Sometimes, when the phrases “rumor” and “Travis Kelce” are utilized in the identical sentence, it has one thing to do along with his relationship with Taylor Swift. That features the seemingly neverending discuss their supposed breakup or plans to tie the knot. Properly, that’s not the case on this situation, because it as an alternative includes Travis and his brother Jason Kelce’s reported obsession with a sure Rob Lowe film additionally starring Chris Farley.
Right here’s a touch… it’s not Wayne’s World.
So, the place did all this discuss concerning the Kelce Brothers and Rob Lowe come from? I lately spoke with Bo Derek forTommy Boy‘s thirtieth anniversary and, once I requested her concerning the enduring legacy of the enduring ‘90s comedy, she shared a bit rumor she heard concerning the Tremendous Bowl-winning brothers and the film from Rob Lowe himself:
And I hear the rumor, you may know this. I did not understand it. I bumped into Rob Lowe a couple of months in the past and he stated that the Kelce household, it is their favourite film they usually all get collectively and watch it. Do you know that?
Fact be instructed, I didn’t know that. Afterward, I went again and carried out a bit digging into the entire “Kelce Brothers Love Tommy Boy” scenario to see if I may discover something. Properly, I got here throughout a March 2023 clip from the Kelces’ New Heights podcast, the place they break down that 12 months’s NFL coach photograph and recite one of many funniest Tommy Boy quotes when speaking about former Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. Wait till the top of the next clip to see what I imply:
Watch On
However that isn’t all. Stumbling throughout a Wall Road Journal Journal profile on Travis Kelce from November 2023, I realized that the three-time Tremendous Bowl champ’s ringtone at one level was Chris Farley saying “For the love of GOD!” Does this imply that T-Swift is a fan of Tommy Boy and hilarious Farley quotes? God, I hope so!
With Travis Kelce set to have some sort of position subsequent to Adam Sandler within the long-awaited Comfortable Gilmore 2 (which debuts amid the 2025 film schedule), perhaps we’ll see the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs tight finish present up in additional comedies within the coming years. I’m not saying I need to see the brothers remake Tommy Boy, however he and Jason could be excellent in a buddy comedy on this vein. I imply, each have nice comedic timing, Travis has hosted Saturday Evening Reside, and with their NFL backgrounds, they might deal with the calls for of bodily comedy.
You probably have been planning on revisiting Tommy Boy for its thirtieth anniversary, now’s the right time because it’s streaming with an AMC+ subscription. And in case you’re feeling additional nostalgic, you’ll be able to decide up the newly launched 4K Blu-ray steelbook.
