Bad Bunny is taking over as Happy Gilmore’s caddie in Happy Gilmore 2.
Netflix
With the rare occurrence of Christmas and the first night of Chanukah falling on the same day, Happy Gilmore himself delighted fans of the film on Wednesday by dropping the first teaser in The upcoming “Happy Gilmore 2.” on a holiday surprise.
Adam Sandler, who played the titular hockey player-turned-golf phenom and will reprise the role in the upcoming Netflix film, tweeted to his 3.1 million followers late this morning.
In the short 33-second clip, much of the footage features Sandler sporting his now-famous beard and iconic Boston Bruins jersey from the original 1996 film. However, the clip also confirms appearances by Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and rapper Bad Bunny in the film.
Fans of Allen Covert’s performance as Otto, the homeless caddy in the original film may be disappointed as it appears that Bad Bunny has taken over the role of Gilmore’s caddy based on the tease. It has often been said you you never want to be the first caddy of a rising star (see “Fluff” Cowan and Tiger Woods), so it seems Otto may have fallen victim to the trend.
The ‘Happy Gilmore’ sequel will be filmed at this New Jersey golf club, the memo reveals
The teaser confirmed the appearances of two of Gilmore’s co-stars from the original film; Julie Bowen as Gilmore’s love interest and director of public relations for the Pro Tour Virginia Venit and Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin, Gilmore’s rival on the Pro Tour and antagonist of the first film.
Addressing a line in the first film, the popular Twitter account “Shooter McGavin” tweeted that he would dedicate his performance in the sequel “To the Memory of Chubb.” The character of longtime golf pro Chubbs Peterson was killed off in the first film, and actor Carl Weathers passed away in February.
At the beginning of this year, GOLF reported that “Happy Gilmore 2” will be filmed mostly at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club in New Jersey.. Filming would begin in early October.
No official release date was given for the sequel, which will stream exclusively on Netflix, but a banner at the end of the teaser confirmed a release in 2025. The film will be directed by Kyle Newacheck.
