“Travis is such a gentle, nice guy, and funny as hell,” Adam Sandler previously said about Kelce in the movie
An Adam Sandler film featuring a cameo from your boyfriend and Bad Bunny? I’d be loving it too, Taylor! On Friday, Taylor Swift shared an Instagram Story celebrating the release of Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix, encouraging her fans to tap in and watch it ASAP.
“Happy Gilmore 2 had me cackling and cheering the whole movie!” Swift wrote on her Instagram story, alongside the film poster and a honey emoji. “An absolute must watch, 13/10, go watch it on @netflix as soon as humanly possible.”
Travis Kelce is one of the surprising stars to cameo in the Adam Sandler-starring film, and his scene is teased by Swift’s emoji choice. (We won’t spoil the cameo for you.) Eminem, Eric André, Post Malone, Bad Bunny, and Margaret Qualey are among the A-listers to also make appearances in the movie.
“Travis is such a gentle, nice guy, and funny as hell,” Sandler told Entertainment Tonight. “He’s like the guys I grew up with. When I was with Travis, it reminded me of my buddies in high school and just being able to laugh and say the things you want to say.”
Happy Gilmore 2 officially dropped on Netflix on Friday, and arrives nearly 30 years after the first film, in which Gilmore (played by Sandler) tries to make a golf comeback after failing at hockey. Like in the original, Gilmore continues to fly off the handle when things don’t go as he plans, and some of the original cast — including Julie Bowen (who portrays love interest Virginia Venit), Christopher McDonald (playing nemesis Shooter McGavin), and Ben Stiller (Hal) — reprise their roles.
“The whole shebang works better than you might think, partly because nostalgia is one powerful narcotic and partly because you can’t underestimate the sheer pleasure of watching people get repeatedly hit in the nuts with balls,” read a Rolling Stone review of the film.
