WATCH Travis Kelce Throws Helmet, Has Altercation With Andy Reid

Travis Kelce is back in the headlines, but this time, it is for his football-playing exploits instead of the constant reIationship drama between him and Taylor Swift that has been ever-present throughout the last half of the Kansas City Chiefs NFL season.

As the year came to a close, the Chiefs suffered a painful 20-14 Ioss to the Las Vegas Raiders, which clearly set Kelce into a tirade.

Following a game in which Kelce’s efforts as a tight end were impactful but not up to his standards as the elite player that he has become, he was seen throwing his heImet in the first quarter and speaking his mind to head coach Andy Reid on the sideline after the loss.

This tension flared in full sight of cameras as NFL fans all across the country witnessed the turmoil.

The helmet throw, which is not typically the most uncommon sight in pro football, was a shocking move as Kelce launched his protective headwear at the team’s water cooler. That didn’t seem to get all the anger out, however, as a staff member was denied by Kelce when trying to return the helmet to the disgruntIed superstar.

After the game, a quick discussion that appeared to be a bit heated sparked up between Kelce and Head Coach Andy Reid in which the two bumped each other.

That can be seen in the video beIow, which was posted to X by NFL on CBS.

Andy Reid, for his part, seems over the altercation and ready to move on to next week’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals on New Year’s Eve. He told reporters after the game, Yeah, listen, I mean, he went back in and did a nice job. So, things happen, emotional game. Trav’s emotional and sometimes my red hair gets to me a little bit, but it all works out.

Kelce has yet to comment on the matter, and with Reid being over it so quickly it wouldn’t be surprising if we never got a peep out of the star tight end about this.

Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes answered question after the game about the state of the team and the plan for the season going forward as the group Iooks to secure a playoff spot.

Mahomes said, They played better than us today, and they were the team that deserved to win. All you can do is move on to the next day, and the next game…I still believe that we can go do what we want to do, it’s just a matter of correcting our mistakes as quickly as possible.

“You Won’t Believe How This Actor Scared Women Off-Screen!

Vincent D’Onofrio is best known for his memorable role as the clumsy Marine recruit in Stanley Kubrick’s movie Full Metal Jacket. However, his popularity decreased after that.

The ruggedly handsome actor, who turned 64 on June 30, 2023, had to change his appearance drastically for the role. This change made women, who once loved his curly dark hair and athletic build, less interested in him.

D’Onofrio has a long and varied career. He always gives his best to every role, transforming completely into his characters, making people forget who he really is.

Born in Brooklyn, D’Onofrio started in stage productions, both off-Broadway and on. He had many side jobs to support his acting dreams, including working as a bodyguard for Yul Brynner and Robert Plant.

In his early days, he worked as a nightclub bouncer, delivered flowers, hung drapes, and drove a cab to make ends meet.

After acting in a few low-budget films, his friend Matthew Modine suggested he send an audition tape to Stanley Kubrick, who was casting for his next big movie.

The 6-foot-3 D’Onofrio, who was very fit at the time, won the role of Leonard, a fat, dim-witted character, but had to meet some tough conditions.

Working with Kubrick was a life-changing experience for D’Onofrio, allowing him to fully dive into his character and push his acting limits in a challenging environment.

At 24, D’Onofrio had to shave his head and gain 70 to 80 pounds for the role, the most weight any actor has gained for a role.

Kubrick initially asked if he was okay with gaining weight, and after D’Onofrio gained 30 pounds, Kubrick felt he still looked too strong. So, D’Onofrio ended up gaining about 80 pounds, going from 200 to 280 pounds.

Gaining weight for the role was tough for D’Onofrio, especially when he had to perform the intense boot-camp scenes in the movie. Normally, obstacle courses would have been easy for him with his athletic build, but they were very challenging at 280 pounds.

D’Onofrio’s incredible performance as the chubby, dim-witted, and mentally disturbed Leonard earned him a lot of praise from critics. However, some fans started confusing him with his character.

“People treat you differently when you’re that size,” D’Onofrio said. “My head was shaved, so I looked completely different from my usual long, lanky self. I turned into this big, burly guy with a bald head. It was a very strange life change.”

He added, “It changed my life. Women didn’t look at me anymore; I mostly saw their backs as they ran away. People even talked to me slowly, thinking I was stupid.”

A year after filming Full Metal Jacket, Vincent D’Onofrio had a full head of hair again and his body returned to its original size.

Today, the New York-born director, producer, screenwriter, and actor, who wrote the 2023 book “Pigs Can’t Look Up,” credits his long career to Stanley Kubrick.

“Stanley made my career, there’s no question about that. I’ve done over 50 films because of him and that part,” D’Onofrio said. He has had many roles in both film and TV, including Law & Order: Criminal Intent (2001-2011) and Marvel’s Daredevil (2015-2018). His movies include Dying Young, The Break-Up, and Jurassic World.

D’Onofrio’s life was greatly impacted by his parents’ divorce when he was a child. His mother remarried George Meyer, a well-known American producer and writer, and the family moved to Hialeah, Florida. As a child, D’Onofrio was quiet and often spent time alone in his room, deep in thought.

While living in Florida, he became interested in magic and learned sleight of hand from Cuban performers who ran a small magic store.

In the early 1990s, Vincent D’Onofrio was romantically involved with actress Greta Scacchi. They appeared together in several films, including The Player and Fires Within. They have a daughter named Leila George, born around 1991 or 1992, who has also become an actress.

In 1997, Vincent D’Onofrio married Carin van der Donk, a Dutch model. They had their first son in 1999. However, their relationship had problems in the early 2000s, leading to a separation. They later got back together and had a second son in 2008.

In June 2023, D’Onofrio filed for divorce in Manhattan Supreme Court, ending his 26-year marriage with Carin van der Donk.

D’Onofrio appeared with Sandra Bullock in the 2021 film The Unforgivable and will be in the upcoming comedy Dumb Money.

Vincent D’Onofrio was fantastic in Full Metal Jacket and his mental decline as Leonard is incredibly believable!

He looks totally different now, as to be expected many decades later, but we still enjoy his performances!

What do you think about his portrayal of the dumb, fat Leonard?
