TRAVIS Kelce has been incessantly picking the brain of The Rock as he prepares to launch a post-NFL acting career.
The U.S. Sun understands the three-time Super Bowl-winning Kansas City Chiefs tight end met with WWE legend and Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson for some Brazilian-style Rodizio barbeque at his Los Angeles pad recently to talk about how to crack the film industry.

Travis, according to a well-placed source, idolizes The Rock and is desperate to follow the same path.
He wants to forge a career on the silver screen once he calls time on his sporting career – and The Rock is happy to help him realize his dream.
“They have been speaking to each other a lot recently,” said the insider. “They spent hours at his house talking about their life, careers, and ambitions. The Rock is the person whose path he wants to follow.”
A-LIST AMBITIONS
The U.S. Sun revealed earlier this year that Tinseltown film producers want the Kelce brothers to star in an action movie with a $100 million budget.
Travis is eager to build on his newfound mainstream fame, which has skyrocketed since his relationship with Taylor Swift became public knowledge.
Sponsors, meanwhile, are falling over themselves to work with the 34-year-old – Nike is keen to establish him as the face of their brand in Asia while Singapore Airlines has approached him and the Cruel Summer singing sensation with a lucrative ambassadorial role.
His advisors want him to jump upon his popularity and become a “heavyweight” in the entertainment industry, with forays into film, music festivals, podcasts and TV appearances all on the radar.
HOLLYWOOD HOMEWORK
Travis’ connection with A-listers like Johnson, however, are proving invaluable for the chances of creating a stellar second career once his time in the NFL draws to a close.
