Fans were doing double takes as the Kansas City Chiefs star unveiled a dramatic new look on Ryan Murphy’s latest horror series, Grotesquerie. Kelce, known for his football prowess, is now flexing his acting muscles and fully committing to his role on the show—right down to his hair.
Playing Ed Laclan, a hospital orderly with a dark edge, Kelce took his character’s transformation to the next level by debuting a striking mullet in the seventh episode, which aired on Wednesday night. In a video posted on the FX series’ Instagram page, Kelce revealed his fresh ‘do, sparking immediate reactions from fans who couldn’t help but notice a resemblance to iconic country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, famous for his own mullet and “Achy Breaky Heart” days.
“WHAT IN THE BILLY RAY. We want nurse Travis back lol,” one fan joked, referring to Kelce’s portrayal as a hospital orderly in earlier episodes. The comparison to the country legend wasn’t the only observation, as fans flooded social media with their thoughts on Kelce’s bold transformation.
“That’s an insane transformation omg, so excited to see what’s coming ???,” another fan commented, clearly intrigued by what Kelce’s character has in store.

Social media also drew comparisons between Kelce and his older brother, Jason Kelce, who famously rocked a mullet back in 2020. “Twinnnn??,” wrote one user on X (formerly Twitter), sharing a side-by-side of the two brothers sporting the retro hairstyle. Another added, “Is it just us, or does Travis Kelce somewhat resemble mullet Jason Kelce in this latest episode of Grotesquerie?”
The mullet, a bold style choice, has become a signature part of Travis Kelce’s on-screen transformation, adding to the eerie vibe of his character on the show.
As Grotesquerie continues to build suspense, Kelce’s portrayal of the mysterious Ed Laclan has captivated viewers, who are eager to see how his character develops in the final episodes.
With just three episodes left in the 10-part series, fans are glued to their screens, eager for more plot twists—and perhaps more unexpected hair changes from Kelce. One enthusiastic viewer summed it up best, commenting on the series’ Instagram page, “All these episodes are BONKERS!! Last night, I was like, WTF!! So good, though, so good!! Fast Eddie, that change, Wow!”
The series has been full of surprises, and Kelce’s commitment to his role—mullet and all—has only heightened the anticipation for what’s to come. With each episode, Grotesquerie delivers more suspense, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the next twist in both the storyline and Kelce’s evolving look.
