Arnold Schwarzenegger believes that Travis and Jason Kelce are set to follow his path from athlete to actor. During a recent episode of the brothers' "New Heights" podcast on Wednesday, April 3, the 76-year-old actor mentioned that Jason may be in talks for movie roles. Schwarzenegger noted that the brothers previously did interviews from different locations, but now they are together in Hollywood. He jokingly commented, "I'm not stupid, right? There's a reason why those guys are out here together in Hollywood." He also mentioned that interviews for movie roles are being scheduled for them.
Travis, 34, asked Schwarzenegger if he had any specific roles in mind for him and Jason, 36. Schwarzenegger playfully hinted that they already knew the answer to Travis' question. "You guys have something planned. You're just not telling us yet," he joked. "I understand how it works."
Schwarzenegger mentioned that he didn't always get to choose the movies he starred in. He expressed his satisfaction with the variety of work he has done in the entertainment industry.
Travis expressed his admiration for Schwarzenegger's transition from sports to acting, highlighting how he never hesitated to enter new territories. Travis noted Schwarzenegger's professionalism across different industries, including sports, entertainment, and politics, where he always managed to connect with people and demonstrate his capabilities.
Following his victory in Super Bowl LVIII with the Kansas City Chiefs, Travis has been selected to host a new version of the game show Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader, now titled Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity, for Amazon's Prime Video. According to an insider in the latest issue of We magazine, Travis will undergo rehearsal and media coaching in the coming weeks before filming begins this summer.

The hosting deal was set up before Travis became well-known. He has recently achieved back-to-back Super Bowl victories and has also been in the news for dating Taylor Swift.
Which celebrity couple do you wish to see getting engaged next?
Steve Harvey, known for his role on Family Feud, offered some hosting advice to Travis Kelce. He warned Travis to be careful because he might not be smarter than a fifth grader. Steve shared that his longevity on Family Feud is due to knowing he is not smarter than the contestants. He waits for them to make a mistake and then takes advantage of it.
Jason appeared in a cameo on the season 3 premiere of Abbott Elementary with Jalen Hurts and Brandon Graham from the Philadelphia Eagles. Following his retirement from the team a month later, there have been rumors of him returning to football as a cohost on Monday Night Football's pregame show.
His wife, Kylie Kelce, recently mentioned on the April 1 episode of Today that Jason is open to exploring various career opportunities. She believes he excels in everything he tries, which can be a bit frustrating at times. Kylie expressed that she thinks Jason is full of ideas and is excited to see where they may lead him.
