Adam Sandler made sure Travis Kelce felt appreciated even though the Chiefs' TE couldn't attend Happy Gilmore 2 premiere
Adam Sandler praises Travis Kelce despite his absence at star-studded Happy Gilmore 2 premiere (Getty Images) Travis Kelce might have missed the glitz of the Happy Gilmore 2 premiere in New York City, but he certainly wasn't forgotten. While the Kansas City Chiefs tight end was noticeably absent from the red carpet, lead star Adam Sandler ensured that Kelce's contribution to the film didn't go unnoticed—offering heartfelt praise and even a few jokes that showed just how much Kelce left a mark on set. Why did Travis Kelce skip Happy Gilmore 2 premiere? Travis Kelce, 35, has been gradually expanding his presence beyond the gridiron, and his cameo in Happy Gilmore 2 marks his first official film role. He plays a hotel employee in the Netflix sequel, sharing an entertaining scene with global music icon Bad Bunny. But despite his rising presence in entertainment, Kelce stayed loyal to his day job—choosing training camp over the premiere. With Kansas City's training camp kicking off the very next morning at Missouri Western State University, Kelce had already reported with the team a day early. The timing made it nearly impossible for him to attend Monday night's star-studded screening. That decision, while disappointing for fans hoping to spot him alongside girlfriend Taylor Swift—who also skipped the event—speaks volumes about Kelce's ongoing commitment to football, even amid his growing fame in Hollywood. It's also worth noting that Kelce and Swift have never made a formal red carpet appearance as a couple, despite being together for nearly two years. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like A genetic disorder that is damaging his organs.

'They were both so confident and so funny,' Sandler told The Hollywood Reporter, referring to Kelce and Bad Bunny. 'They're gonna go on and do whatever the hell they want. But I'd love to do something with them again, because I got very friendly with them. I love them both.' Happy Gilmore 2 | Official Trailer | Netflix Sandler didn't hold back his admiration for Kelce and even offered Swift some unexpected appreciation. When asked if Taylor Swift might join the cast in the future, he quipped, 'Just let Taylor entertain the world like she does... she's done a lot for our planet.' In another interview, the 50 First Dates star joked that if he weren't acting, he'd become a 'professional Swiftie,' screaming 'Taylor! I love you!' from the sidelines. The premiere may have been packed with celebrities—from Jimmy Fallon to John Cena and golfer Scottie Scheffler—but one thing was clear: Kelce's absence didn't dim his star. Thanks to Sandler's shoutout, the tight end's short but memorable film role got the spotlight it deserved—even if he was hundreds of miles away suiting up for another season. FAQs: 1.

Ahaan Panday Mimics Ranbir Kapoor In Viral Video; Fans Dub Him 'Bollywood's Next Superstar'
Before stepping into films, Ahaan Panday had gained popularity on Dubsmash, where he recreated famous Bollywood scenes. Ahaan Panday is enjoying a dream start in Bollywood with his debut film Saiyaara turning out to be a blockbuster. The Mohit Suri directorial, co-starring Aneet Padda, has already smashed several box office records within days of its release. As the spotlight firmly rests on the industry's newest heartthrob, fans are drawing comparisons between Ahaan and Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor. Interestingly, this comparison isn't entirely new. Before stepping into films, Ahaan Panday had gained popularity on Dubsmash, where he recreated famous Bollywood scenes. Some of his most viral clips were inspired by Ranbir Kapoor's films. From mouthing the lyrics of Channa Mereya to dancing on Bachna Ae Haseeno and Dilliwaali Girlfriend, Ahaan seemed to be an unabashed Ranbir fan in those early videos. One clip even sees him performing the intense dialogue from Rockstar, and fans are now sharing these snippets on social media with the caption 'Ranbir 2.0". In fact, many netizens are convinced that Ahaan's screen presence and charm mirror a young Ranbir Kapoor. One user wrote, 'He's got the Ranbir vibe. Raw, emotional, effortless." Knew #AhaanPanday was destined for greatness when I found out he was a fan of #RanbirKapoor — RKᵃ (@seeuatthemovie) July 21, 2025 Another video that's gone viral again is Ahaan lip-syncing Shah Rukh Khan's iconic monologue from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. While some fans praised his performance, the clip had earlier been trolled when it surfaced two years ago on Reddit. However, the conversation around it has now shifted, with many admiring how far he has come from social media skits to big-screen success. In 2025, after three years of preparation and training under the Yash Raj Films banner, Ahaan finally made his acting debut. Saiyaara, produced by YRF and directed by Mohit Suri, has been met with immense love from the audience. The music, especially the title track, has contributed significantly to the film's appeal. As old videos of Ahaan flood social media once more, fans seem to agree on one thing, Bollywood has found its next big romantic hero. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Sydney Sweeney Unrecognisable As Boxer Christy Martin In First Look From Biopic ‘Christy'
Last Updated: Sydney Sweeney transforms into boxing legend Christy Martin for her upcoming biopic 'Christy', set to premiere at TIFF 2025. Sydney Sweeney is stepping into the ring—literally—for her most dramatic transformation yet. The Euphoria star is all set to portray legendary boxer Christy Martin in the upcoming biopic Christy, and the first official photo from the film is already creating waves. The image, released by Black Bear Pictures on July 21, shows Sweeney looking nearly unrecognisable with Christy Martin's signature dark curls, a muscular frame, and a boxer's fierce intensity. Wearing red gloves, long tassel shorts, a white tank top, and a mouthguard, Sweeney channels Martin's gritty energy in a boxing ring. The film is set to premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) this September. Sweeney, who is known for her long blonde locks and glamorous red carpet appearances, underwent a stunning physical transformation for the role. In a June 2025 interview with W Magazine, she revealed that she gained over 30 pounds and trained rigorously to match Martin's powerful physique. 'I started eating. I weight-trained in the morning for an hour, kickboxed midday for about two hours, and then weight-trained again at night for an hour," she shared. 'My body was completely different. But it was amazing: I was so strong, like crazy strong." The biopic is directed by The King filmmaker David Michôd, who was reportedly stunned by Sweeney's commitment and transformation. Recalling a moment when he saw her again on the set of Euphoria season 3, he said, 'I was stunned by the change in her appearance. I had only seen her as an adorable, tough moppet with late-'80s hair, ready to box. Sydney was happiest when she was in the ring punching and being punched. It was shocking to see her being so glamorous." Sweeney first hinted at her role in Christy back in October 2024 by posting behind-the-scenes photos that showed off her bulked-up physique and ring training.
