Adam Sandler on Bringing the Sequel to Life
Fans have relentlessly asked for a Happy Gilmore sequel since years ago and Adam Sandler finally fulfilled their request. The Tonight Show guest appearance last year exposed to fans the major production work he invested in creating the film.
“We worked hard on the script. We didn’t want to let anybody down. People have been asking me for a long time. We’re really excited about it. We wrote our asses off,” Sandler revealed. He also teased the involvement of real golfers, adding, “So many of the golfers are being nice and will be a part of it.”

“He’s gonna come by. He’s a very nice guy. You guys would love him in real life. What a big, handsome guy. Funny and cool as hell. He’s a stud and he’s so funny,”
Adam Sandler said. The first trailer of Happy Gilmore 2 does not feature Kelce’s appearance leaving audience members curious about the role he will play in the movie.
