That kind of appreciation goes both ways, too. In the lead-up to this movie’s release, some of Kelce’s Happy Gilmore co-stars have shared lovely stories about working with him. For example, Christopher McDonald, who plays Shooter McGavin, noted that the football player is “really funny,” “way too handsome,” and a “surprisingly good” actor.

Sandler's wife Jackie, and daughters Sadie and Sunny all appear in "Happy Gilmore 2," a follow-up to the 1996 golf comedy film. The Sandler family stepped out together to celebrate the sequel at the world premiere of "Happy Gilmore 2" in New York on July 21.
