After it was revealed that Travis Kelce would have a role in Happy Gilmore 2, the NFL star has been in contact with Adam Sandler a lot. The two reportedly had dinner together, and that is where Kelce landed the gig for the sequel. It is unclear if the Taylor Swift effect got Kelce the job or if he genuinely earned it. Either way, Kelce will have some kind of role in the upcoming film.
The Daily Mail reports that Travis Kelce has been in contact with Adam Sandler “every week” to discuss his involvement in the film. Although it is unclear what role Kelce will have in the film, the tight end has landed his first major Hollywood job. Sandler is also said to be an “idol” of Kelce’s.

“Travis couldn’t believe it. It’s like a dream come true for him as Adam Sandler is one of his idols, a heavyweight in the movie business, and he loves his movies,” a source is quoted as saying. “So it’s a perfect opportunity for him to work with one of his favorite directors.”
Kelce has seemingly wanted to expand his name past football for some time now. Since the athlete started dating Taylor Swift, a new world of possibilities has been opened to him. Having the pop star’s name attached to his has done wonders for Kelce’s brand. As well as landing him some serious new gigs.
Travis Kelce has been everywhere, from the NFL to his podcast to his own game show. It seems everybody wants a piece of Kelce and Swift. That might even include Adam Sandler. From a business standpoint, having Swift’s name even slightly connected to Happy Gilmore 2 is not a bad thing.
