Big news for football fans as their very own Travis Kelce is reportedly going to make his debut in the world of cinema. Hollywood star Adam Sandler recently spilt beans on how the NFL tight end will be starring in the most-awaited sequel of Happy Gilmore.

During his recent appearance on The Tonight Show, the comedian confirmed the ongoing speculation about Kelce’s cameo in Hollywood.

Talking about Kelce, Sandler also praised his physique and funny nature, saying, “What a big, handsome guy. Funny and cool as hell.” The nine-time Pro Bowler has always been a star in the NFL, but since he started dating the global star Taylor Swift, his horizons of talent and fame as expanded exponentially.

Travis Kelce downplays speculations about his potential cameo

Sandler’s confirmation on Kelce’s appearance in his upcoming sequel came just a few months after the tight end addressed the conspiracy theories around his potential career in Hollywood. In a May episode of his famous podcast, New Heights, Kelce asserted that he wasn’t aware of any job openings for the Happy Gilmore 2, as if he knew, he was even ready to be an extra for the iconic comedy.

Anything to get around Happy Gilmore, an Adam Sandler film, or set — count me in. Who knows? Theories can come true. Theories can be true and just people don’t know about it. So I might even be in the talking [phase] and nobody knows about it, but I could also not be in the talking.

Travis Kelce had stated

While talking to his brother Jason Kelce, Travis discussed the potential roles he can play in the movie and revealed that he is ready to take up any role he can get because all he wants is just to be part of that iconic production.
