Happy Gilmore fans issue verdict on Travis Kelce's cameo in Adam Sandler sequel months before film's release

Adam Sandler has grown accustomed to negative reviews after more than three decades in Hollywood. Travis Kelce, Sandler's new co-star in the upcoming Happy Gilmore sequel, may have less experience in that area. 'Kelce ruined everything,' one fan wrote on X after a trailer ran during Wednesday's Christmas Day doubleheader.
'This is gonna be terrible,' another added. One commenter referred to an interview with Patrick Mahomes, who suggested the Chiefs star tight end should get some 'acting lessons' for Christmas. 'No wonder Mahomes wants to buy him acting lessons,' the person wrote after seeing Kelce in the 30-second spot on Netflix.
Travis Kelce appeared to be a hotel or country club employee in the 'Happy Gilmore' trailer. The film is expected to be released on Netflix in July of 2025. Kelce, who has already dipped his toe into acting by hosting Saturday Night Live, has a much-discussed cameo in the upcoming Happy Gilmore sequel. And in either a remarkable coincidence, or a shameless exhibit of corporate synergy, a preview for the upcoming Netflix release ran Wednesday during the Chiefs' 29-10 win over the Steelers on the streaming service.
The Chiefs tight end appears in the preview alongside music star Bad Bunny and 'Modern Family' actress Julie Bowen – a holdover from the original 1996 comedy. Dressed as a hotel or country club employee, Kelce greets the eponymous film's main character in the brief clip.
