Travis Kelce, the NFL’s dashing tight end and part-time comedian, just tackled a juicy Hollywood rumor with all the finesse of a Hail Mary pass.
At 34, this gridiron gladiator isn’t just content with smashing records on the field; he’s dipping his cleats into the glitzy world of showbiz. Travis has bagged a role in Ryan Murphy’s latest series, “Grotesquerie” (which we assume is about really, really ugly people) and he’s even hosting a game show, because why not?
But hold onto your helmets, because there’s a wild rumor blitzing through the rumor mill: Travis might be starring in “Happy Gilmore 2.” Yes, you heard that right. The sequel to Adam Sandler’s golfing classic could feature Kelce trading touchdowns for tee shots.
During a recent episode of his “New Heights” podcast, Travis addressed the whispers with all the seriousness of a referee at a toddler’s soccer game. “I didn’t even know there was a job opening for Happy Gilmore 2,” he laughed. “But if there is, I’ll be a f-cking extra, you know? Anything you can do to just get around Happy Gilmore or an Adam Sandler film or set. Count me in.”
Clearly a huge fan of Adam Sandler, Travis dropped more hints than a leaky faucet. “Who knows? Theories can come true. Theories can be true,” he mused, channeling his inner philosopher. “I might even be in the talking and no one knows about it, but I could also not be in the talking.” Confused? So are we.
One thing’s for sure: Travis Kelce is eyeing Hollywood with the determination of a fourth-quarter comeback. “I’m looking for movie deals,” he declared, as visions of Oscars danced in his head.
So, keep your popcorn ready, because whether he’s catching passes or catching lines, Travis Kelce is here to entertain.
