Donna Kelce has incredibly blunt acting advice for her son Travis

Donna Kelce, the mother of Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, revealed the advice she gave her son before his TV debut in FX's scripted series “Grotesquerie.”

The football star, who previously hosted “Saturday Night Live” and once appeared in the comedy series “Moonbase 8,” will make his major acting debut in the third episode of the new horror series with Ryan Murphy.

Donna Kelce said in an interview with Variety that she knew her son wanted to be on the show and that he could “manifest things.”

“He's not afraid to try things and he's not afraid to fail,” she said of her son, who is dating pop superstar Taylor Swift.

She continued, “You know, sometimes parents want to fix things for their kids. But sometimes it's better to just let them fail. You learn the most from things you don't do well. If that's something he wants to do, hopefully he'll get better at it.”

Donna Kelce showed solidarity with her son when she attended the New York premiere of “Grotesquerie” on Monday.

In the series, Detective Lois Tryon (Niecy Nash) teams up with sister Megan (Micaela Diamond) as the two investigate “heinous crimes” that find them “caught in a sinister web that seems to raise more questions than answers,” according to a description of the show by FX.

According to Variety, Travis Kelce plays a nurse in the series, a casting decision that “Grotesquerie” co-star and executive producer Courtney B. Vance admits simply “helps” the show.

“I mean, it would be one thing if he wasn't a nice guy,” Vance told Variety. “But he really is a nice guy.”

He continued: “It helps everyone. Ryan [Murphy] It's all about publicity and he does it better than anyone else.”

In an interview with USA Today, Donna Kelce compared her son's ability to transition from football to acting to being someone “who is like a chameleon.”

“He can be around people from all walks of life and adapt to them,” she said. “He's always been able to do that, and I think he can learn a lot from all the people he's been around.”
