In a recent exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Andy Reid shared a light-hearted joke about his new Super Bowl ad for Pringles and Travis Kelce’s reaction to it. The 66-year-old Chiefs head coach appears in the Pringles commercial alongside Adam Brody, Nick Offerman, and James Harden. Reid, a long-time fan of Pringles, is celebrating his potential third consecutive Super Bowl win in the ad. To mark the occasion, Pringles erected 78 billboards in Kansas City featuring a mustache-less Reid, a departure from his iconic look.

Reid teased that he anticipates Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, his star tight end and quarterback, respectively, to advise him to “stick with the ‘stache” upon seeing the billboards. Kelce, in particular, has shown admiration for Reid’s mustache, even growing his own out during training camp in tribute to the coach. While Reid’s mustache is digitally removed in the commercial, he assured fans that it remained intact in real life, thanks to some clever movie magic.
As the Chiefs gear up for Sunday’s Super Bowl showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles, Reid emphasised the team’s unwavering focus on the game. Looking ahead, he expressed his eagerness to unwind post-season and lauded Kelce and Mahomes for their leadership within the team. Both players serve as role models for younger teammates, guiding them through pressure-filled moments and keeping everyone concentrated on the task at hand.
Reflecting on Kelce’s vibrant personality, Reid praised the tight end’s infectious energy and his ability to inject fun into celebratory moments. Despite Kelce’s playful antics, Reid commended his dedication on the field, reserving a special mention for Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, who shared a light-hearted moment with him after the AFC Championship win. With infectious enthusiasm, Reid acknowledged Kelce’s penchant for keeping the team spirit lively and jovial.
As the excitement builds towards the 2025 Super Bowl, set to kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, the Chiefs are brimming with determination to secure victory and potentially achieve an unprecedented NFL three-peat. Reid’s witty banter with Kelce about his mustache underscores the close-knit camaraderie within the Chiefs’ ranks, adding a touch of levity to their quest for sporting glory. Stay tuned for more updates as the Chiefs gear up for the pinnacle of American football and a shot at etching their names into the history books.
