Travis Kelce Talks Growing Up 'Chubby': 'I Was Dealing With My Love For Honey Buns'

Travis Kelce says he was a “heavyweight” kid!

On the new episode of New Heights, the NFL star and his big bro Jason Kelce welcomed Ben Stiller for a chat. While they talked a little Severance, it quickly became clear they were fans of Stiller’s ENTIRE catalogue.

At one point in the podcast, the trio started talking about Heavyweights! The 1995 Disney comedy follows a group of boys sent to a camp for overweight kids. While referencing the film, Trav said:

“I was a heavyweight growing up. Jason, he didn’t get fat until he went to office. We switched places growing up. So Jason is more newly founded into it.”

Ben then asked if the Kansas City Chiefs tight end was “seriously” dealing with some weight issues, to which Jason said:

“He was chubby, I wouldn’t say he was fat.”

To which Travis said the culprit was mostly “honey buns”:

“I think I was dealing with my love for honey buns. That’s what I was kinda dealing with more.”

Aww! In fact, he said he would’ve loved to go to a camp just like in the movie:

“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. Kids that never really lived up to the excellence of their brother and just the expectations that their parents set for themselves.”

Ch-ch-check out some pics of the 35-year-old as a kid btw — he’s on the left, back when he was shorter than Jason:

So cute! And obviously he shed the baby fat and started burning off the honey buns when he started playing every sport available! Listen to what Travis had to say for yourself around the 22:20 mark (below):
