The Kelce family is stealing the spotlight this weekend, and it’s not just for their gridiron heroics. The long-awaited sequel to the 1996 comedy classic Happy Gilmore dropped on Netflix this past Friday, and it’s got a surprising twist: cameo appearances from Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce and the family patriarch, Ed Kelce. While retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce didn’t make the cut for the film, he’s cheering loudly from the sidelines with a heartfelt—and hilarious—shoutout to his brother and dad.
Jason took to Instagram to share a behind-the-scenes gem: a photo of Travis, Ed, and Happy Gilmore legend Adam Sandler on set. Calling it “one of [his] favorite photos ever taken,” Jason couldn’t contain his excitement about seeing his family share the screen with the comedy icon. “Just so surreal seeing these 3 together,” he captioned the post. “Congrats to the Sandman for bringing Happy back to life in glorious fashion, haven’t looked forward to a movie this much in awhile. And congrats to my brother for nailing his role and being involved in the sequel to one of the pinnacles of our childhood.”
True to form, Jason couldn’t resist a playful jab at Travis’ character—a waiter with a serious attitude problem. “I’ve never loved and hated a waiter so much!” he quipped, proving that even in Hollywood, the Kelce brothers’ sibling banter remains undefeated.
While Travis is busy making waves in Happy Gilmore 2, he’s also turning heads at Chiefs training camp with a fresh new hairdo as the NFL season looms. It’s been a whirlwind off-season for the tight end, who’s been spotted in a series of adorable snapshots alongside girlfriend Taylor Swift, capturing date nights and cozy hangouts that have fans swooning.
The Kelce family’s charm, from Ed’s proud dad moment to Travis’ star turn and Jason’s heartfelt hype, has added an extra layer of excitement to Happy Gilmore 2. This sequel is already shaping up to be a hole-in-one for fans of the original—and for Kelce fans everywhere.
