Back in May, on Travis and brother Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast following news of Happy Gilmore 2, Travis said he was a “huge fan of the Sandman” and would do “anything” to get involved in the sequel. “I didn’t even know there was a job opening on Happy Gilmore 2 . I’ll be a fucking extra… anything to get around Happy Gilmore , an Adam Sandler film or set — count me in,” Kelce said.

On Tuesday’s Tonight Show , Sandler talked about the sequel to his 1996 classic golf comedy and announced that Kelce would appear in an unspecified role. “Travis has… he mentioned it, so we have a nice something for Travis,” Sandler said, adding that production will begin in a couple of weeks.

“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.”

It’s unclear whether Kelce will just be “a fucking extra” or have a larger role, perhaps playing himself in a celebrity golf scene like Bob Barker’s legendary appearance in the original movie .

Kelce will make his first substantial acting debut in the upcoming Ryan Murphy horror series Grotesquerie , as well as star in the big-screen cop comedy Loose Cannons . The tight end has also been enlisted to host Amazon’s reboot of Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?
