Travis Kelce is not taking shortcuts when it comes to launching his acting career.
It is believed the NFL hero has been getting advice from none other than Hollywood superstar Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson - as he embarks upon an exciting new career once he hangs up his football boots for good.
The Rock is said to have offered Taylor Swift's boyfriend Travis advice on making his move into the acting arena - over a mighty meaty barbecue where they bonded.

NFL star Travis is set to make his Hollywood debut in a significant role in Ryan Murphy's new FX series, Grotesquerie. His co-star Niecy Nash shared an Instagram post of the two together, welcoming him to the cast on Tuesday (May 7).
Kelce, who is still at the height of his incredible NFL career with three Super Bowl wins, has been exploring opportunities in film and TV. He reportedly received his first offers earlier this year and has already taken up a presenting role on the series 'Are You Smarter than a Celebrity?'.
Since going public with his relationship with Taylor Swift in September, the NFL superstar's fame has skyrocketed, with Swifties showing their support for him and his team, the Kansas City Chiefs.
His podcast with elder brother Jason Kelce has become one of the most downloaded in the United States, leading to interest in roles on TV and film.
In a video, Nash captioned: "@killatrav Welcome to Grostequerie! " also declaring "This is what happens when WINNERS link up! ! ".
Kelce will star alongside actors Courtney B. Vance and Lesley Manville in the show, which is reportedly set to be released this Autumn on Disney Plus. The show is being produced by the same creator of American Horror Story - a series known for featuring celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian and Stevie Nicks.
