Adam Sandler Raves About Travis Kelce’s Role in Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix

Hollywood and the gridiron collide in a surprising way as Adam Sandler showers praise on Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce for his role in the upcoming Netflix sequel, Happy Gilmore 2. Set to debut later this week, the film features a roster of athletes, and Kelce seems to have stolen the show with his on-screen charisma.

Joining a lineup that includes Reggie Bush, Boban Marjanović, and a cadre of golf pros like Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau, Kelce steps into unfamiliar territory. But according to Sandler, who spoke on the New Heights podcast alongside the Kelce brothers, Travis tackled the role with the same gusto he brings to football. Sandler couldn’t help but compare Travis to his brother Jason, noting their shared knack for diving into new challenges with a determination to excel. He described Travis as 'cool as ever' and perfectly cast as a bit of a villain in the film.

Kelce himself shared some behind-the-scenes laughs, crediting Sandler for guiding him through the role. He also couldn’t resist praising co-star Bad Bunny, calling him 'naturally hilarious' and predicting audiences will be in stitches over his performance. It’s clear that Kelce relished the chance to play a heel opposite Bad Bunny’s character, bringing a fresh dynamic to the comedic golf saga.

Beyond the field, Kelce continues to carve out a space in entertainment, having already hosted Saturday Night Live and Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?. His leap into acting with Happy Gilmore 2 might just be the start of a new chapter for this multi-talented athlete.
