Happy Gilmore 2 features more big cameos than anyone expected, and it also includes one with Travis Kelce, currently one of the most popular athletes in the world, in a wholly unexpected role. This has started a debate on social media platforms, with many fans claiming that this was an unnecessary cameo, while others relished the silliness of it all. Either way, Happy Gilmore 2 has managed to make a splash with this decision.
How fans reacted to Travis Kelce in Happy Gilmore 2
The reaction to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s cameo in Happy Gilmore 2 is largely divided. The athlete appears as a club employee in the film alongside Oscar (Bad Bunny). An antagonistic character, he is Oscar’s boss, who fires him over something very simple.
Later, Kelce’s character appears again in Oscar’s fantasy, wherein he imagines the former getting eaten by a bear after he smears honey all over his shirtless torso. Of course, this drew mixed responses from fans online, but some were less satisfied than others.
“Seeing Travis Kelce getting attacked by a bear in Happy Gilmore 2 wasn’t what I was expecting, but I wasn’t mad at it,” one user wrote, leaning into the silliness of the approach. Another user added, “I watched Travis Kelce on Happy Gilmore 2. It is funny.”
However, many were not so happy with the cameo. “Happy Gilmore 2 was pretty funny. MJF and Bad Bunny ruled. Travis Kelce can’t act to save his life,” one user wrote.
Meanwhile, another said, “Why is Travis Kelce in Happy Gilmore 2? Incredibly unnecessary addition.” Additionally, a fan wrote, “Was weirded out by Travis Kelce cameo in Happy Gilmore but Bad Bunny made it better.”
Overall, the reactions to Travis Kelce’s cameo in the much-awaited sequel remain split among fans. Yet, there is no denying that getting the NFL star on board was a great decision that gave further attention to the Adam Sandler-led film.
Happy Gilmore 2 is now streaming on Netflix.
