Travis Kelce earns unexpected praise for first major movie role

Travis Kelce has proven himself as a "good actor" too apart from being a footballer.

In an exclusive chat with People on Tuesday, June 25, Christopher McDonald, who reprises his role as Shooter McGavin in Happy Gilmore 2, praised the Kansas City Chiefs tight end's acting cameo in the sequel.

Sharing about his experience of working with Kelce, McDonald called him a "surprisingly good" actor.

"Travis Kelce has been out there and I just really liked him as a person," McDonald gushed over the NFL star.

The veteran actor went on to say, "He is really funny. Way too handsome, by the way, but really a good actor actually."

"Surprisingly good," he remarked.

It is pertinent to mention that the Adam Sandler-led sequel is all set to release on Netflix on July 25.

Moreover, McDonald also praised Kelce’s golf skills he showed on the set while filming.

"I think he's got game," he said of Kelce, adding he did not get a chance to play with him on set.

"He's a good athlete," McDonald added. "He's a beast. I'm sure he kills the ball."
