Jason Kelce stayed calm, cool and collected when confronted by an angry fan Thursday night.
The former Philadelphia Eagles center walked past autograph seekers as he left Los Angeles’ El Capitan Theater after filming a “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” interview.
His departure incensed one of the fans who screamed that Kelce, 37, was “nobody special” before hurling obscenities at him in a video obtained by TMZ.
“You’re some s–t bag, f–king guy that thinks he’s on some pedestal!” the troll screamed. “Don’t be a d–k.
“I’ll be running the Marvel Cinematic Universe,” he continued. “Watch for me, you p—-y! F–k you.”
Kelce’s attempt to explain himself — “I have a habit of not signing for people that follow where I’m going” — was met with more yelling.
The ESPN analyst, however, managed to deescalate the situation by signing autographs and clarifying he was not “trying to be mean,” with the fan eventually apologizing.
“You’re good, bro,” Kelce said as he shook the heckler’s hand.
The interaction comes three weeks after the retired athlete went viral for slamming a college student’s phone to the ground.
Kelce got angry earlier this month after the guy labeled his brother, Travis Kelce, “a f—-t for dating Taylor Swift.”
The “They Call It Late Night” host, who returned the insult, later expressed regret over stooping to the Pennsylvania State University student’s level.
“In a heated moment, I chose to greet hate with hate, and I just don’t think that that’s a productive thing,” he told ESPN viewers as Travis’ team, the Kansas City Chiefs, played the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“I’m not happy with anything that took place. I’m not proud of it,” Jason added.
He echoed this sentiment in the Nov. 6 “New Heights” episode.
“You reacted in a way that was defending your family,” Travis, 35, told podcast listeners, to which Jason admitted the exchange would have been a “nothingburger” if he had chosen to “walk away.”
Travis, 35, chimed in to call the fan a “f–king clown.”
Notably, Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, similarly made headlines in May when she got into a screaming match with an angry woman with whom she declined to take a photo.
“I can smell the alcohol on your breath,” Kylie, 32, yelled back at the fan. “You’re embarrassing yourself.”
