Travis Kelce raved about his on-set experience with Adam Sandler while filming Happy Gilmore 2, set for release this year.

During a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, the Kansas City Chiefs star gushed about his involvement in the movie with one of his idols.

“That was a dream come true,” said Kelce, “I thought ‘SNL’ was going to be the pinnacle of my acting, showmanship or entertainment career.

“Working with Happy Gilmore himself, the Sandman and Happy Productions, it was off the chain.”

Kelce’s role in the film has not been announced at this time. However, in a recently released teaser, he appears to be playing the role of a country club employee.

After being on set, Kelce raved about the professionalism of the crew as she shot “a few” scenes for the pic.

“They are so professional yet so fun to work with,” Kelce said. ‘I felt like I was with the [Kansas City Chiefs’ coach] Andy Reid of the acting world. [Sandler] is as cool on screen as it is on screen.

“That was a dream come true,” he continued. “That was great.”

In addition to Kelce, the film also stars Ben Stiller, Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald, Jacqueline Sophia London, Benny Safdie and Nick Swardson.

While the plot for the sequel has not been revealed, the 1996 original followed a hot-headed hockey player who became a professional golfer to save his grandmother’s house from foreclosure.
