether scripted comedy is on his radar.

“That’s still true, and I’m trying to get more comfortable here in LA in the entertainment world before we get back into football, knowing that that’s my main focus in my life, and it always will be until I’m done playing,” Kelce shared.
“But I’m definitely still involved in the scripted world, the entertainment world and we’ll see where that path takes me. I’m super excited, but at the same time I know I’m a bit of an amateur in that world, so I definitely have to get comfortable and, I don’t know, throw my own creativity into it.”
On New Heights, Schwarzenegger admitted that he was already a huge fan of the Kelce brothers, following the incredible success of their New Heights podcast.
“You guys are there now… you started this two years ago, this podcast,” he noted. ‘It’s going through the roof, everyone’s talking about it. It’s fantastic. Two brothers, how great is that? Two brothers work together, play with each other, I’ve seen a few.

Travis’ relationship with pop star Taylor Swift further boosted his popularity last year
‘You have real talent, you speak well, you are full of energy and you ask interesting questions and you say funny things. (Travis: This is so cool, man).
‘So when they asked me, I immediately said ‘oh yeah’, I didn’t have to think about it because these guys are talented.’
The Kelce brothers are currently spending some time together in LA during the football offseason, with Travis set to return to the Kansas City Chiefs in the coming months.
The future, however, is less clear for Jason, after he hung up his boots last month – and is now trying to figure out what comes next.
