That kind of appreciation goes both ways, too. In the lead-up to this movie’s release, some of Kelce’s Happy Gilmore co-stars have shared lovely stories about working with him. For example, Christopher McDonald, who plays Shooter McGavin, noted that the football player is “really funny,” “way too handsome,” and a “surprisingly good” actor.

Adam Sandler's new movie, "Happy Gilmore 2," includes a sweet homage to his late "Grown Ups" co-star Cameron Boyce.
