Travis Kelce may have big plans beyond his football career, including starring in television shows and movies.

Recently, he commented on swirling rumors and fan theories that he’ll have a role in Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix.

The Adam Sandler sequel film was confirmed last month, with much excitement surrounding the project, including potential guest stars in the cast.

Travis’s romance with Taylor Swift became highly publicized, not only because of headlines but also because she attended multiple games throughout the season, including the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win over the San Francisco 49ers.

Travis recently discussed the possibility of his appearance in the movie during his and his brother Jason’s New Heights podcast.

The prediction likely arrived due to Travis’s enjoyment of golf and a photo of him wearing a Happy Gilmore baseball cap.

Travis referred to it as “more of a conspiracy theory” before sharing his response.

“I didn’t even know there was a job opening for Happy Gilmore 2. But if there is, I’ll be a f***ing extra. You know, anything to just get around Happy Gilmore or [an] Adam Sandler film or set — count me in,” Travis said on the New Heights podcast.

Travis mentioned he’s always been a fan of the “Sandman,” referring to actor, comedian, and director Adam Sandler. The former SNL star revealed he was working on Happy Gilmore 2, and Netflix confirmed the movie will happen.

Based on how much of a classic the original became, Sandler’s sequel might have multiple celebrity cameos from across the sports world.

The beloved film Happy Gilmore arrived in 1996. It focused on an aspiring golfer’s trials and tribulations and the unique characters he knew or encountered on his journey.

Several of the movie’s guest stars, actor Carl Weathers and former The Price Is Right host Bob Barker, have since passed. However, Sandler mentioned the possibility of bringing in current host Drew Carey and doing something as a tribute to Carl in the sequel.

While Travis’s involvement remains to be seen, he is a golf fan and participates in various tournaments.

Last year, he and his Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes participated in The Match VIII, a celebrity golf event in which the NFL stars took on NBA stars Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson from the Golden State Warriors.
