Travis Kelce follows Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Michael Jordan, Terry Crews and Mike Tyson to Hollywood with cameo appearance in Happy Gilmore 2

Travis Kelce is the latest name in sport to turn to acting after Adam Sandler revealed that the Chiefs star will appear in Happy Gilmore 2.

The 34-year-old, three-time Super Bowl champion has long waited for his turn to be on the big screen, having hosted a game show – Are You Smarter than a Celebrity – this summer and a reality TV show – Catching Kelce – in the past (2016).

Kelce has also been involved in a few Saturday Night Live (SNL) skits ever since he won his second Super Bowl on the Chiefs in February of last year.

Kelce’s first SNL episode was on March 4th, so just a month after he and his Chiefs teammates defeated his brother Jason’s Philadelphia Eagles and not after he signed a deal with the talent agency, Creative Artists Agency.

Kelce has also acted in a few commercials, like for ‘Accelerator Energy’ with college sports star Olivia Dunne, Subway, Pfizer and State Farm with close pal and Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.

So, is the TV-experienced Kelce ready to follow into the footsteps of some the most cherished and remembered athletes-turned-actors? DailyMail.com takes a look at some former pros who have taken Hollywood by storm.

First up is a former wrestler-turned-actor constantly in high demand.

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, who was also a college football player at the University of Miami in the ’90s, wasted no time in trying to make himself a movie star since his WWE days, considering that his breakout came in 2001, when he was a leading actor in ‘The Mummy Returns,’ which also starred Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz and Arnold Vosloo. ‘The Rock’ retired from pro wrestling in 2004.

The 52-year-old, California native has appeared in a few blockbusters over recent years as well, such as ‘Fast X’ (2023), ‘Red Notice’ (2021) and ‘Jumanji’ (2017).

‘The Rock’ also played a main role in ‘Moana’ (2016), ‘San Andreas’ (2015), ‘Get Smart’ (2008) and ‘The Game Plan’ (2007).

Nowadays, Johnson’s estimated net worth is believed to be $800million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Johnson earns more than $20M per film, per Forbes.
