It was just so much fun to 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,” Kelce said. “Bad Bunny is just naturally funny as f—, and I don’t know if people aren’t around him enough. They are going to find out in ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ how funny this guy really is.”
