His hair appeared to be dyed black and he wore beard dye as he joined his co-stars for the drama.
Niecy Nash-Betts, 54, was also spotted heading to the set wearing a figure-hugging black dress, while Courtney B. Vance was dressed in a doctor’s uniform, paired with a stethoscope.

Kelce’s girlfriend Taylor Swift played Bombalurina in the somber adaptation of the 2019 musical Cats, which was a critical disappointment and a flop at the box office.
Nash-Betts, who has previously worked with Murphy and won an Emmy for her role in Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, shared a video from the set on her Instagram.
“Guys, guess who I’m working with on Grotesquerie?” the actors teased, before looking over to reveal Kelce.
‘Entering new territory with Niecy!’ the Kansas City Chiefs tight end was declared.
‘We on the spot!’ Niecy-Betts added.
Kelce reposted the video to his own Instagram Story, writing, “Step into a new world with one of the legends”
Swift played Bombalurina in the somber 2019 adaptation of the musical Cats, which was a critical disappointment and a box office flop.
She made her film debut in the 2010 romantic comedy Valentine’s Day, which also starred Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Taylor Lautner and Bradley Cooper.
Her other acting credits include a role in The Giver and a voice role in the animated Dr. Seuss film The Lorax.

The Lover singer was the subject of the 2020 Netflix documentary Miss Americana, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last year.
Although Cats was panned, Taylor previously insisted she has “no complaints” about starring in the film.
Taylor – who, along with Andrew Lloyd Webber, was nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Original Song for their song Beautiful Ghosts from the film – said at the time: “I’m happy to be here, happy to be nominated, and I really had a great time working on that weird movie.”
The casting for Grotesquerie comes after Kelce’s acting debut as a host on Saturday Night Live in March 2023. With his high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift taking his fame to a new level, Kelce also made a cameo with the 14-time Grammy winner on SNL in October .
The Kansas City Chiefs star tried his hand at unscripted TV in 2016, when the reality dating series “Catching Kelce” ran for one season.

In addition, Kelce has done some work behind the scenes. His most recent project was his executive production debut on the indie film My Dead Friend Zoe, which premiered at SXSW. Kelce will also produce a documentary called King Pleasure, featuring artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Kelce has long had his sights set on the TV and film industries, but the tight end isn’t waiting until the end of his NFL career to get his toes in the water. In January, Kelce revealed that he plans to become as famous as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
Before the Super Bowl in February, Kelce reiterated his love for comedy and acknowledged Hollywood speeches while emphasizing his focus on his football career.
