Taylor Swift’s Beau Travis Kelce Lands His Biggest Movie Role Till Date in Sequel of Adam Sandler’s $41 Million Comedy After ‘Loose Cannons’ Casting

Travis Kelce is the latest athlete to blur the line between sports and entertainment in Hollywood. It can be said that Taylor Swift’s boyfriend is all set to hit the big screen strong with two major films in the offering.

Of them, one is a long-awaited comedy sequel, and another is a buddy cop movie. It seems that after Tom Brady and Serena Williams, Kelce is also ready to utilize his new stardom in the entertainment business.

Adam Sandler Confirms Travis Kelce’s Cameo in Happy Gilmore 2

In 1996, Adam Sandler produced and acted in Happy Gilmore, and now, almost 30 years later, he is coming with its sequel. The first movie was successful in gaining an audience and grossed over $41 million in box office collection (according to Box Office Mojo).

Netflix first announced the film in May this year, and Sandler recently appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he talked about the movie and revealed that there will be a guest appearance by Travis Kelce.

Travis has… he 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. What a big, handsome guy. Funny and cool as hell. He’s a stud and he’s so funny.

This is quite big news for Kelce fans, although the hardcore fans might have already anticipated this to happen as Kelce himself was desperate to appear in Happy Gilmore 2. Earlier in his New Heights podcast, he said,

I didn’t even know there was a job opening on Happy Gilmore 2. I’ll be a f–king extra… anything to get around Happy Gilmore, an Adam Sandler film or set — count me in.

So far, the details of the movie are not available much. Sandler has also not mentioned further about Kelce’s potential role in it. However, fans might expect to see some familiar faces from the original movie.

Travis Kelce’s Lead Role in Loose Cannons

Kelce has signed with Lionsgate for their upcoming buddy cop movie Loose Canons, which will potentially be the big break for him in the movie industry as he will play one of the leads. The story of the movie will also be different than most of the action-drama buddy-cop movies.

A typical buddy-cop movie usually has a wild and a strict cop. But Loose Cannons will break that stereotype, as both cops will be equally wild in this case. Kelce will be one of them, and he will be forced to team up with an equally crazy partner.

The script is written by Tim Dowling, while Chad Stahelski will be directing it. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter the film will take some inspiration from other popular buddy-cop movies like Lethal Weapon, Bad Boys and Rush Hour.

Fans can feel that Kelce is looking to dominate the industry from the time he made his first appearance in Moonbase 8 in 2020 and joined SNL in March 2023.

Now, apart from the mentioned movies, he will also appear in Ryan Murphy’s upcoming horror series Grotesquerie and will also be the host of Prime Video’s Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?
