Adam Sandler has confirmed that Bad Bunny and Travis Kelce will appear in the upcoming sequel to Happy Gilmore, which premiered on Monday night. The film boasts an extensive cast list, including original stars Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald, and Kevin Nealon, alongside newcomers such as Benny Safdie.
Sandler revealed that the idea to cast Bad Bunny came after seeing him host Saturday Night Live earlier this year. 'I saw him and I couldn’t believe how funny he was,' Sandler told Variety. The pop star’s agent persistently sought a collaboration, leading to a role being written for him in the script.
The sequel also features numerous cameos from athletes and celebrities, including Travis Kelce, Alix Earle, and 'Hot Ones' host Sean Evans. Bowen, who returns as Virginia Venit, joked that her children doubted she would be involved, but she said yes immediately when Sandler called.
Sandler also addressed the possibility of a Billy Madison sequel, quipping, 'Let’s write it tonight!' The film is part of Sandler’s multi-picture deal with Netflix under his Happy Madison Productions banner.
