'I've never loved and hated a waiter so much': Jason Kelce jokes about Travis' Happy Gilmore 2 role in post with their dad
Jason Kelce just gave fans a crossover moment they didn't know they needed, football meets Hollywood comedy. In a new Instagram post, the former Philadelphia Eagles star shared what he called 'one of my favorite photos ever,' featuring Adam Sandler, his dad and his brother Travis Kelce, who apparently snagged a cameo role in Netflix's
Happy Gilmore 2
.
Jason's excitement was clear, and fans are already buzzing about this unexpected blend of NFL and movie nostalgia.
Jason Kelce praises Adam Sandler for bringing back a childhood classic
Kelce congratulated 'the Sandman' for reviving the beloved
Happy Gilmore
franchise, writing:
'Congrats to the Sandman for bringing Happy back to life in glorious fashion, haven't looked forward to a movie this much in awhile.'
The original
Happy Gilmore
remains one of the most iconic sports comedies ever made, and Netflix's sequel has quickly become a major streaming event.
Travis Kelce surprises fans with his new role
Jason also shouted out his brother:
'And congrats to my brother for nailing his role and being involved in the sequel to one of the pinnacles of our childhood.'
He even joked with Travis in the caption:
'@killatrav I've never loved and hated a waiter so much!'
Why this crossover moment matters for fans
This isn't just about a movie cameo, it's a cultural moment. In the film, Kelce plays an arrogant waiter who mocks and ultimately fires a young golfer during a country-club dinner.
The tension spirals into a surreal fantasy sequence where the waiter is tied to a post, covered in honey, and nearly attacked by a bear. It's slapstick, chaotic, and unmistakably Sandler's brand of comedy made even funnier by Kelce's straight-faced delivery.
Adam Sandler himself publicly praised Kelce's performance, calling him 'funny and cool as hell' and 'a stud' during a television interview. Sandler said Kelce was easy to work with and had 'great comedic instincts,' which explains why the cameo has become a highlight of the sequel.

Hansika Motwani removes wedding pics, videos with husband Sohael Khaturiya from Insta amid divorce rumours
Actor Hansika Motwani and her husband Sohael Khaturiya are reportedly facing trouble in their marriage, nearly three years after their lavish wedding in December 2022. Speculation about a possible separation has intensified after fans noticed that Hansika has deleted several photos and videos featuring Sohael, including their wedding footage, from her Instagram account. Social media silence and recent online behavior of Hansika Motwane and Sohael Khaturiya raise questions about their relationship status following their lavish wedding. Hansika deletes wedding pictures from Instagram Hansika has reportedly also moved back in with her mother, signalling a shift from the domestic life she had embraced with Sohael post-marriage. This comes as a surprise to many who followed their high-profile relationship, which was documented in a six-episode reality series titled Hansika's Love Shaadi Drama on JioCinema (formerly JioHotstar). The show had given fans an intimate look into their love story—from Sohael's romantic proposal under the Eiffel Tower in Paris to their grand wedding celebrations. The show portrayed the couple's chemistry, especially since Sohael was known to have been previously married to Rinky Bajaj, a woman speculated to be close to Hansika. Their marriage was seen as a union within a tight-knit circle, with Hansika's brother also sharing a longstanding friendship with Sohael. Sohael inactive on social media However, recent developments suggest cracks in that picture-perfect narrative. Sohael, who has been inactive on social media since 2023, has now made his Instagram profile private, further fuelling rumours of marital discord. Meanwhile, Hansika has remained silent and refrained from commenting on the growing speculation. Neither Hansika nor Sohael has issued an official statement regarding the rumours, but their digital silence and recent changes in online behaviour have led fans to wonder about their relationship status. About Hansika and Sohael Hansika Motwani transitioned from being a child star to starring in a wide range of films across multiple languages— from her debut in the Telugu blockbuster Desamuduru (2007) to hits like Tamil's Oru Kal Oru Kannadi, Velayudham, and Telugu's comedies Denikaina Ready, 100, and Tenali Ramakrishna BA BL. Her recent releases include Maha (2022), 105 Minutes and Guardian (2024), and My Name Is Shruthi (2023). Sohael Khaturiya is an entrepreneur known for founding Avanté TexWorld, a textile-export business, and co-running event management ventures. He also manages show productions and business operations alongside Hansika.

Arshdeep Singh coaches Siraj about making videos for Instagram: ‘Sab sikhaana padta hai bowling ko chhod ke'
After Mohammed Siraj dragged India over the finish line on Monday at the Oval to help Shubman Gill's side level the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2-2, he needed some help. He was trying to figure out the perfect social media clip to encapsulate the moment. In came Arshdeep Singh with an assist. The bowler who was not used by coach Gautam Gambhir in any of the five matches against England, helped out Siraj with content idea. In a video shared by the BCCI on its social media handles after India's six-run victory, Arshdeep is seen hilariously advising Siraj to film a two-second Instagram Reel. Arshdeep tells Siraj to say the popular catchphrase, 'Pressure? What pressure?' — a line made famous by football legend Alan Shearer during the UEFA Euro 2024 tournament. Arshdeep, in fact, even tells Siraj to pause for a second after saying 'pressure' for the first time, like a diction and speech coach. Siraj, who looks confused by Arshdeep's instructions, asks: 'Should I upload a Instagram Story or Post?' Arshdeep replies: 'Abbey Reel seedha. Do second ki (Make an Instagram Reel of two seconds).' He then looks at the BCCI camera person and quips: 'Sab sikhaana padta hai bowling ko chhod ke (Other than bowling, have to teach him everything).' Absolutely 𝗡𝗼 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 taken by Siraj to make this video! 😎#TeamIndia | #ENGvIND | @mdsirajofficial | @arshdeepsinghh — BCCI (@BCCI) August 4, 2025 Siraj ended the England tour as the highest wicket-taker of the series with 23 scalps in nine innings, including the nine wickets he took in the final Test at the Oval as the leader of the Indian bowling unit in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. He took the final wicket of the series, Gus Atkinson's, to complete India's victory over England and tie the series 2-2. After winning the game for India, Siraj said: 'To be honest, it feels amazing. We wanted to fight hard from Day 1 and to see this result is great. The plan was to keep it simple and hit one spot. When I woke up today I believed that I could do it. And when I woke up in the morning, I went to Google and found an emoji of believe. I put it on my wallpaper and said that I will do it,' Siraj said after the match. He later showed that wallpaper to the media. It featured Cristiano Ronaldo and a solitary word that became his driving force — 'Believe''
