\u201cYou guys just go, \u2018All right, if I\u2019m doing this, I might as well be great at this,\u2019\u201d Sandler said of the Kelce brothers. \u201cTravis was locked in, he had to kind of be a bad guy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sandler also gave insight on Kelce and Bad Bunny\u2019s chemistry in the movie, saying that the two worked well together.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou two guys were amazing together,\u201d Sandler said. \u201cHe was so sweet, and you had to be a little bit of a louse to him. You didn\u2019t like doing it because you love the guy. You had to be mean to Benito, but we got it done and you look cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kelce also praised Bad Bunny \u2014 whose real name is Benito Antonio Mart\u00ednez Ocasio \u2014 on the podcast, calling the 3-time Grammy Award winner \u201cFunny as f\u2013k.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was just so much fun hearing the role and then Adam helping me like find the role on set and then just like it took me a second because looking at Bad Bunny in a scene it is hilarious, it is hilarious,\u201d Kelce said. <\/p>\n

\u201cBad Bunny is just naturally funny as f\u2013k, and I don\u2019t know\u00a0if people aren\u2019t around him enough. They are going to find out in \u2018Happy Gilmore 2\u2019 how funny this guy really is.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Travis Kelce is thrilled to see himself in the newest sports comedy flick.
