Why Taylor Swift's 'Fortnight' Video Co-Star Called Travis Kelce a 'Jerk'
The 'Good Wife' star Josh Charles, who appeared in Taylor Swift's 'Fortnight' music video, has sparked some controversy with his recent comments about Travis Kelce, Swift's now-fiancé. Charles, who played a scientist alongside Ethan Hawke in the video, revealed a personal story that has left some fans and observers puzzled.
During an appearance on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon', Charles addressed rumors of a 'fight' on set, clarifying that it was more of a heated exchange. He explained that he took issue with Kelce's team's victory over the Baltimore Ravens in the 2023 AFC Championship game, a loss that deeply affected Charles, a Baltimore native.
"I've always liked Travis Kelce," Charles said. "But that year, when they beat us, he was a real jerk. So, I kind of fell off of him."
On set, Charles confronted Kelce, expressing his disappointment. "When I met him, I said, 'You know I always liked you, but this year, you were kind of a d***.'"
Kelce, in a light-hearted response, admitted that the Chiefs were indeed 'most worried about that game'. He attributed their success to his confident approach, including getting one of the Ravens' veterans to commit a personal foul, which disrupted the team's focus and ultimately led to their victory.
Despite the initial tension, Charles revealed a positive interaction with Kelce. He praised Kelce's football knowledge and described him as 'such a good dude' and 'one of the most fun human beings'. However, Charles admitted that he can't watch Kelce's games because he can't root against him, indicating a lasting respect and friendship between the two.
This story highlights the complex dynamics between public figures and the personal connections that can form even in the most unexpected places, leaving fans and observers with a mix of emotions and perspectives.
