Travis Kelce isn’t being shy about his Hollywood ambitions.
The three-time Super Bowl champ is publicly declaring he wants movie roles — and wants to be in one film in particular.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end said on Wednesday’s episode of his New Heights With Jason and Travis Kelce podcast, “I’m looking for movie deals.”
He then added — specifically talking about Netflix’s upcoming Happy Gilmore 2 — “I’ll do anything in the movie. I’ll be a part of it any way I possibly can.”
Kelce was recently spotted wearing a Happy Gilmore hat following the streamer announcing that Adam Sandler was making a sequel to his beloved 1996 aggro-golf comedy.
The statement follows Kelce getting his first dramatic role in Ryan Murphy’s upcoming FX horror drama Grotesquerie. The project’s star, Niecy Nash-Betts, recently confirmed Kelce’s involvement in the show in an Instagram video.
Kelce’s fame outside of football surged over the last year thanks partly to his relationship with Taylor Swift, and the sports hero has been taking an increasing number of Hollywood opportunities along the way.
In April, he signed on to host Amazon’s upcoming game show, Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? — a reboot of the Fox series Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?
Kelce is also producing the upcoming war dramedy My Dead Friend Zoe. Additionally, Kelce is producing a documentary titled King Pleasure about artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Plus, Kelce debuted as a host of Saturday Night Live in March 2023 and appeared in sketches alongside his brother, Jason.
