Despite his absence, the Kansas City Chiefs star player received praise from the sports comedy’s lead actor, Adam Sandler. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the 58-year-old claimed that Kelce and Bad Bunny were “so confident” and “so funny.”
“They’re gonna go on and do whatever the hell they want,” Sandler added. The Murder Mystery actor expressed interest in working with them again. He noted that he “got very friendly with them,” and loved them both.
Kelce was not the only one involved in the movie who decided to sit out the premiere. Justin Thomas and Jack Nicklaus, who reportedly have roles in the sports comedy, also did not turn up. In the film, Kelce cameos as a hotel employee who shares a scene with Bad Bunny.
The movie premiere featured appearances from multiple high-profile celebrities outside the film’s cast. These included Jimmy Fallon, John Cena, internet personality Alix Earle, Hot Ones host Sean Evans, and Sandler’s frequent collaborator and fellow actor Steve Buscemi.
