Travis Kelce’s Acting in Happy Gilmore 2 Wows Co-Star Christopher McDonald

Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs' star tight end, is trading his football cleats for a spot on the silver screen in Happy Gilmore 2. Known for his three Super Bowl rings, Kelce is now earning praise for his acting chops from co-star Christopher McDonald, who reprises his role as the villainous Shooter McGavin. McDonald, an Emmy nominee, recently shared that Kelce’s performance was “surprisingly good,” highlighting his natural charisma and humor. “He’s way too handsome, but a solid actor,” McDonald quipped, also noting Kelce’s impressive skills on the golf course, though they didn’t get to tee off together during filming.

Kelce, no stranger to the spotlight, called the role “a dream come true” on The Pat McAfee Show, joking that working with Adam Sandler’s Happy Productions was “off the chain.” The sequel to the 1996 cult classic sports comedy hits Netflix on July 25, promising fans a mix of nostalgia and Kelce’s undeniable charm.
