Travis Kelce’s acting abilities have been rated as ‘surprisingly good’ by his ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ co-star and iconic Hollywood actor Christopher McDonald.

Kelce has gotten attention from Hollywood for acting roles since his romance with Taylor Swift began in September 2023. 

The 35-year-old has appeared on ‘Saturday Night Live’, FX horror series ‘Grotesquerie’, and as the host of Prime Video game show ‘Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?’. 

Kelce’s exact role in the cult sports movie sequel is unknown beyond a cameo, yet, the Chiefs star is expected to have some screen time when the movie is released on July 25. 

It’s a big deal when Shooter McGavin takes the time to give you respect for something you did around a golf course.  

‘Travis Kelce has been out there and I just really liked him as a person. He is really funny. Way too handsome, by the way, but really a good actor actually,’ McDonald said to PEOPLE. ‘Surprisingly good.’
