Netflix teases 'Happy Gilmore 2' fans with behind-the-scenes look at Chiefs TE Travis Kelce’s viral scene

Kelce's acting drew praise from Sandler throughout the filming process and then while he was promoting the movie ahead of its release.

“Travis and Bunny are ridiculous in it,” Sandler told PEOPLE. “Can’t believe they’re my buddies now.”

He also spoke with Entertainment Tonight about Kelce’s cameo and his new friendship with the three-time Super Bowl champion.  

“Travis is such a gentle, nice guy, and funny as hell,” Sandler said. “He’s like the guys I grew up with. When I was with Travis, it reminded me of my buddies in high school and just being able to laugh and say the things you want to say.”

And one other person was a very big fan of Kelce's acting.

Taylor Swift helped promote the movie on the day of its release, posting on her Instagram story.

“Happy Gilmore 2 had me cackling and cheering the whole movie! An absolute must watch, 13-10, go watch it on @netflix as soon as humanly possible ,” Swift wrote on her Instagram story, including a little tribute to Kelce with the honeypot emoji.
