Travis Kelce secret role in 'Happy Gilmore 2' revealed by Adam Sandler himself

Travis Kelce is no stranger to the spotlight, but his latest venture has fans buzzing in a whole new way.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end is taking his talents from the gridiron to the big screen, and it’s not just any role-he’s snagged a cameo in the highly anticipated”Happy Gilmore 2.”Yep, you heard that right. Adam Sandler himself dropped the bombshell, and now, wherever Kelce goes, the question on everyone’s lips is all about his acting chops.

The hype hit a fever pitch when Kelce and his brother, Jason, got Sandler on their “New Heights” podcast. The brothers couldn’t stop laughing as they dished on the upcoming flick. Travis even boasted about his golf game, claiming he can drive the ball 320 yards-just not necessarily in the right direction. But the real kicker? His spot-on imitation of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, which had Sandler cracking up like never before.

Kelce’s knack for mimicking Mahomes isn’t new. He first showed off his impersonation skills during his “Saturday Night Live” hosting gig back in March 2023, where he had the audience rolling with laughter. He pulled out the Mahomes impression again ahead of the 8th edition of “The Match,” a charity golf event that pits NBA stars against NFL players. Kelce’s ability to nail Mahomes’ unique voice has become a fan favorite, especially when he did it right in front of Mahomes during a press conference.

Fast forward to the preseason, and Kelce was back at it. After a game against the Detroit Lions, he broke out the Mahomes voice again during a post-game interview, joking that he couldn’t understand what Mahomes was saying to him on the field. “You know he’s got the voice thing,” Kelce quipped, sparking yet another round of viral TikTok videos featuring his hilarious impersonations.

Is Kelce the “real life” Happy Gilmore? The real story behind his cameo

But beyond the laughs, Kelce’s chat with Sandler revealed something deeper. The plot of “Happy Gilmore 2” hits close to home for the tight end. Much like the fictional Happy Gilmore, who turned to golf after failing at hockey, Kelce had his own brush with ice hockey before football became his calling. And while Kelce’s journey didn’t involve failure, his father, Ed Kelce, has said that Travis had the potential to go pro in hockey if he’d stuck with it.

During the podcast, Kelce even credited Sandler for inspiring a generation to hit the golf course, a nod to how movies can shape real-life passions. The conversation took a humorous turn when Jason Kelce asked Sandler if he was planning to move to New Jersey, to which Sandler joked that the whole point was to hang out with Travis. He then teased a plot twist that originally had Kelce playing Sandler’s first kid in the movie-a role that would’ve been legendary.

As for the real deal, Kelce’s cameo in “Happy Gilmore 2” remains under wraps, but if the past is any indication, it’s sure to be as unforgettable as his touchdown celebrations. Whether he’s on the field or the big screen, Travis Kelce knows how to keep us entertained.

Donna Kelce Says Son Travis ‘Can’t Clean’ and ‘Can’t Cook’ But Hints He Might Be ‘Getting Some Help’ from Taylor Swift

Donna Kelce is playfully sharing some of her son Travis Kelce’s flaws.

In an interview with Extra TV, the Kelce matriarch, 71, got candid about the things the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, can’t do despite his success at football and his recent hosting and acting gigs.

“He can’t clean. He can’t cook,” she listed off jokingly, before adding that he was “getting a little better.”

“I think he’s getting some help,” Donna noted, hinting that he might be picking up some tips from girlfriend Taylor Swift, 34.

The 14-time Grammy winner previously shared a video on YouTube Shorts of him kissing her in the kitchen while she stirred a pot, alongside other snapshots of her life. In the brief clip, several food ingredients could be seen on the counter behind them.

When asked about his appearance in the video and the kinds of foods he liked to cook with Swift during a Chiefs press conference in June, the NFL player admitted he liked spending time in the kitchen with his girlfriend, though he declined to comment on the kinds of dishes they made together.

“I respect that question but I’m going to keep that one to myself because I thoroughly enjoy cooking with her so it’s something I’d rather just keep personal,” he responded.

He later added in the press conference that the “Fortnight” singer “makes a great pop-tart and cinnamon roll.” She even baked for Travis’ teammates after the pair went public with their romance in September 2023.

“Kind of behind-the-scenes, she, to fit in — she didn’t even know she was doing this, I don’t think — she likes to cook, so she made the offensive linemen these homemade pop-tarts,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid revealed during an interview at the NFL Scouting Combine in February.

She has made appearances at the Chiefs season-opener at the beginning of this month and at the Sept. 15 Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium, where she wore an oversized Chiefs T-shirt paired with a pair of thigh high boots.

Swift is on a break from her tour following the conclusion of the European leg of her Eras Tour in mid-August, after playing a second set of shows at Wembley Stadium in London. Her tour is scheduled to pick back up mid-October in Miami.

Kelce previously supported the singer on tour, making an appearance at several of her European Eras Tour concerts. He even made a surprise cameo onstage during her June 23 show at London’s Wembley Stadium.
