Adam Sandler has officially announced that Travis Kelce will join the cast of the upcoming sequel to 'Happy Gilmore,' which he revealed on The Tonight Show.

Sandler praised Kelce as a 'big, handsome guy' who is 'funny and cool,' highlighting his appealing personality.

The sequel will feature cameos from Kelce and various professional golfers, adding a unique twist to the film.

Kelce's involvement in the film marks his feature-film debut, coinciding with his rising profile in Hollywood.

Sandler had delayed the sequel for years due to concerns about meeting fan expectations but is now excited about the story they have developed.

He emphasized that he and co-writer Tim Herlihy worked hard on the script to ensure it would resonate with fans.

Production of the film is expected to be delayed as Kelce prepares for the upcoming NFL season, which begins shortly.

As Kelce gears up for his 12th NFL season with the Kansas City Chiefs, he is also actively pursuing acting roles.

The plot of 'Loose Cannons,' another project Kelce is involved in, revolves around two cops who become partners after their precincts merge.

These developments indicate Kelce's readiness to expand his career beyond football, showcasing his versatility.

His recent romantic relationship with Taylor Swift has significantly boosted his celebrity status, further enhancing his appeal in the entertainment industry.

Kelce previously expressed his enthusiasm for the project during a podcast episode, confirming his interest in the film.
