Travis Kelce Channels His Inner Julia Roberts — Calls Himself Taylor Swift’s 'Pretty Woman'

Sometimes life hands you a script so dramatic, so over-the-top romantic, it might as well come with its own theme music and Oscar buzz. From crying like Rachel McAdams in the rain to grinning like Meg Ryan over pie, we have all, at some point, become walking movie tropes. Films have offered us catharsis, chaos, and the occasional delusion. And apparently, they have done the same for Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who has chosen his on-screen soulmate: Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman.
Travis Kelce now gleefully claims the role of the wide-eyed, lovestruck dreamer, only this time, in cleats and in love with Taylor Swift.

As if the comparisons were not enough, Travis Kelce might have experienced a full-circle Pretty Woman and Pretty Man crossover in real life.
Pretty Woman meets Pretty Man
When Travis Kelce met Julia Roberts at one of Taylor Swift’s concerts last year, the moment felt strangely familiar to him. He later joked that meeting the Pretty Woman star was like looking in a mirror, describing the uncanny resemblance between his own life and her iconic character. It was, in his words, spiritual rom-com alignment. Julia Roberts had once climbed a fire escape for love, Travis, apparently, just needs a stadium tunnel and a glittering pop star.

Reflecting on the film, Kelce summed it all up by calling himself an “NFL hooker”, a title no agent would recommend but every Swiftie now quotes. The Kansas City Chiefs star has since gone full Hollywood, recently joining Adam Sandler in an upcoming movie, solidifying his leap from postgame interviews to actual scripts. At this rate, he might just get his Pretty Man remake, Julia Roberts-approved and a
