Happy Gilmore 2 Cast Steals the Spotlight in Star-Studded Sequel
The return of Adam Sandler’s most iconic character is finally here, and the Happy Gilmore 2 Cast delivers a massive punch of nostalgia, laughs, and celebrity cameos.
This isn’t just a sequel. It’s a full-on pop culture party, with actors, athletes, musicians, and podcasters all crashing the fairway. Now streaming on Netflix, the film is already lighting up UK screens with buzz and fan chatter.
“Adam came back because it felt right. He wanted to honour the old characters and do something fun for the fans.”
Sandler is back as Happy, joined once again by Julie Bowen as Virginia Venit. But this time, the Gilmore family has grown. Their children are played by Maxwell Jacob Friedman, Conor Sherry, Ethan Cutkosky, Philip Fine Schneider, and Sunny Sandler — Adam’s real-life daughter.
Also returning is Christopher McDonald as the smug Shooter McGavin. Ben Stiller reappears as Hal L, while Sandler regulars like Blake Clark, Steve Buscemi, Lavell Crawford, and Jackie Sandler all make their mark. Cameos from Eric André, Guy Fieri, and Oliver Hudson add some chaotic flavour.
“This isn’t just about golf. It’s about having fun again, laughing at the absurdity, and enjoying every cameo.”
And there’s no shortage of those. From wrestling legends to football icons, chart-topping rappers to world-famous golfers, the film doesn’t hold back.
Real-life pros and media personalities blur the line between fiction and reality. And in a touching twist, some scenes were rewritten after a co-star’s passing, as explored in this report on Sandler’s tribute rewrite of Happy Gilmore 2, adding emotional weight behind the comedy.
