His hair appeared to have been dyed black and he sported beard dye as he joined his co-stars in the drama.
Niecy Nash-Betts, 54, was also seen heading to set dressed in a figure-hugging black dress, while Courtney B. Vance wore a doctor’s uniform and a stethoscope.
Lesley Manville will also appear alongside Kelce, who was recently named host of Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?
Travis Kelce prepared to make his acting debut while filming Ryan Murphy’s new series Grotesquerie on Wednesday.
Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, played Bombalurina in the dismal 2019 adaptation of the musical Cats, which was a critical disappointment and a box office flop.
Nash-Betts, who 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?’ She joked the actress, before panning and revealing Kelce.
‘Jumping into new territory with Niecy!’ the Kansas City Chiefs tight end proclaimed.
‘We’re on site!’ Niecy-Betts added.
Kelce reposted the video on his own Instagram Story, writing, “Entering a new world with one of the legends.”
Taylor’s nemesis, Kim Kardashian, is one of the stars of Murphy’s latest American Horror Story: Delicate.
Swift played Bombalurina in the bleak 2019 adaptation of the musical Cats, which was a critical disappointment and box office failure.
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.
His other acting credits include a role in The Giver, as well as a voice role in the Dr. Seuss animated film, The Lorax.

Taylor’s nemesis Kim Kardashian is notably one of the stars in Murphy’s latest American Horror Story: Delicate.
The Lover singer was the subject of the 2020 Netflix documentary Miss Americana, which premiered at last year’s Sundance Film Festival.
Although Cats was criticized, Taylor previously insisted she has “no complaints” about starring in the film.
Speaking at the time, Taylor, who was nominated alongside Andrew Lloyd Webber for the Golden Globe for Best Original Song for their song Beautiful Ghosts from the film, said: “I’m happy to be here, happy to be nominated, and I love it.” “I had a great time working on that strange movie.”
The casting for Grotesquerie comes after Kelce’s acting debut as host of Saturday Night Live in March 2023. With his high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift launching his fame to new levels, Kelce also made a cameo with the 14-time award winner Grammy on SNL in October.
The Kansas City Chiefs star tried unscripted television in 2016 when the dating reality series ‘Catching Kelce’ aired for one season.

Additionally, Kelce has worked behind the scenes. His most recent project came in his executive producing debut on the independent film My Dead Friend Zoe, which premiered at SXSW. Kelce will also produce a documentary called King Pleasure, which revolves around artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Kelce has long had his sights set on the television and film industries, but the tight end isn’t waiting until the end of his NFL career to dip his toe in the water. In January, Kelce revealed that he plans to be as famous as Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
Before the Super Bowl in February, Kelce reiterated his love for comedy and acknowledged the Hollywood conversations while emphasizing his focus on his football career.
