Three-time Super Bowl champ Travis Kelce is now taking his game to the big screen. Last week, fans got a look at the tight end in his first acting gig in Ryan Murphy’s upcoming FX series Grotesquerie. Since then, a windfall of casting announcements for the pro athlete have hit the wire, with Kelce set to star in the Lionsgate action-comedy Loose Cannons and nabbing a small role in Happy Gilmore 2. Adam Sandler revealed on The Tonight Show that cameras are rolling on the sequel to the comedy classic and that they “have a nice something for Travis” after the Chiefs star declared he would do “anything” to be a part of the film.
Ask and you shall receive, Travis. Ask and you shall receive.
Conan O’Brien is also willing to do anything to be part of a certain Emmy-winning series. On the latest episode of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, the comedian told Walton Goggins about the many unlikely roles he’s willing to play to be cast in the newest season of White Lotus. O’Brien ran into show creator Mike White in Bangkok, and offered to “play a part where (he’s) a male gigolo or something.” Audiences will have to wait and see if White took O’Brien up on his offer when Season Three hits Max next year.
Meanwhile, per usual, the timeline is delivering some seriously hilarious tweets. Today’s funniest include those about the humbling nature of the self-checkout camera, a fly’s nasty little habit and some unhelpful advice from energy companies.
