Jason Kelce Calls Himself An 'Overweight White Guy' In Philly Lookalike Contest

Retired NFL star Jason Kelce made fun of his own appearance during Philly's Lookalike Contest.

During an appearance on ESPN's "Monday Night Countdown," the Ohio native gave his thoughts on the competition.

On December 16, the former Philadelphia Eagles Center watched a clip from the Jason Kelce lookalike competition, but didn’t seem too impressed with what he saw!

The competition took place at Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Square Park on Saturday, December 14. Two days later, on ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown,” the 37-year-old gave his thoughts on the competition.

“Newsflash! Any overweight white guy with a beard looks just like me,” he joked in comments transcribed by Peoplemagazine.

After watching the clip, Jason felt that it wasn’t much of a challenge to replicate his signature look.

“It’s an easy competition. There is absolutely nothing unique about any of these gentlemen other than they are large people with beards,” he added.

However, he told host Scott Van Pelt that there was one man who caught his attention. The contestant was wearing a Fairisle zip-up and sported Jason’s signature beard. “That guy is spot on,” Jason said, adding, “That’s my new profile picture.”

For fans wondering just what that man looked like, Jason was true to his word and indeed made that man’s photo his new profile picture on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

Unfortunately, the man that he had selected did not actually win the contest. Instead, Jason wanted “the sweater guy” to win the prize.

After the clip, Jason said that it was “disheartening” to see that “thousands” of people look just like him, but it seems that they might have gotten a little help from his wife, Kylie Kelce, who had offered contestants advice on how to look like Jason on the second episode of her new podcast, “Not Gonna Lie.”

In the episode, which premiered on Thursday, December 12, she advised contestants to wear “a heavy sweater” with “some kind of design.” If they didn’t have such a sweater, she also assured them that a velour tracksuit with an Italian flag would also score major points.

On November 2, an unidentified individual approached Jason Kelce at a Penn State vs. Ohio State football game in Pennsylvania and made a homophobic comment about his brother, Travis Kelce, who is currently dating pop star Taylor Swift.

The man asked, “Hey, Kelce. How does it feel your brother’s a f—ggot dating Taylor Swift?” Jason Kelce can be seen smashing the heckler’s ground on the phone before asking, “Who’s the f-ggot now?”

On December 10, a spokeswoman for Penn State University Police told TMZ Sports that Jason will not face any disciplinary action for the destruction of property, as no one has come forward to claim that they were the person in the video.

“The individual in the video footage circulating on social media has not been identified, and no one has come forward to University Police with a related complaint about damage to personal property,” they said in a statement.

Two days after the event occurred, the 37-year-old father addressed the incident on ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown.”

“I’m not happy with anything that took place. I’m not proud of it,” he said on November 4’s episode. “Within a heated moment, I chose to greet hate with hate and I don’t think that’s a productive thing. I don’t think it leads to discourse.”

“In that moment I fell down to a level that I shouldn’t have. The bottom line is, I try to live my life by the golden rules,” he continued. “That’s what I’ve always been taught. I try to treat people with decency and respect. I’m going to keep doing that moving forward.”

Jason Kelce also addressed the incident with his brother, Travis Kelce, on the November 6 episode of their “New Heights” podcast.
