Adam Sandler thinks Travis Kelce is a "great, great actor"

He told Entertainment Weekly: "Travis is honestly, he came in, he hung out with us a couple days. He was just a great, great actor."

Travis - who is dating pop star Taylor Swift - actually turned up on set the day after playing a game in the NFL.

And Adam thinks Travis could become an acting "superstar" one day.

The Hollywood star shared: "He's funny, just great personality. Just somebody that you'd want to hang out with all day long, and that he feels like he's your buddy. He feels like he will protect you.

"He feels like he's going to be nice to your family. He's got everything. And as an actor, swear to God, he could be a superstar if he wanted to do that."

Similarly, Christopher McDonald recently insisted that Travis is a "good actor".

The 70-year-old film star appears alongside Travis in Happy Gilmore 2, and Christopher admitted to being impressed by Travis' acting skills.

Speaking to People, Christopher shared: "Travis Kelce has been out there and I just really liked him as a person. He is really funny. Way too handsome, by the way, but really a good actor actually. Surprisingly good."

The original Happy Gilmore movie told the story of a failed ice hockey player who turned to golf in an effort to raise money for his family.

Christopher didn't actually get to play golf against Travis, but he's convinced the NFL star has "got game".

The actor said: "He's a good athlete. He's a beast. I'm sure he kills the ball."

Meanwhile, Travis recently rubbished suggestions that he could retire from the NFL, insisting he still has a lot to prove as a sportsman.

The Kansas City Chiefs player told reporters: "It wasn't a very tough [decision] for me.

"I know I'm getting older, but at the same time I still feel like I got a lot that I can prove in this league. It really wasn't that hard of a decision for me."
