Happy Gilmore 2 is soon on the way, and with that comes a new set of revelations.
The latest? Julie Bowen thinking she wasn't going to be asked back for the sequel. The actress, who starred as Adam Sandler's love interest in the first film, recently spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about the movie and told the publication she thought she was going to be replaced by Sydney Sweeney. Appearing at Netflix’s Tudum event on Saturday, Bowen stated: "I thought, 'Well, I won’t be in it.' And that was OK — it was like Virginia Venit, it’s been 30 years, he’s got a hottie. He’s got some little bitty on the side, like a cart girl."
She continued: "As a matter of fact, my children told me, before I was even told officially that there was a Happy Gilmore sequel, my now 18-year-old said, 'Mom, I hear they’re doing a sequel and he’s with Sydney Sweeney as a cart girl." She then joked: "I went, I’m hurt, and I so respect that move. Of course, why wouldn’t you? So when I got the call that I was actually in it, I was like, ‘Are you sure? Come on!"
