Travis Kelce is a great actor, says Adam Sandler
The 35-year-old NFL star makes a cameo appearance in Happy Gilmore 2, and Adam has admitted to being impressed by his co-star.
He told Entertainment Weekly: "Travis is honestly, he came in, he hung out with us a couple days. He was just a great, great actor."
Travis - who is dating pop star Taylor Swift - actually turned up on set the day after playing a game in the NFL.
And Adam thinks Travis could become an acting "superstar" one day.
The Hollywood star shared: "He's funny, just great personality. Just somebody that you'd want to hang out with all day long, and that he feels like he's your buddy. He feels like he will protect you.
"He feels like he's going to be nice to your family. He's got everything. And as an actor, swear to God, he could be a superstar if he wanted to do that."
Similarly, Christopher McDonald recently insisted that Travis is a "good actor".
The 70-year-old film star appears alongside Travis in Happy Gilmore 2, and Christopher admitted to being impressed by Travis' acting skills.
Speaking to People, Christopher shared: "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. Surprisingly good."
The original Happy Gilmore movie told the story of a failed ice hockey player who turned to golf in an effort to raise money for his family.
Christopher didn't actually get to play golf against Travis, but he's convinced the NFL star has "got game".
The actor said: "He's a good athlete. He's a beast. I'm sure he kills the ball."
Meanwhile, Travis recently rubbished suggestions that he could retire from the NFL, insisting he still has a lot to prove as a sportsman.
The Kansas City Chiefs player told reporters: "It wasn't a very tough [decision] for me.
"I know I'm getting older, but at the same time I still feel like I got a lot that I can prove in this league. It really wasn't that hard of a decision for me."

Jamie Lee Curtis admits she's 'very much like' Janet Leigh
Jamie Lee Curtis thinks she's like her mom "in many, many, ways". The 66-year-old actress is the daughter of screen idols Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, and Jamie admits that she could see a lot of herself in her mom, who passed away in 2004, aged 77. The Hollywood star - who has been married to Christopher Guest since 1984 - told People: "I tried to do everything not to be my mother. And, of course, I'm very much like my mother in many, many, ways. "My admiration for her has swelled as my disappointments have lessened. I know that my mother was so proud of me and and what I've achieved, that she respected my husband's work and was thrilled to be a grandma." Despite this, Jamie thinks her mom would've "loathed" her appearance in Everything Everywhere All at Once, the 2022 comedy-drama film. The actress explained: "My mother's been gone a long time. And today I have a freedom to be myself that my mother's generation would never have allowed. My mother would've been incredibly upset at Everything Everywhere All at Once and how I looked." Jamie believes her mom's generation was more image-orientated than her own. And she thinks that Janet would've disliked her appearance in The Last Showgirl, too. The veteran actress - who remains one of Hollywood's most bankable stars - explained: "Her generation was so much about your body and what you look like. And the beauty. The beauty is just who she was. That's what her life was. "My mother was literally jaw dropping. But I think that would've been very hard for her to see me with my tummy sticking out. Or in [the film] Last Showgirl, for her to see me in that dressing room at 66 years old. That really would've upset her. "I know her very well. I have accepted myself in a much bigger way than I think she felt she was allowed to, through her generation."

Bob Odenkirk admits to being 'too hard' on Saturday Night Live
Bob Odenkirk "had a lot of attitude" when he joined Saturday Night Live. The 62-year-old star served as a writer on the long-running TV comedy series between 1987 and 1991, but Bob admits that his attitude towards the show has evolved over time. He told Entertainment Weekly: "I was too hard on the show. "I had a lot of attitude when I got hired there, like, 'This show could be better, this show could be Monty Python, this should be more cutting edge, this should be more dangerous.' And I was frustrated by it not representing purely my point of view. I wanted it to be me, my show." Bob now realises that his ambitions were unrealistic. He said: "It's not my show! It's a show that is shared by everyone who's in that cast, and everyone who's in that writing staff, and it's shared by generations, and not one generation. "Everybody in America watches it, and it's a reference point for everyone. I think the 50th just made me more aware [than] ever of the amazing work that's been done there." Bob's attitude towards Saturday Night Live has changed as he's aged, with the actor now more aware of what is and isn't possible. He said: "It's a bigger challenge than I thought it was when I worked there. "When I worked there I was 25, I was like, 'C'mon, dammit! We can do better! This is easy!' And it literally was the years since I've left that I went, 'Wait a second, that show is almost impossible to do at all.'" Bob would actually love to host the TV show one day. He shared: "I would love that opportunity. I have mad respect for the effort of that show, and I would dream of being able to host." Bob has already spoken to Saturday Night Live bosses about hosting the show, and he remains on friendly terms with the cast and crew. The actor said: "There's been conversation about it. They don't have me locked out. I'm friends with everybody there, and I know so many of the writers, and I know so many of the actors. It's just part of my life."

NFL star Aaron Rodgers relishes married life
Aaron Rodgers is loving life as a married man. The 41-year-old sports star and his partner Brittani tied the knot earlier this year, and Aaron insists there's "no better feeling in the world" than being a married man. He told the NFL Network: "When you meet the right one, and you're with the right one, your whole world changes in a second. And to have that person that unconditionally loves you behind the scenes, there's no better feeling in the world, and I have the most incredible wife." Aaron admits that his wife has transformed his life, giving him a renewed sense of self-belief. The NFL star - who previously dated the likes of Olivia Munn and Shailene Woodley - said: "I just really love her, and I'm so thankful to have her by my side at the end. When you have that stability and that rock behind you at the house, you feel like you can do anything." Aaron has made a concerted effort to keep details about his marriage under wraps. However, he confirmed that he was dating Brittani during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show in December. Asked about his plans for the festive season, Aaron replied: "There was one package left for my girlfriend Brittani that hadn't showed up yet. I was waiting on this to show up, it showed up today." Aaron subsequently opened up about his love life, laughing off the idea that he was dating pop star Britney Spears. He clarified: "Not Brittany Spears, no, this is Brittani with an 'i'." Aaron then confirmed Brittani doesn't follow The Pat McAfee Show and that she doesn't have a presence on social media, either. Aaron also admitted that he was very happy with Brittani. Asked about being "in love", the Pittsburgh Steelers star replied: "It's a good feeling, boys. It is." Meanwhile, Danica Patrick, his ex-girlfriend, previously accused Aaron of being "emotionally abusive" during their time together. The former racing driver dated Aaron between January 2018 and July 2020, and Danica opened up about the circumstances surrounding their break-up. Danica said on The Sage Steele Show: "It was my life. So like when you live with somebody, it's your whole life. And because the nature of the relationship was emotionally abusive, so that wore me down to nothing."
