Travis Kelce Shows Off Mullet For FX's Grotesquerie

In a surprising hair transformation for his role on FX's horror series "Grotesquerie," Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, 35, debuted a mullet, dramatically embodying Ed Laclan, a character he portrays. Previously recognized for his clean buzz cut, Kelce flaunted his new look in an Instagram video, captioned with the curious line, "𝙽𝚘 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚒𝚜 𝚠𝚑𝚘 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚢 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖," referencing the series' theme that "nothing is what it seems." This is prepared by SSP.

Fans compared his look to Billy Ray Cyrus, known for a similar style in the '90s. One commentator humorously asked, "WHAT IN THE BILLY RAY. We want nurse Travis back lol," referring to his earlier roles where he sported his familiar short hair. Alongside his mullet, the NFL star also wore a brown leather bomber jacket and blue flannel, enhancing his lumberjack-esque transformation.

Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, noted the buzz about his fresh look while attending Glamour’s Women of the Year Awards, simply stating, "It's just different, that’s all." This style change also drew comparisons to his brother, Jason Kelce, who once rocked a mullet during his career with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Travis Kelce joined "Grotesquerie" in episode three alongside actors Niecy Nash-Betts and Nicholas Alexander Chavez. By episode seven, his character's gripping narrative had engaged viewers, leading some to draw sharp parallels with real-life drama. In the show's recent climactic episodes, Ryan Murphy, co-creator of the series, acknowledged an Easter egg that hinted at Travis's real-life relationship with singer Taylor Swift during an escape scene set to "Getaway Car," an amusing nod to fans.

As the horror drama unfolds its remaining installments, available on Hulu, audiences eagerly anticipate further surprising twists and, perhaps, more mullet days for Kelce.
