- Taylor Swift's significant other might be preparing for a possible career transition to Hollywood.
This year in May, there was a buzz that NFL star Travis Kelce would be stepping into the limelight for a horror show. In the FX series "Grotesquerie", produced by the brains behind "Dahmer" and "American Horror Story", Ryan Murphy, Kelce will be seen in an unnamed side role. That's not all; the Super Bowl champion will also feature in the follow-up of a famous comedy by Adam Sandler, and there's a possibility of him leading an action-comedy in the future. Seems like Hollywood is next?
Travis Kelce to be a part of "Happy Gilmore 2"
Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL, extended his contract with his team in May for a whopping $34 million over the next two seasons, according to US media. At 34 and playing his 12th NFL season, his future plans seem to be emerging.
Adam Sandler confirmed on the "Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon on August 20th that Travis Kelce will join his upcoming comedy, "Happy Gilmore 2". Sandler praised the Kansas City Chiefs player, saying, "He's coming by. He's a really nice guy. You'd love him in real life." He added, "What a huge, good-looking guy. Funny and damn cool."
The specific character Kelce will portray in the Netflix sequel remains a mystery. The production for "Happy Gilmore 2" is set to begin shortly, but no date for the streaming film has been announced yet.
Possible lead role in "Loose Cannons"?
On the other hand, Variety hints at Kelce possibly taking the lead role in the Hollywood project "Loose Cannons". This action comedy is produced by "John Wick" creator Chad Stahelski, and the story revolves around two unconventional cops who must work together to rectify each other. This could be Kelce's stepping stone into a legitimate acting career, but due to the NFL season, which commences in early September, he won't be on set anytime soon.
