The performer who gained notoriety for his impressive Rob Gronkowski depiction in the latest Aaron Hernandez series is eager to hit the jackpot again with his next portrayal as Travis Kelce … expressing to TMZ Sports his desire to win the hearts of the Swifties!!
Laith Wallschleger skyrocketed to fame after his portrayal of the iconic New England Patriots tight end debuted on “American Sports Story” … and fans have been quick to highlight his flawless imitation of Gronk’s distinct laughter.
Awaiting approval to load the Instagram content.
Interestingly, Laith has had ample time to familiarize himself with the subject … since he’s quite chummy with Gronk over the years — having partied with the four-time Super Bowl champion numerous times.
Wallschleger noted that it’s been an “absolute whirlwind” since the show premiered … and he takes pride in being the humorous element in such a serious project.
Looking ahead, Wallschleger — who has also served as a stand-in and stunt double for other NFL players like the Watt Brothers and Zach Ertz in the past — is now setting his sights on his forthcoming Lifetime film “Christmas in the Spotlight,” centered on the love story between a pop icon and a football star (ring any bells??).
This project appears to draw inspiration from the romance between Taylor Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end … and Wallschleger — a former football athlete himself — hopes all of the Grammy winner’s fans will recognize his contribution.
