Returning for ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ was a big surprise for actress Julie Bowen and she is in a happy space. Julie recently appeared on the ‘Inside of You’ podcast, where she shared that she was certain about being replaced as the love interest of Adam Sandle by a younger actress in the ‘Happy Gilmore’ sequel.
“I didn’t think they’d bring me back at all,” Bowen said, adding, “I mean, who am I supposed to be? He’s got to have a younger woman in this one, ‘Happy Gilmore 2’.” Bowen shared that she was not sure about being part of the first film, in which she played the character of Virginia Venit, the pro golf tour’s public relations director. However, she thought that the makers would opt for a “hot girl” to play the part.
The other cast members include Margaret Qualley, Eric Andre, Sunny Sandler, Benny Safdie, Bad Bunny, Eminem and Travis Kelce.
Bowen said she has less screen-time in “Happy Gilmore 2” than in the original. Even so, she said her co-star, Adam Sandler, keeps encouraging her not to de-emphasise her importance. ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ releases on Netflix July 25.
