Christopher McDonald Hails Travis Kelce's 'Surprisingly Good' Acting in 'Happy Gilmore 2'

Travis Kelce's co-star Christopher McDonald said his acting skills were 'surprisingly good'

SCORCHING ROMANCE ALERT!

In a surprise twist, NFL star Travis Kelce's acting chops have been given the thumbs up by none other than Hollywood icon Christopher McDonald, his co-star in the upcoming sequel "Happy Gilmore 2"!

As you may know, Kelce has been making waves in Tinseltown since his high-profile romance with pop sensation Taylor Swift took center stage in September 2023. The 35-year-old tight end has already flexed his acting muscles on "Saturday Night Live", FX's spine-tingling horror series "Grotesquerie", and as the host of Prime Video's game show "Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?".

But what's got everyone talking is Kelce's rumored cameo in "Happy Gilmore 2", set to hit theaters on July 25. When asked about his co-star, McDonald gushed: "Travis Kelce has been out there and I just really liked him as a person. He's really funny. Way too handsome, by the way, but really a good actor actually – surprisingly good!"

As fans know, Swift and Kelce have been going strong since their whirlwind romance began. And at this week's Tight End University in Nashville, the power couple took things to the next level by sharing a sultry PDA moment that left everyone in awe!

But let's get back to "Happy Gilmore 2". The film, which was shot from September to December (right during the last NFL season), has already generated major buzz. And with an all-star cast featuring golf legends Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka, fellow gridiron star Reggie Bush, and professional wrestlers Becky Lynch and Maxwell Jacob Friedman, this sequel is shaping up to be a real showstopper!

The question on everyone's mind: will Kelce's NFL commitments impact his acting career? After all, the last NFL season saw him receive criticism for not being at his best as Kansas City pursued their third consecutive title.

SCANDALOUS SNAP ALERT!

As fans waited with bated breath for more details about "Happy Gilmore 2", a jaw-dropping photo from Monday night's launch party at LA Jackson cocktail bar dropped like a bombshell. The image in question shows Swift wrapped around Kelce's neck, her arms entwined as they shared an intimate moment that left onlookers gasping!
