Josh Charles had the honor of being part of Taylor Swift“Fortnight”, but he couldn’t help but argue with his fiancé, Travis Kelceon the board.
THE Good wife elder, 54 years old, and his Society of Dead Poets costar Ethan Hawke appeared in Swift’s 2024 music video like mad scientists experimenting on the singer. The video won the coveted Video of the Year award at the MTV Video Music Awards 2024a distinction which Charles reveled in during his appearance on Monday January 5 on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
“I had a Moon Man. It was pretty cool”, Charles said host Jimmy Fallon. “When I grew up, the Video Music Awards were the best.”
He added: “The idea that came up shows what an incredibly generous and awesome person Taylor Swift is.”
Fallon then asked Charles about speculation that he “fought with Travis Kelce on set,” as Hawke, 55, previously discussed in a September 2025 interview.
Charles clarified: “A fight? No, he exaggerated. It wasn’t a fight.”
THE The Handmaid’s Tale The actor went on to explain that he called out the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 36, about the Chiefs’ victory over his hometown team, the Baltimore Ravens, in 2023.
“I always liked Travis Kelce. I just thought he was so cool,” Charles said. “But that year they beat us in the AFC Championship Game – they beat the Ravens – he was a real jerk that year. So I kind of fell off him.”
Fast forward to the filming of the “Fortnight” music video, Charles said: “When I met him, I said, ‘You know, I’ve always loved you and this year you were kind of an ad***.’ »

A shocked Fallon, 51, said: “You said that to Travis Kelce? He’s one of the sweetest people I know!”
Charles replied: “I did. I said, ‘What was going on?’ And he laughed. He said to me: ‘You know what, you’re right. I’ll tell you why.’
According to Charles, Kelce told him that the Chiefs were “very worried about this game” at the time.
“He said, ‘I knew I had to come with a little swagger,’ and he did,” Charles said. “He made one of our veterans commit a personal foul. He got in our heads, and it worked for them, and they won the game.”
Charles added: “He was really great. We talked about all types of football. He was such a good guy. I really liked him.”
Fallon agreed that Kelce is “the funniest human being” and said he can’t watch the NFL star’s games because “I can’t pick on him.”
Charles responded that while he likes Kelce “a lot,” when it comes to football, “I’m going to go after him.”
Swift, 36, released “Fortnight” as the first single from her chart-topping album The Department of Tortured Poets in April 2024.
At the time, Charles gushed to have the chance to collaborate with the singer.
“I’ve admired Taylor for a long time, but meeting her in person took my fandom to a whole new level,” he captioned a screenshot of the clip posted on Instagram. “Genuine, kind, approachable and just an all-around stellar human being – not to mention an awesome director to boot!” »
