“Travis Kelce’s Secret Role in Blockbuster Movie Sequel Revealed—You Won’t Believe What He’s Playing!”

Speaking with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, actor and comedian Adam Sandler revealed that Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will have a role in the upcoming Happy Gilmore 2 film, which is set to start filming in September.

“Travis has… he mentioned it, so we have a nice something for Travis,” Sandler said on August 20. “He’s gonna come by. 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 has already earned roles in Ryan Murphy’s FX series Grotesquerie and the Lionsgate action-comedy film Loose Cannons. He is also the host of a new game show on Amazon called Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? which is a spinoff of the popular Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? show, and it premieres on October 16.

What Kelce “mentioned” — as Sandler said while on The Tonight Show — is that he wants to be in the highly anticipated movie sequel. The 34-year-old TE made known his desire for a role in Happy Gilmore 2 during an episode of his “New Heights” podcast with his brother, Jason Kelce, in May.

“I’ll do anything in the movie,” Kelce said. “I’ll be a part of it any way I possibly can.”

It looks like Kelce’s wish has come true.
