Travis Kelce Is Gearing Up for Another Major Cameo—and I'm Not Talking About the Eras Tour This Time

Adam Sandler is about to make Travis Kelce’s dream a reality.

Back in May, Kelce, 34, casually mentioned he’d “do anything” to score a part in the highly anticipated Happy Gilmore sequel. Well, guess what? Sandler just confirmed he’s got a role lined up for the Kansas City Chiefs star.

During his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday, August 20, Sandler, 57, spilled the beans.

“Travis has … he mentioned it, so we have a nice something for Travis,” Sandler teased, adding that he’s totally smitten with the NFL pro. “He’s a very nice guy. You guys would love him in real life. What a big, handsome guy. Funny and cool as hell. He’s a stud and he’s so funny.”

Kelce first expressed his love for all things Sandler on the May 29 episode of his podcast, New Heights, which he co-hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce. On the show, the three-time Super Bowl champ made it clear he’s ready to dive into the movie world. He even joked that he’s a “huge fan of the Sandman” and would jump at the chance to be in a Sandler flick.

“I’ll be a f–king extra… anything to get around Happy Gilmore, an Adam Sandler film or set — count me in,” he said. “I’ll do anything in the movie. I’ll be part of it any way I possibly can.”

And it looks like Hollywood’s taking note of Kelce’s on-screen potential. He’s already landed a leading role in Ryan Murphy’s upcoming horror series Grotesquerie, alongside big names like Niecy Nash-Betts, Courtney B. Vance, and Leslie Manville.
