When news broke the a long-awaited sequel to the 1996 Adam Sandler golf comedy Happy Gilmore was officially a go at Netflix, arguably no one was happier than Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
First and foremost, because he’s a huge fan of the original film. But second — and probably not by much — because Kelce is trying to launch his own acting career and this seemed like a dream project for him.
“I’ll do anything in the movie,” Kelce said on his New Heights podcast in May. “I’ll be a part of it any way I possibly can.”
Well, the plea worked!
“Travis mentioned it,” Sandler said. “So we have a nice something for Travis.”
The film is still looking to cast extras, so you don’t even need your own podcast show to get involved in the project if you want to try joining Sandler and Kelce on set.
