Travis Kelce, a well-known NFL tight end, has just landed yet another exciting opportunity - a role in the upcoming sequel to the hit movie Happy Gilmore. This is a dream come true for Travis, who has been making a name for himself not only in the football world but also in the entertainment industry. His worldwide acclaim has skyrocketed ever since he started dating superstar Taylor Swift last year, and it seems like his star is only continuing to rise in the most unexpected ways.
At 34 years old, Travis is now making a pivot to Hollywood with a confirmed cameo in the highly-anticipated Happy Gilmore 2. The original movie, starring Adam Sandler as the hot-tempered aspiring golf player, was released almost 30 years ago in 1996. After much anticipation, cameras are finally rolling on the sequel, with Adam reprising his iconic role. During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Adam shared some updates on the project, revealing that filming will begin in New Jersey very soon.
"We start in a couple weeks. It's good. We [him and co-writer Tim Herlihy] worked hard on the script. We didn't want to let anybody down," Adam shared excitedly. He also mentioned that many of the original golfers from the first movie will be making appearances in the sequel, and he even had a special spot prepared for Travis on set. This news comes following Travis' appearance on Adam's podcast, New Heights, where he expressed his desire to be a part of the sequel.
"I'll do anything in the movie. I'll be part of it any way I possibly can," Travis had said during the podcast. It seems like his wish has been granted, as Adam confirmed that Travis will indeed be joining the cast of Happy Gilmore 2. "Travis has...he mentioned it, so we have a nice something for Travis," Adam shared with Jimmy Fallon, hinting at the footballer's involvement in the movie.
For those who may not know, Travis Kelce has been in the spotlight not only for his athletic abilities but also for his relationship with Taylor Swift. The couple has been making headlines since they started dating last year, and it seems like their love has been a source of inspiration for Travis' career moves. In addition to his role in Happy Gilmore 2, Travis has also landed a part in Ryan Murphy's new FX series, Grotesquerie, alongside stars such as Niecy Nash-Betts and Courtney B. Vance. He is also in talks to lead Lionsgate's new action-comedy, Loose Cannons.
This is not the first time Travis has ventured into the acting world - he previously played a fictionalized version of himself in an episode of the comedy series Moonbase 8. He has also served as an executive producer for the 2024 comedy film, My Dead Friend Zoe. Discussing his role in Ryan's new series, Travis admitted to feeling like an amateur, but he hasn't been fired yet, so he must be doing something right. He also shared that Ryan had a lot of faith in his acting abilities, which gave him the confidence to take on the role.
"He seemed very confident that I'd be able to do this, and he kinda injected that in me the first conversation that we had. So hopefully I don't bomb this for him," Travis joked. It's clear that Travis is excited about his upcoming projects and is determined to make the most of these opportunities. Who knows, maybe we'll be seeing more of him on the big screen in the future.
