The Story Behind Why Musician Jack Antonoff Fully Lied To Adam Sandler When Happy Gilmore 2 Was Coming Together

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the upcoming sequel to “Happy Gilmore” has me more excited than any new game release. Adam Sandler, a comedy titan who’s been a part of my entertainment journey since my formative years, is back, and he’s bringing along a fresh face in Margaret Qualley.


Adam Sandler is a comedy legend, from his tenure in Saturday Night Live to his long list of hit movies. Arguably the most highly anticipated upcoming Adam Sandler movie is the sequel to Happy Gilmore, which has been a project decades in the making. Fans are eager to see the silly title character back on the screen, joined by newcomers like Margaret Qualley. And she’s connected with the story behind why Jack Antonoff fully lied to Adam Sandler when Happy Gilmore 2 was coming together.

Information about Happy Gilmore 2 is scarce, but it started filming in New Jersey back in September. Actress Margaret Qualley, who has been praised for her work in The Substance (a highly-acclaimed film), recently appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. During this appearance, she revealed that she will be part of the Adam Sandler sequel, mentioning it casually as a fact.

That amazing event was a turning point in my life. It might seem insignificant, but it fills me with joy to have experienced it… My first crush, the film that captivates me the most, and Adam Sandler are special to me. Just like many others, I consider him exceptional.

Without a doubt, the leading actress in “Maid” (available on Netflix) is quite determined when it comes to Adam Sandler. She was ready to go to great lengths to be part of “Happy Gilmore 2”, but unfortunately it fell upon her husband, musician Jack Antonoff, to carry out the necessary negotiations.

During her chat with Fallon, Qualley openly shared her intense eagerness to be part of the long-anticipated Happy Gilmore sequel. Although the 1996 movie isn’t one of Sandler’s top romantic comedies, it’s undeniably among his most memorable films ever made. In her words:

I just learned that there will be a second Happy Gilmore movie, so I immediately contacted my agents, expressing my eagerness. “Whatever the cost, no role is insignificant,” I pleaded with them. “I need to be involved in some way. I’m begging you, do whatever it takes.

It was then that Antonoff was needed, as Qualley’s representatives had contacted those in charge of Happy Gilmore 2. They had asked about Antonoff, the Grammy-winning producer and musician, because they believed Qualley could play golf. However, this wasn’t true; she actually couldn’t golf. In her own words:

He lied for the sake of the family… I’m terrible actually.

Antonoff, being fully aware of Qualley’s affection for Adam Sandler and the movie “Happy Gilmore”, made sure not to miss this opportunity for her to be part of the upcoming comedy. As a result, Qualley successfully secured a minor role in the sequel. We’ll simply have to keep an eye on who she might portray in the future.
