Jason Kelce makes a fool of himself after a look-alike contest was held in his honor.
Dozens of look-alikes converged on Rittenhouse Square Park in Philadelphia on Saturday, December 14, to be crowned the best look-alike of the former Philadelphia Eagles center. Yet the bar is low, according to Kelce (37).
On the Monday, December 16 episode of ESPN’s Countdown on Monday eveningKelce expected to talk about football, but his cohosts were led by Scott Van Peltsurprised him with social media images of the match. “What are we doing now? Why is this…’ asked a bewildered Kelce.
While his cohosts joked about his doppelgängers, “There are five guys! I thought you were the man in the sweater!’ — Kelce poured cold water on the idea that he looks unique.
“Newsflash: Every overweight white man with a beard looks just like me!” he said. “It’s an easy competition. There is nothing unique about these gentlemen, except that they are tall people with beards and fair skin.”
Kelce also gave his opinion on who should have won – and it wasn’t the eventual winner.
“That guy was spot on,” he said of one of the top three competitors who wore a vest similar to Kelce’s. Big Lebowski-inspired sweater. On Monday, Kelce even changed his X profile photo to a photo of the individual.
Respond to images of the eventual winner Paul Kruisleywearing a maroon sweater, he said, “It’s okay. I think the sweater guy was more accurate.
‘I have to confess. That’s actually me, guys,” he joked about his favorite winner. “I came up with my own lookalike [contest] and I lost. Came in second.”
As flattering as it is to have your own look-alike contest – Timothée Chalamet crashed his – for Kelce it was a bit of a wake-up call.
Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce have an enviable sibling bond, full of support, laughter and of course, football. While the brothers have found success in the NFL, they have shared glimpses of their relationship off the field. Their family even served as the inspiration for Travis’ Saturday Night Live monologue, which he hosted for the first time […]
“Do you know how disheartening it is to know that there is absolutely nothing unique about you?” he joked. “Thousands of people look like you.”
Kelce further revealed that he also has a celebrity doppelgänger.
“You know how often I was compared Zach Galifianakis?” he told his cohosts. “I love Zach. He’s not even six feet tall. There is nothing about us that is even remotely the same. Our hair isn’t even the same type of hair.”
We’d let Kelce in The hangover 4!
