Brad Pitt Opens Up To Kelce Brothers About Life As A Chiefs Fan

Brad Pitt Opens Up To Kelce Brothers About Life As A Chiefs Fan originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Brad Pitt is making the rounds.

Yes, he's promoting a movie. But he's also a sports fan, and so a hang with the Kelce brothers makes perfect sense.

"F1,'' the big-budget race car drama starring the Hollywood megastar Pitt, is already a massive hit after earning $55.6 million in its domestic opening weekend and an “A” grade from CinemaScore.

It's so big that Pitt, who plays a retired Formula 1 driver who makes a dramatic return to the track, now qualifies to be a guest on "New Heights.''

We're kidding, of course; Pitt is to film what Travis Kelce's girlfriend, Taylor Swift, is to music. And so, it is a gigantic get for the Kelce brothers' podcast.

Brothers Jason and Travis Kelce first released the news in a video posted on Instagram in which Jason announced, “Brad (expletive) Pitt is on the episode, ladies and gentlemen.''

This level of "big-shot-edness'' is becoming less and less surprising as the brothers — Jason a Philadelphia Eagles retired legend and Travis still going strong for the Super Bowl-contending Kansas City Chiefs — are growing in beyond-football celebrity status.

Jason is now an ESPN guy who gets attention in so many of the right ways, most recently for his work with the Eagles Autism Foundation, which last weekend saw him strip down to his patriotic underwear for charity.

And Travis is dovetailing with Taylor into the entertainment world, of course.

Beside the podcast, there is his fifth annual Tight End University, which is suddenly a party scene, and his budding acting career, which includes a cameo in the upcoming "Happy Gilmore 2'' movie.

And now there is a kinship with Pitt, who talks with the fellas about what it is like to be adie-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan.

But to moviegoers? Brad Pitt hanging out with the fellas is next level, and you could tell by Travis' reaction to Jason's announcement.

So ... the visit has occurred.

Andthat Chiefs fandom was part of the conversation.

Pitt, who was born in Oklahoma but grew up in Springfield, Missouri, has been on quite a ride with his team over the past decade or so, as have all fans of your Chiefs.

And he really put it all into an eloquent package for the fellas.

"You feel this sense of pride instead of, 'Life’s always out against us,'" Pitt said. "So, it’s kind of extraordinary the way we live through our teams, you guys and what it means to us."
