As Travis Kelce sees his extends into the twilight years, the Kansas City Chiefs star tight end is making a bee-line to Hollywood. Legendary comedian and movie-maker, Adam Sandler, is helping him make the transition. 

Appearing on "The Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon Tuesday night (h/t TMZ), Sandler shared that Kelce will be making a cameo appearance in his newest movie, "Happy Gilmore 2."

"We have a nice something for Travis," Sandler said. "He's gonna come by."

"He's a very nice guy. You guys would love him in real life. What a big, handsome guy. Funny and cool as hell. He’s a stud and he’s so funny."

Here is the entire video of Sandler's interview with Fallon:

This news of his cameo in "Happy Gilmore 2" comes on the heels of a report Tuesday that Kelce will have a starring role in another film, "Loose Cannons." He has also appeared in FOX horror series "Grotesquerie" and was a host of"Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?"

Kelce is a three-time Super Bowl champ and future Hall of Famer. Based on his recent extra-curricular activities outside of football, it appears he may be setting himself up for a legendary run as an entertainer.
