"I’ve never seen Jesus look like this..." - Travis Kelce hilariously reacts to lookalike mural of Jesus Christ

In the new episode of New Heights, released on April 2, brothers and NFL players Jason and Travis Kelce spent a section of the podcast analyzing some of Travis Kelce's doppelgängers.

These doppelgängers in question were images of people that fans of Kelce thought resembled the Kansas City Chiefs player, tagged on various social media platforms. Kelce was mentioned in numerous images, and it was evident that fans saw shades of the Chiefs’ tight end in people who weren’t even remotely related to him. Apart from the comments section of their podcast, the topic of Travis Kelce’s lookalikes had also gained interest on Reddit, a forum-style social media website where users can anonymously post their views.

One fan reaction that drew Travis’ attention was an image of a mural of Jesus Christ. A fan of the football player had posted an image of Jesus’ mural, which, according to the fan, looked just like Travis Kelce. According to the post, the image was taken by the Reddit user from a nearby church.

Travis found the comparison hilarious but did not seem to agree. Zooming in on the image for the audience to see, he presented the photograph and let them judge for themselves, saying:

“Why? I’ve never seen Jesus look like this”

The image had been posted on the New Heights podcast’s Reddit page, where the fan had stated:

“This church mural in my neighborhood looks oddly familiar”

The particular image also caught the attention of Jason Kelce, Travis' older brother and co-host, who retired in 2024 after a long career with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Observing the image, Jason could not help but find resemblances between the mural of Jesus Christ and his brother. Reacting hilariously, he commented:

“If you had long long wavy hair this would be exactly what this picture would look like… so you are Jesus Christ”

The topic of Travis Kelce with longer hair is not new

The image of Jesus Christ in the mural on Reddit, which many claim looks like Travis Kelce, made Jason think out loud about how his brother would look with long hair.

As a matter of fact, the length of Travis’ hair has been a topic of discussion in the media in the past as well. It was reported by The Sporting News that pop star Taylor Swift, who began dating Travis in 2023, would prefer it if her boyfriend had longer hair. The report also mentions how there has been a considerable change in Travis’ appearance ever since he started dating Swift.

In the April 2 episode of New Heights, even Travis’ brother ended up suggesting that Travis should grow his hair. While observing the image of Jesus’ mural, which resembled Travis, Jason commented on the hairstyle in the image, saying:

“This is a good look, this is like an 80s Travis Kelce right here”

The thought of himself with long hair somehow struck a chord with Travis. He laughed and commented:

“That’s like me if I was in the Bee Gees”

The siblings burst into laughter, and organically, the discussion of long wavy hair, which began with the Jesus Christ mural, shifted to the Bee Gees.

In a clip of the podcast posted on social media, the two brothers can also be seen reacting hilariously to a photoshopped image of Travis Kelce projected onto the face of a Bee Gees band member.
