“I didn’t even know there was a vacancy for Merry Gilmore 2” Travis said Wednesday. “But if that’s the case, I’ll be a f***ing plus. You know, anything to get around Merry Gilmore or (an) Adam Sandler movie or set – count me in.”

Travis made it clear that the fan’s suggestion was nothing more than a “conspiracy theory” at that time, but then seemed to hint at something more.

“Theories can come true,” he teased. “Theories can be true and people just don’t know it. So I could even be talking about it and no one knows it, but I couldn’t talk about it either.”

After win his third Super Bowl in five years, Travis has been busier than ever this NFL offseason. In addition to travel around the world by plane with his girlfriend, Taylor Swift — who is currently performing on the European part of his Successful Eras tour — Travis also tried his hand as a game show host for the upcoming Prime Video. Are you smarter than a celebrity?. He also made his official acting debut with a role in Ryan MurphyFX’s upcoming drama, Grotesquerieopposite Niecy Nash-Betts.

Travis’ older brother and co-host of the podcast, Legend of the Philadelphia Eagles Jason Kelcewas not swayed by the flimsy corroboration regarding Travis’ role in Merry Gilmoresaying, “There’s really no evidence to support this.”

Travis replied, “Except the movie is being made and I’m looking for movie deals.”

“And,” Jason continued, “we both love Adam Sandler. So we’re in line with about a thousand, a billion other people.”

Netflix announced the project earlier this month, but has remained tight-lipped on specific details surrounding the sequel, including its storyline, writer, and director. Sandler, who starred in and co-wrote the original Universal Pictures film Merry Gilmore, confirmed his involvement.

Travis could definitely have an advantage here if Sandler is looking to score points with her daughters — Sadie, 18, and Sunny, 15 — who are die-hard Swifties.

The legendary comedian, 57, admitted in a recent interview that he gets “a little nervous” around Swift.

“Just because I don’t want to ruin it for my kids,” he said on SiriusXM Conan O’Brien needs a friend in February. “So I’m kind of like ‘Taylor Taylor,’ like I’m talking a little too loud or something. I don’t stay as cool as I can.”

In August, the First 50 dates the star was spotted at the Eras Tour during Swift’s sold-out shows at SoFi Stadium. He was seen wearing a cotton candy-colored shirt and sporting several friendship bracelets on his wrist, a nod to Swift’s song, “You’re on Your Own, Kid.”

Sandler said O’Brien that Swift helped him connect with his daughters in a way that was fun for everyone. As for whether he considers himself a fan, the actor and comedian said you can also count him as a Swiftie.

“Besides, I know them too. But they know them inside and out,” he said of memorizing his songs. “But it’s just, remember the Beatles, every song on the record, you knew? It’s also Taylor Swift. Just you, there’s not a song you skip. You say, “This one is really cool.” »

For years now, talk of a sequel has been commonplace, especially after Sandler and Christopher McDonald, who played Shooter McGavin, said so several years ago. It was February 2021 when they appeared together on The Dan Patrick Show and shared that they were all involved in the sequel.

If Travis manages to get to the Merry Gilmore 2 together, Jason has a suggestion for his potential role.

“If Shooter were to have a caddy, it would be some random celebrity,” Jason mused. “I’m thinking, who better than professional tight end Travis Kelce to be the cadet? Because he’s going to want to show that he’s Shooter McGavin.”

Travis echoed his original statement, saying, “Like I said, I’ll do anything in the movie. I’ll be a part of it any way I can.”
