“Who me?” Kelce, 34, responded with a smile as crew members powdered his face.

“Are you ready?” Nash, 54, captioned the clip, tagging the athlete’s Instagram account.

Kelce wore a black long-sleeve sweater, black pants and brown boots as he prepared to film in Los Angeles. He accessorized with a gold locket necklace.
