Travis Kelce's quirky habit on Happy Gilmore 2 set revealed by producer
The NFL star joined a host of famous faces making cameos in the long-awaited sequel to Adam Sandler 's 1996 golf cult classic, joining the likes of Bad Bunny, world No 1 Scottie Scheffler and Eminem.
And while the Kansas City Chiefs tight end may be used to taking the hits on the football field, it appears a film set is just as taxing.
Chad Mumm, a co-producer on the movie and 'Full Swing' executive, revealed that the three-time Super Bowl winner would constantly sneak in naps throughout a day on set for the hit comedy.
'The only thing he had in his trailer was this massive like Eight Sleep bed and he would literally like go take a nap after filming,' Mumm said of Kelce on his Vanity Index podcast with Bachelor Nation alum Wells Adams.
'He'd film a scene and then everyone would go to lunch,' he added. 'And instead of lunch he would just take an hour long nap and then he would go, come back, film again. Then go back to sleep.'
Mumm, who has worked on Netflix's behind-the-scenes golf series for three seasons, also revealed that he was responsible for bringing 27 professional golfers to set, admitting he only missed out on two names: Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods.
Kelce shared the screen with musician Bad Bunny, interacting with some of the biggest names in golf, including Xander Schauffele, Nick Faldo and the legendary Jack Nicklaus, as he played his role as a clubhouse waiter to perfection.
And Sandler, who reprised his role as the titular character, had nothing but praise for both Kelce and the rapper at the film's New York City premiere.
'They were both so confident and so funny. They're gonna go on and do whatever the hell they want,' Sandler told The Hollywood Reporter of the pair.
'But I'd love to do something with them again, because I got very friendly with them, and I love them both.'
Kelce had long been excited about his cameo in the film and producer Jack Giarraputo revealed to Daily Mail last week that it wasn't hard to lure him to set.
'Different cameos came in different ways,' Giarraputo said.
'With Travis, he was wearing the hat around and saying, "I heard there's a sequel, I want to be in it!" So that was helpful,' he continued.
'Adam saw Bad Bunny on SNL and thought, "He's funny, we should put him in the movie."
While Kelce couldn't attend the premiere due to NFL preseason kicking off, he still made sure to host a screening of the film from training camp.
Kelce debuted the Netflix comedy hit to his Chiefs teammates at Missouri Western State University.
Kelce greeted attendees of the casual event with 'Happy Gilmore' merch and could be seen holding a putter before the movie started, in a video posted by the Chiefs to X.
It wasn't long before Kelce's teammates saw him on screen and were left delighted by his performance.
The screening was also attended by motivational speaker Damon West , a reformed crime boss who was invited by coach Andy Reid to speak with the team.
West posed with Reid, Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes for a photo which he later posted to social media.

