Travis Kelce\u00a0is getting candid about his new\u00a0Pepsi commercial!<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0tight end, 34, detailed his appearance as a gladiator in the soda brand\u2019s\u00a0latest commercial for NFL game day\u00a0on his\u00a0New Heights<\/em>\u00a0podcast with brother\u00a0Jason Kelce\u00a0\u2014 including the one-of-a-kind armor he wore.<\/p>\n

“That was awesome,\u201d Travis said of getting to star in the ad. \u201c… Like, when you get to put on a cool outfit like that \u2014 like Pepsi custom made our armor, our gladiator’s armor.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWas that [real]? Is it actually metal or is it like plastic?,\u201d Jason, 36, then asked. \u201cDon’t lie. Don’t lie to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s full [armor],\u201d the Chiefs player joked. \u201cI had to defend myself from a tiger. You think that s—‘s plastic? Plastic. You’re ridiculous, Jason.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that he even got to \u201ckeep\u201d the custom-made outfit, which he admits \u201cis pretty sweet.\u201d “That is pretty cool,” added Jason.<\/p>\n

In the commercial, Travis plays a gladiator alongside fellow NFL players\u00a0Josh Allen,\u00a0Derrick Henry\u00a0and\u00a0Justin Jefferson\u00a0\u2014 whom he showered with praise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey all did f—–g unbelievable jobs,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd sure enough, the director,\u00a0Jake Scott, is the son of\u00a0Ridley Scott\u00a0who directed the actual movie\u00a0Gladiator<\/em>, and I cannot wait to see that movie [Gladiator II]. It looks so good.”<\/p>\n

\u201cJake did an unbelievable job,\u201d he continued. \u201cJake just \u2014 he brawled us through everything and knocked everything out real fast, and it was just awesome. He knew exactly how he wanted to get everything shot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Travis noted that working with the director, 59, went smoothly as well, and he was able to follow Jake\u2019s direction on where he wanted to take the scenes and what he wanted to show in the ad.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, he was unbelievable at giving me the [directions], literally,\u201d he explained. \u201cSo I’m coachable, man. You coach me up. I can do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah \u2026\u00a0 it was an awesome final product,\u201d retired Philadelphia Eagles player Jason added. \u201cYou guys fended off the tigers. You danced. You sang. You came together as a group of friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

Travis added, \u201cAs gladiators do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Travis\u00a0previously raved\u00a0about his role in the beverage brand’s “Make Your Gameday Epic\u201d NFL campaign and getting to star among so many notable names.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s an absolute honor to be a part of something like this,\u201d Kelce said in the\u00a0clip\u00a0posted on Pepsi\u2019s official TikTok page on Friday, Sept. 20.\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m so grateful to Pepsi for asking me to be a part of it. Just getting the thumbs up that I could handle the load of being a gladiator, I guess.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cIt’s such a cool experience, and I’m excited that I got the opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
