Nicholas Alexander Chavez Dishes on Working with Travis Kelce on ‘Grotesquerie’—and He’s Shocked, Shocked I Tell You!

In the world of FX’s Grotesquerie, actor Nicholas Alexander Chavez met an unexpected teammate: none other than football powerhouse and professional end-zone dance enthusiast, Travis Kelce! In the murky, Ryan Murphy-style landscape of the show, where nothing is quite what it seems (or frankly even remotely normal), Chavez got a big dose of NFL grit, thanks to his 35-year-old co-star.

Now, in a dramatic Elle “Ask Me Anything” that feels like it could have been titled “Things You Never Knew You Wanted to Know,” Chavez unveiled the biggest shocker about Kelce: apparently, Travis Kelce, king of the Kansas City Chiefs’ locker room, brought all his football-y “team spirit” onto set. Picture it: the camaraderie, the team chants, the locker-room pep talks, maybe even the casual towel-snapping? Chavez was floored by how Kelce’s pro football skills—yelling encouragements and high-fiving like there’s no tomorrow—translated right into the world of eerie FX horror.

“He brought, like, all that teammate, like, camaraderie stuff that I had imagined,” Chavez mused, sounding a little like someone trying to explain the existence of unicorns. “I mean, he has it from being a professional football player, obviously. So, I was like, wow, he just jumped from tackling linebackers to tackling… acting scenes. Seamlessly.”

And in case anyone was picturing Chavez as a die-hard sports fan basking in Kelce’s football glow, he quickly squashed that image. Apparently, his football fandom runs as deep as his love for stadium snacks. “I’m more of, like, an ‘in-the-stadium-for-the-hot-dogs’ type of guy,” he confessed. “I need the works—pretzels, drinks, a hot dog or two. And don’t even get me started on ‘Take Me Out to the Ball Game’! I’m there to sing the classics. Even if it’s, um, not baseball.”

It sounds like Chavez walked away from Grotesquerie with two things: an appreciation for Kelce’s smooth transition from touchdown zone to horror zone and a renewed commitment to stadium snacks. Whether that’s what Ryan Murphy had in mind for character development, well… that’s a story for another day.
