Adam Sandler on how Travis Kelce joined cast, and if Taylor Swift was asked
According to Extra, Sandler stated, “Travis was the perfect amount kind – he expressed a desire to be involved, so we penned something for Travis. When he agreed, my daughters, including my wife, were thrilled.
As a gamer putting myself in Adam Sandler’s shoes, I was once asked if Taylor Swift had ever been considered for a role in Happy Gilmore 2. I replied, “We didn’t want to disturb Taylor. She already does an amazing job of entertaining the world, so let her keep it up.” I added, “I played ‘All Too Well’ three times straight with my kid. She’s making a significant impact on our planet, and we admire her for that.”
At the New York City premiere of Happy Gilmore 2, Sandler shared that his daughters, Sunny and Sadie, are big admirers of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. The girls’ enthusiasm for Kelce’s part played a role in the casting choice. Regrettably, neither Kelce nor Swift were present at the event, but they were frequently mentioned by guests and media outlets.
As a fellow gamer, let me tell you, when I’m on set with Kelce, it’s no surprise he’s shining like the superstar he is – he’s always been one! And trust me, he doesn’t disappoint; he continues to outdo himself as a star.
