Jason and Travis Kelce are 'excited' for mom Donna's upcoming acting debut with Hallmark
Travis Kelce's skyrocketing fame has started a chain effect of success. Be it NFL, podcasting, or on the big screen, Kelces are ruling now. After Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce, his mother, Donna Kelce, is preparing for her Hollywood debut in the upcoming Hallmark movie, Holiday Touchdown.
In Wednesday's episode of the "New Heights" podcast, both Travis Kelce and his elder brother and ex-Eagles center, Jason Kelce looked over the moon to discuss Mama Kelce's acting debut.
The Philadelphia Eagles veteran, who is not a regular viewer of Hallmark films, is keen on watching this one.
“Got to admit, I have not seen a lot of Hallmark movies. I'm excited to watch this one," Jason said. [3:01 onwards]
Travis quickly chimed in and brought up how Donna is playing the role of a manager of a BBQ joint in the movie.:
"Mama Kel is, um, she owns a barbecue joint," said the three-time Super Bowl champion.
To which, Jason quipped:
“That’s right, she’s a manager of a barbecue restaurant. Mom can cook a lot of things. I don’t think she’s ever made a barbecue. I mean, like, not even barbecue sauce. Don’t remember that being a thing that Mom would do. That was Dad’s deal.”
That said, ex-banker turns actress--that would be an interesting storyline to follow.
Well, not many NFL fans are aware that Donna Kelce is a retired banker who worked in this industry for 30 years. While studying at Ohio University, she pursued a B.Sc. in communications and later completed his MBA from Baldwin Wallace University.
