Adam Sandler Teases “Stud” Travis Kelce’s Cameo In ‘Happy Gilmore’ Sequel: “Funny And Cool As Hell”

By now it’s no secret that Happy Gilmore 2 is in the works, but that doesn’t mean Adam Sandler has given everything away.

The actor and comedian revealed that Travis Kelce will make an appearance in the movie on Tuesday night’s episode of The Tonight Show after host Jimmy Fallon asked the star about potential cameos in the upcoming film.

“We have a nice something for Travis,” Sandler said, referring to the Super Bowl-winning tight end. “He’s gonna come by.”

“He’s a very nice guy,” Sandler continued. “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.”

The role is likely not one that Sandler had to talk the football star into. Back in May, Travis revealed on the New Heights podcast he hosts alongside brother Jason Kelce that he was a huge fan of Sandler.

“Man, I didn’t even know there was a job opening for Happy Gilmore 2 ,” Travis said on the pod. After a bit of back and forth banter with his brother, Travis admitted, “I’ll do anything in the movie. I’ll be part of it any way I possibly can.”