Wife insists ‘3-hour night' is perfect for saving your marriage – you don't even need to spend full time with husband
A WIFE is sharing her secret '3-hour rule' that keeps her marriage alive, and other married couples can't get enough of it. TikToker Rachel Higgins posted a video sharing the simple way she and her husband manage to reconnect after long days. 2 Higgins and her husband began following a three-hour night back in 2024, and the mother said it has been a 'game changer' in their relationship. What is the three-hour night? Higgins explains it as dividing up three hours into three different sections, which allows them to accomplish chores and connect. Higgins and her husband would previously spend the entire night taking care of their young daughter, lounging on the couch while scrolling through their phones, and then going to bed. However, after prioritizing their relationship, their nights take on a slightly different look. 'What we do is after my daughter goes to bed…we take an hour of productive time,' Higgins explained. 'Anything that's productive for the household.' During the productive hour, they do chores that they couldn't accomplish throughout the day, such as cleaning the kitchen or laundry. 'The second hour we're dedicating to our marriage. 'During this time, we put our phones away and we're solely dedicated to each other and to our marriage.' Higgins said that this hour can look a little different every night. How can I bring up kinks with my partner? Some nights it may mean taking a shower together, while others it may just be as simple as playing a game together. The purpose of this hour is to debrief, discuss, and connect. 'The last hour is about taking time to yourself,' she said. In the final hour, both of them can do whatever they want without judgment. Carson Daly's relationship rule In 2024, Carson Daly revealed his secret relationship rule to People: Daly told People that he and his wife, Siri Pinter, sleep in separate rules. 'It's been good for us,' said the Today host before revealing that he and Siri 'secretly love it.' Daly isn't the only celebrity to participate in the "sleep divorce" trend. Cameron Diaz said in 2023 that she and her husband Benji Madden also sleep in different rooms. 'We should normalize separate bedrooms,' she said. "To me, I would literally, I have my house, you have yours." This may be lying on the couch, on your phone, or any other self-care activities you need to do. 'Main point is to inspire you to be intentional with your time if you feel stuck doing the same thing every night like we did,' Higgins wrote in the comments. 'No hard rules.' Higgins said that they don't necessarily accomplish their three-hour night goal every night, but they try to do it three to four times a week. The mother said that even just succeeding one night a week can be enough. Higgins' three-hour night drew the attention of over 300,000 TikTok users, with many people rushing to the comments to support the idea or question how she manages to make it work.

Brad Pitt's mother dead as family pay tribute
Brad Pitt 's mother has died aged 84. The death of Jane Etta Pitt, a retired school counselor, was confirmed by her granddaughter and Pitt's niece Sydney in a heartbreaking post on Wednesday. Sydney , the daughter of Pitt's younger brother Doug, lauded her 'sweet Grammy ', writing: 'We were not ready for you to go yet but knowing you are finally free to sing, dance, and paint again makes it a tad easier. 'If you knew Grammy, you knew she had the biggest heart. She cared deeply for everyone and everything, no questions asked. 'She taught me how to paint, how to be strong, how to lead with kindness, to love Jesus through everything, and to find joy in the smallest things. 'She made up the silliest games just to make us laugh, and she believed in fairness, in putting others first, and doing good simply because it was the right thing to do. She added Jane 'could keep up with all 14 of us grandkids without missing a beat. 'There was no limit to the love she gave, and everyone who met her felt it.' 'I don't know how we move forward without her. But I know she's still here in every brushstroke, every kind gesture, every hummingbird. She was love in its purest form. 'We were truly blessed to have her to love on growing up and I know she lives on through each of us.' Jane is survived by husband William Alvin Pitt, three children and 14 grandchildren. Son Doug has Sydney, Landon and Regan with his wife Lisa, while daughter Julie is mom to Caleb, twin daughters Josie and Rylie, as well as adopted sons Caden and Cruz, whom she shares with her husband Scott Neal. Pitt is father to Shiloh, 19, twins Vivienne and Knox, 17, and three adopted children Maddox, 24, Pax, 21 and Zahara, 20 - who he welcomed with ex-wife Angelina Jolie. He has been estranged from his children since an explosive fight on their private jet in 2016 resulted in Angelina, 49, filing for divorce - and last year insiders told the Daily Mail his parents were 'heartbroken' at not seeing their grandchildren for eight years. Brad Pitt's representatives declined to comment when contacted by the Daily Mail. Jane wed Brad's father William - the former owner of a trucking company - in 1962 and the future Oscar winner, now 61, was born the following year. After the birth of Brad in 1963, William and Jane welcomed son Doug in 1966 and sister Julie in 1969. They raised their family in Springfield, Missouri. While Jane and William kept mostly out of the spotlight, they did occasionally join Pitt on the red carpet. They memorably supported their son and then-partner Jolie at the 2012 Academy Awards. In 2014 they walked the red carpet with Pitt and three of their grandchildren at the premiere of Jolie's film Unbroken - after the actress was unable to attend due to chickenpox. Jane said of 'We're so very proud of Angie. This means so much to our family, especially our grandchildren. We love her dearly.'
