00:00Oh-ho-ho! Oh-ho-ho!"
00:03Travis Kelce is a busy man. He's a three-time Super Bowl champion and one of the best NFL
00:08tight ends of all time. He's dating Taylor Swift, one of the most famous people on the planet.
00:12What else could he possibly want? A cameo in Happy Gilmore 2, for starters.
00:16And it looks like that's happening.
00:18"'Count me in."
00:19When news broke recently that Adam Sandler was working on a sequel to his beloved 90s
00:22sports comedy, Kelce immediately threw his football helmet into the ring, hoping to score a role.
00:27Back in May, on his podcast New Heights, which he hosts with his older brother Jason,
00:31the younger Kelce said he would do just about anything to appear in Happy Gilmore 2.
00:35I didn't even know there was a job opening for Happy Gilmore 2, but
00:41if there is, I'll be a f----- extra.
00:44Apparently, the Sandman was listening, and turns out, he's a Kelce fan.
00:48What a big, handsome guy.
00:52He's a stud and he's so funny.
00:54During an August 20th appearance on The Tonight Show, host Jimmy Fallon brought up Kelce's dream,
00:58and Sandler sounded pretty positive about the whole thing,
01:01all but confirming that Kelce will be in the film in some capacity.
01:04Travis has been, he mentioned it, and so we have a nice something for Travis,
01:09he's gonna come by, and he's cool, very nice guy, you guys would love him in real life.
01:13Kelce has already booked a few acting gigs. A new trailer for Ryan Murphy's upcoming series
01:18Grotesquerie dropped on August 15th and featured the briefest glimpse of Kelce with his hands
01:22crossing in front of his face. Details about the football star's role in the show are light,
01:26but the show's star, Nisi Nash-Betts, told Entertainment Tonight that Kelce's work on
01:30set surpassed her expectations.
01:32You know what? I'm pleasantly surprised. He's doing really well.
01:36Variety also recently reported that Kelce is circling an action comedy produced by John Wick
01:40auteur Chad Stahelski called Loose Cannons. Some lucky fans have already seen the big man in action,
01:46flexing his acting muscles live.
01:48This is one of my favorites.
01:50Taylor Swift's massive, world-spanning, record-setting heiress tour actually let
01:53Kelce show off his performing chops during a June stop in London.
01:57In the singer-songwriter's newest era, which centers on her newest album,
02:00The Tortured Poets Department, she collapses on stage and is revived by two dancers just
02:05in time to sing the high-functioning depression anthem, I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.
02:08During the June 23rd show at Wembley Stadium, Kelce, clad in a tuxedo and top hat and Christian
02:14Louboutin dress shoes, joins Swift and her dancers carrying the pop star over to a fainting couch.
02:19Kelce's appearance drove Swifties into a veritable frenzy,
02:22and it also reminded anyone watching that, besides his NFL bona fides, the guy is funny.
02:27Technically, this wasn't Kelce's first appearance at the heiress tour,
02:30if you count a huge name drop courtesy of Swift in February of this year.
02:33In the show's closing song, Karma, she changed the lyric,
02:36"'Karma is the guy on the screen coming straight home to me,"
02:39to a Kelce nod, singing instead,
02:41"'Karma is the guy on the Chiefs.'"
02:43Thanks to all of Kelce's upcoming acting roles, though, Swift can go with either option from now on.
