Travis Kelce recently discussed one of the things he struggled with as a youngster.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was the subject of much criticism last season, with many suggesting he was too far past his best to be effective, with his effort during the Super Bowl standing out as one of the worst performances of his career.
Still, Kelce has opted to return next season, and whether he regains some of his prowess from years past remains to be seen.
The TE and his brother, Jason Kelce, had actor Ben Stiller on their ‘New Heights’ podcast this week. They brought up multiple topics, including Stiller’s old movie, ‘Heavyweights.’
The 1995 film saw Stiller play a fitness enthusiast who ran a camp for overweight boys who eventually turned on him because of his extreme methods.
The topic would prompt Travis to disclose he struggled with his weight as a child.
“I was a heavyweight growing up,” he recalled. “Jason, he didn’t get fat until he went to office. We switched places growing up. So Jason is more newly founded into it.”
A surprised Stiller asked, “So seriously, you were dealing with weight issues?”
“I think I was dealing with my love for honey buns,” Kelce replied. “That’s what I was kinda dealing with more.”

Despite his weight challenges, Travis Kelce claimed he was a big fan of the movie and would have wanted to attend a camp such as the one Stiller’s character was in charge of.
“I saw Heavyweights and was like, ‘Oh, man. If there’s a camp out there like that, I wanna go to it.’ Just kids that can be fat together and hide candy in their beds.”
Stiller admitted that a movie like ‘Heavyweights’ wouldn’t be produced in the current era, although he appreciated Kelce’s praise.
Kelce also faced accusations of being out of shape and not taking his condition as seriously in 2024. But losing in the Super Bowl the way he did is likely to motivate him to go out on a high note if next season will indeed be his last.
