Adam Sandler: Travis Kelce set to join cast of ‘Happy Gilmore 2’

Travis Kelce is everywhere lately, and he’s got another new job: Adam Sandler’s ‘Happy Gilmore’ co-star.

The ‘Billy Madison’ actor announced the Kansas City Chiefs tight end would join the cast of his upcoming movie sequel in a cameo role, during a Tuesday night appearance on ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,’ telling the late-night host ‘Travis mentioned it, so we have a nice something for Travis.’

‘He’s gonna come by. He’s a very nice guy. You guys would love him in real life,’ he told his fellow ‘SNL’ alum. ‘What a big, handsome guy. Funny and cool as hell. He’s a stud, and he’s so funny.’

Sandler confirmed that he’s tried taking a swing at making the sequel for a long time, but his creative team hasn’t been on par to make the film a success until now.

‘People have been asking me for a long time, ‘Do ‘Happy Gilmore 2,’ and I was always like, ‘Nah, I’ll only let you down,” he continued. ‘But then me and my buddy, Tim Herlihy, we came up with this idea. We’re really excited about it,’ Sandler told Fallon, adding that ‘we’re continuing to try to make it a movie that you guys will like.’

Netflix first announced in May that Sandler would reprise his role as Happy Gilmore, a hot-tempered hockey player-turned-golfer, from the eponymous 1996 film. The film is a favorite among Sandler’s fans and found a cult following in the golf community. It also features an iconic cameo from longtime ‘The Price Is Right’ host Bob Barker.

Kelce first teased his interest in the movie in May: ‘I’ll do anything in the movie,’ he said on his ‘New Heights’ podcast in May. ‘I’ll be a part of it any way I possibly can.’

Adam Sandler confirms ‘Happy Gilmore’ sequel in the works

In April, Sandler confirmed that a ‘Happy Gilmore’ sequel was in the works. Christopher McDonald revealed in March that Sandler, who starred in the original sports comedy as the titular character, is involved in the project.

McDonald played Happy’s nemesis Shooter McGavin in the 1996 film. He revealed the project during an interview on 92.3 The Fan in Cleveland. During an appearance on the ‘Dan Patrick Show’ in April, Sandler confirmed he told McDonald that ‘we’re working on some stuff’ for ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ but asked him not to tell anybody.

‘He texted me after the fact, ‘By the way, that thing you told me not to talk about, I talked about,” Sandler joked.
