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 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 ions. 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.
