That kind of appreciation goes both ways, too. In the lead-up to this movie’s release, some of Kelce’s Happy Gilmore co-stars have shared lovely stories about working with him. For example, Christopher McDonald, who plays Shooter McGavin, noted that the football player is “really funny,” “way too handsome,” and a “surprisingly good” actor.

The best villain in Happy Gilmore 2 is none other than Travis Kelce. Netflix just dropped the long-awaited sequel to Adam Sandler’s 1996 comedy, about a failed hockey player named Happy Gilmore (Sandler) who enters a pro-golf competition to win the cash prize and prevent his grandmother’s house from foreclosure.
